Both 3D?
I'm expecting just one screen to be 3D (the bottom one) while the other could be a regular one, even not being touch enable (the top one, it's awkward to touch your DS top screen while your holding it regularly, try it for yourself)

It means a new DS. As in SUCCESSOR. Nintendo has never labelled the DSi or DSi XL as the successor to the DS. It is what the PS2 was the PS1 or what the GBA was to the GB/GBC. And it's about time. It's almost 6 years ... what did you think? That Nintendo was going to just rest on their laurels for another 2 or 3 years? Expect PSP2 this year as well. |
I s'pose you're right; even if I do disagree on the semantics.
It seems different enough to be called DS2 or some such thing. I just don't want to get there and find that it basically plays DS games in 3d.
DS2 is a lame name.
3DS is better because it incorporates the main new feature -- the 3D effect. I'm glad they went with '3DS' over 'DS2'.

both don't have to be touch screens, silly.
Just that the bottom 3d screen would also be a touch screen. Who knows, though. Maybe they didn't mean for the syncing to be both 3d. I guess a game could just not use the 3d effect for the top screen. But I'm pretty sure they made it a point to have the screens form one giant screen.

You mean LADYLOO
Prof, the thing here is that you're thinking on this wrong - being backwards compatible with the DS and DSi doesn't mean that it's jsut a feature expansion on the DS. It's not. It's a standalone piece of hardware that (hopefully) will have games where the experience of 3D renderings is integral to gameplay.
It's not going to play DS games in 3D. They're not programmed to be layered in the way that the 3DS is apparently going to display games. It's going to play DS games, sure, but it will also play games developed specifically for this console (this will be the body of games bought for it, for obvious reasons) in 3D.
I mean, it's going to have a freaking analog stick. What the Hell is that doing on a DS?
The DSi is a DSL with upgraded specs, two cameras, an SD slot, and downloadable games.
The 3DS is a DSi with upgraded specs, a 3D screen, a thumbstick, integrated rumble, an accelerometer, and who knows what else.
The really important distinction? When Nintendo says there will be 3DS-exclusive games, they really mean it.

NES -> SNES or GB -> GBA?
And as I undertand that kind of 3D in your link is already possible on DSi.
GBA is seen as a different generation to GB/GBC
Now you also probably know why there aren't many/ if any DSi-only software titles ... Nintendo never intended it to be the DS successor.
That is the 3DS, and it's now going to get all the development support.
Makes sense too because really the DS future releases list has dried up something fierce the last little while. Obviously those devs have been working on something else and now we know what it is.
Enjoy Golden Sun DS and Dragon Quest IX, those are likely to be the last big hurrahs for the current DS (had a helluva run).
