I think i can see the analog stick in this pic ...

I think I can see it too... you mean the white circle just a little on the left, below the second screen? It would make sense...those little black dots below the screen looks a lot like the current DS button arrangment.

Yep ... i spotted some more elements take a look at my post ...

Te screens are not of the same size and just one is 3D enabled?

Plus, the widescreen may be the upper one, which means the 3D screen won't be touchable.

How come will the in-game action migrate from the upper to the lower screen if their are not of the same aspect ratio?

Color me hugely hyped down about 3DS.

I think we must wait and see, i think both screens are 3D enable , but i dont think both screens must be the same size, the only thing that will (not) happen is a game where the action changes from one screen to the other , and also this is a prototype only...

So, can anyone of those processors be identifyed as that Tegra processor that was leaked long ago?



I LOVE ICELAND!

In an Iwata interview about the 3DS, it was strongly hinted that it will be able to produce high end games, which tells me that the NVIDIA TEGRA 2 rumors are indeed true.

Also, this is a prototype. E3 is not that long to find out about this. I'm just so hyped up.

I'm trying to sift out if one of them is similar to the existing ARM processors.

hmmm, looks like an interesting board. I wonder how they are going to fit it into the size of a DS :P

There will be no Tegra in the 3DS. I don't know why this thought persists. The Tegra is a contradiction to Nintendo's design philosophy.

A Tegra chip would increase the cost a lot more.
A Tegra chip would remove BC.
The DS will only be apx a DSi with 2 DSi GPU + GPUMemory and maybe some extra touches.



Squilliam: On Vgcharts its a commonly accepted practice to twist the bounds of plausibility in order to support your argument or agenda so I think its pretty cool that this gives me the precedent to say whatever I damn well please.

If the 3DS or whatever is backwards compatible with the DS, two launch titles will already give it the best handheld library of all time lol

I've actually heard the opposite.

It's essentially 3 chips in one and since it still has an arm processor, it's still compatable with old DS games.

looks like an odd arrangement, but some hints like the analgo stick port
