Forums - Nintendo - Wii U GamePad Can Display 3D!

Another uninformed rep spouting bullshit that gets people excited for no reason.



Ongoing bet with think-man: He wins if MH4 releases in any shape or form on PSV in 2013, I win if it doesn't.

Around the Network

If it's really true (which in my opinion would be absolutely incredible!), then I'd guess the display in the WiiU controller supports passive 3D, like for example my PC monitor does. The additional manufacturing costs wouldn't be that high.

On the other hand, since it contains an infrared LED anyway, the WiiU controller should be perfectly capable of controlling standard shutter glasses as well. It would work, without any additional cost - the 3D experience just wouldn't be very enjoyable because of flicker if the builtin screen isn't capable of high frame rates, as JoeTheBro already pointed out. But it would work, even with "only" 120Hz. Wikipedia for example mentions 100Hz as practical minimum value for active shutter technology.



^The poster above the original post obviously. Why are you even quoting me?



^I've been busy, and not having lilbroex sucks. I'll probably leave for a while once WiiU releases.



Whats capable and what is fun is why people rejected motion/waggle controls in favor of more precise gameplay options with traditional dual analog controls.
