The bomb was dropped already son, it happened when Nintendo won E3 2010.



“When we make some new announcement and if there is no positive initial reaction from the market, I try to think of it as a good sign because that can be interpreted as people reacting to something groundbreaking. ...if the employees were always minding themselves to do whatever the market is requiring at any moment, and if they were always focusing on something we can sell right now for the short term, it would be very limiting. We are trying to think outside the box.” - Satoru Iwata - This is why corporate multinationals will never truly understand, or risk doing, what Nintendo does.

Yeah but i think they can drop it again with a good price point and a november release date.

I only posted this because I am interested in what is powering this, It really doesn’t matter what the CPU is. I will be buying 4 of these things regardless of that. I just like to find information on this since Nintendo is so tight lipped on what is running inside their hardware and thought others might be curious as well.



Albion - Its Fun as Ballz !!!!!

I doubt it, I see no reason nintendo would drop arm architecture considering the 3ds is supposed to have ds back compatibility and it would be strange to have the ds complete hardware on board

I'm certain the 3ds is going to use newer ARM processors in a similar configuration to the DS



I HAVE A DOUBLE DRAGON CAB IN MY KITCHEN!!!!!!

If the CPU really didn't matter, we never would have moved beyond the Atari 2600.

I care about the CPU of game systems, because it does matter.

Well, they could always have software emulation, 3DS is definitely powerful enough for software emulation. And it is already confirmed that 3DS won't have similar GPU. 3DS will use DMP's PICA200 as GPU (DMP announced this at least 1 month ago), not ARM. That doesn't mean that CPU won't be ARM, though.

Ah, reminds me of these Revolution teaser images:

 

 

 

random old link I found. You will find it funny if you have been around this site as long as I have: http://www.1up.com/do/club?Dispatch=Display&clubid=86640

 

I can't find the other Metroid Prime 3 photoshop I was looking for. But it was of Samus in Morph Ball mode splashing through a puddle of water with vines coming up out of some white glowy hole thing on the left side of the image.

Although the Atari 2600 didn't display the amazing 3D projected graphics on a portable gaming system that were seen at E3. It doesn't matter what the CPU is because we already know what we are getting via the visual proof we received at E3 this year.
