| Xenostar said: Easily 2012, one thing Nintendo has learnt from Apple its to iterate hardware every year where possible, they have a great chance to improve the battery life and release a new version next year and im sure they will take it, i also expect future versions to include better 3D screens if the technology improves in anyway. Not to mention an XL version. They may take a year out if they are releasing a Wii2. |
New 3D tech would require a new generation of systems, as the games would have to be redone to fit that new tech.
The 3D tech in the 3DS is not something that can't be improved upon; standard screens essentially have 100% of the pixels aiming light forward. The 3DS uses special technology on its 800 pixel wide screen where essentially every even pixel directs light to the right eye, and nothing to the left eye; and every odd pixel directs light to the left eye without directing any to the right eye. Effectively, each eye views a different screen showing a scene from a slightly different perspective. It is also why this tech will only work on small screens, and will become somewhat difficult the larger the screen. For example, the iPad would struggle with this tech, and a TV certainly wouldn't be able to use it.
I describe myself as a little dose of toxic masculinity.
