3D is pathetically over rated.
It is nothing special.
They are venturing into places that are best not travelled.
It's like going into a cave that says "DEAD END"
They know it's coming but they still go in anyway...

Ok, I'm interested enough to keep an eye on it, but not yet intrigued enough to actually buy it. Keep them infos coming, and I may change my mind, but this thing had better come with a large bottle of aspirin if it's anything like the virtualboy (or so I'm told, as I've never played the bloody thing).
I'm slightly saddened my thread has been killed by you evil evil reporters doing your jobs! 
I mean it was only 6 hours old and its been killed. The horror, the hororrrrrr!
On topic: I bet pokemon gen 5 for launch title along with okamiden and GS3 and if it does have the rumored GC level of power RE4:3DS as Capcom love whoring that game as much as they can

Looks like 3D is the next big thing. In the future we'll all have 4D TVs (3D TVs with clocks attached) and will laugh at the primitive fools who lusted after 3D.

Which gimmick would that be? If it's the original Virtual Boy, then yes that was silly. If it was the Wii or the DS, sales figures would like to disagree with you harshly.Soylent Bacon said:
Anyway this is a huge gamble for Nintendo, much like the original DS was, and they know it. It's why they're announcing it as a branch-off from the DS instead of a completely new system like the orginal DS was to the Game Boy Advance. However don't be confused and say something like this:
Because this is not a new version of the DS. This is a new system that is only tangentially related to the DS. But apparently you didn't read the article.AzrealMaximillion said:
Leave it to Nintendo to jump onto a fad.
Hear me now, so I can say "I told you so" in 3-5 years.
3-D GAMING AND TV WILL NOT CATCH ON
at least not today, maybe in a couple decades we will have the technology to make amazing 3D without glasses, but it's not feasible now. Also, I think it would be a little creepy for the 3ds to track our movements in order to move perspective, it's like leaving a webcam plugged in to your computer all the time. the new DSs have wi-fi, and if it has a movement tracking camera, it's just a bit creepy.

It seems to me that Nintendo is trying to find new interfaces because they can't come up with any more innovative gameplay.
I'd take innovations WITHIN THE GAME (IE SOFTWARE) over gimmicky games that are made based around an "innovative" interface any day.
Look at games like Portal, THOSE are proper innovations, they use the interface they have, and use it only as a means of controlling the game. It serves it's purpose, but they didn't come up for the idea of Portal as a way to use some new controller. It's important that the interface have the least influence on the game as possible, it is a middle man between the player and the game, and as someone plays a game they should not be thinking about it. (For example, in an fps they should be thinking: "I need to shoot that guy" then shoot him, not "I need to wave my wiimote (or tilt my DS) in a half circle in order to shoot that guy". If they have to think about how they need to use the interface as they do it, that is a failure of the interface, it should be automatic)
Case and point, the interface caters to the game, the game should NOT be designed from the ground up as a way to use the interface. Could you imagine if movie scripts were written completely based on new ways to take advantage of a new projector?
This seems to be a big movement toward bridging the gaps between games and real life: "Want to swing your sword? Swing your wiimote like a sword!" "Want to look left? Turn your head to the left and the DS will change the perspective!" I don't play games in order to feel like I'm doing something in my own life, I play them as an ESCAPIST (see what I did there? You saw what I did there)
All those for innovative software over innovative interface (which is just a middle man) say "I"!
