Unless it comes with a stand and eyeshade, and has the option to view every game in red monochrome, pass. When will this current 3D craze just die!?

PSP in Japan is selling like hotcake. It is even beating DSi. This comes to no surprise why Nintendo planning to launch new DS with 3d capability. PSP already done it few years ago. I think this will truly mean real 3d handheld war.

When will Nintendo ever come up with their own ideas? /sarcasm.
Nintendo fanboys have been saying it ever since Sony announced six axis, then motion control, and then about Microsoft when announcing the Natal. Now you see Nintendo announcing a system with 3d capabilities which Sony has been working on to be integrated into the PS3 for years now.
I could honestly care less about 3d, but yeah. Just thought I'd bring that up.
Everything in the above post is opinion unless stated otherwise.
So does that make the DSi and DSi XL this generation's Sega CD/32X?
To your point, why are they bringing this up now? Couldn't they have waited for the DSI XL to have some retail time to itself without the overlooming threat of new replacement hardware? I suppose they have a master plan for all of this though.Originally Posted by jcalder8

Where's the surprise? We didn't see the backlit SP ("SP2") and Micro until after the DS was on store shelfs and the DS Lite was announced and was just a handful of months away from hitting store shelfs.
The DSi XL was never portrayed as the next generation of Nintendo handhelds. It was a refinement of the Nintendo DS platform that has a larger screen to appeal to those that desired that. It's the Game Boy Micro of the DS generation that is catering towards a niche in the marketplace.
If anything, it's a classy move on Nintendo's part to let consumers know a new generation is on it's way and will be backwards compatible. That way, consumers don't feel burned buying the latest revision of the DS thinking they'll be set for the next couple of years only to see a new generation of Nintendo handheld hitting the marketplace relatively soon.
And I'm unsure what relationship the Sega CD and 32X have with the upcoming DSi XL. The DSi XL is a revision of an existing platform, just like the top loading NES, 4 switch and Jr. 2600 models, the revised SuperNes, the Sega Genesis 2 and 3, PSOne, slim PS2 and PS3, and numerous Nintendo handhelds before this.

I'll wait for the 3DS lite before I make a purchase.
It's like a portable gamecube!
... or like two gamecubes in the same box!
Do they have a massive backlog of gamecube parts or something?
<Sothy> its the internet <Sothy> who cares
If it's got the head-tracking/eye-tracking tech similar to what the DSi has (and supposedly it does) color me very intrigued...
Possible Nintendo 3DS effect - DSi
Not having a DS or DSi, and being backwards compatible, I'd consider it.

How long did it take for 3D movies to die off in the 50's before they came back recently? I honestly don't know, but once people get tired of the new effects they'll die off.
It's nice Nintendo announced this before the XL got released, imagine if people went out and bought the XL instead of waiting for this new 3D system. Nintendo just saved people a lot of money at their own expense. Thanks big N.
3D also came back in the early 80's and than died off. It seems like everyone goes nuts over 3D for a short time...but than they quickly loose interest in it. 3D disappears for awhile, than they bring it back for a new generation. It sticks around for a little bit, people grow tired of it again, and it disappears for another 20 or 30 years.
I merged the two threads that were running along....
I'm all for this, particularly because my DS collection will be usable on this system and I have just a *few* DS games.
Because it makes no attempt to be great, it is therefore extremely great.

The concept of "3D" in a portable is sound. All you'd have to do is put several layers of very clear LCDs in a stack and project images onto all to create a parallax style 3D depth image. It would take a lot of horsepower to run five or six LCDs, though. But it's still possible. The device would have to be a bit thick. Not as thick as a Game Gear or Lynx, of course, but thicker than a DS.
