Forums - Nintendo - Think any developers will make a 3ds game without 3d?

Looking at the RE 3ds games the model and texture work are pretty impressive. 3d will be enabled with those kind of graphics so wouldn't the 3ds have the ability to have better textures or a higher polycount on models with the 3d totally disabled.

Like how some wii games ignore the motion controls will there be developers that ignore the 3d and focus purely on texture and polycount?

It depends. Nintendo could force developers to include it in every game, which wouldn't be very surprising at all.


If they do not do that, then of course we will. Not every game uses the touchscreen for the DS.

Why would that not be very surprising? They didn't do it for the DS( touch screen) or for the wii(motion controls) so i would be very surprised if it came down to that



I am a nintendo fan, not a nintendo fanboy

You must live in a twisted world.

Anyway, on topic: There will of course be developers who will make 3DS games that won't support 3D, but not in the way laid out in the original post. Every game that uses polygons should come in 3D, the games that won't use 3D will be bitmap and sprite based.


Why should they have to be in 3d? I want to see how much better a game could look if it uses all of the 3ds' power on models and not 3d. It could look almost as good as the ngp



3D is not in the TRC so it's all up to the developers.

Using 3D is not mandatory.

screen size kind of limits how impressive the image can be.... so the benefits will be minimal.

Everything looks more impressive in 3D, so if a developer wants to impress people with graphics, the game is going to be in 3D.


i presonnaly agree with this. i'd trade textures for 3d anyday on my pc... if games were more demanding ^^.

The 3D is the big attraction for the handheld. It's natural to want the first wave of games to all have 3D. Especially for the good intial word of mouth that Nintendo wants. I don't expect them to (and they aren't as the link was posted later), but I said I wouldn't be surprised.

I'll say it again.  It is not part of the TRC.  So it is up to developers.
