Or can they make just half of the underlaying screen tough reactive? --- End quote --- http://www.gonintendo.com/?mode=viewstory&id=210991 Well that's the little article I read. Again, I don't really know that site so I can't say how accurate they are. --- End quote --- The very fact that the article contains this... "This means the entire screen is by necessity a touchscreen, with the upper screen protected by a layer of plastic that sits above it." pretty much kills any credibility. The LCD isn't what makes it a touch screen, but rather the "digitizer" on top of it (considering that Nintendo is still using that method, which would make a lot of sense seeing as it's the cheaper method). The digitizer would only need to be as big as the lower portion of the LCD (assuming it's one big LCD). |

Price drop of all Wii U consoles is a boon for me. I've been saving up for one, and I'll be happy if I can get it for cheaper now. But even with how awesome the Zelda GamePad is, I think I'll skip it this time, no matter how nice it'll look next to my Zelda 3DS. Wind Waker HD being a digital download is the deal-breaker for me. I'll cast another vote for the 2DS being pointless in my eyes, but that's really only because I have a 3DS already and actually LIKE using the 3D features. But this iteration isn't for me. It's for everyone that bitched and complained about having to pay for 3D when they were going to turn it off anyway. However, it's also for parents concerned about their kids developing eye problems, and that's understandable. But if there's anyone that complains about this thing not having a hinged design, then suck it up and get a proper 3DS if that's such a big deal to you, and just physically turn the 3D off. It's not hinged to help Nintendo cut costs, and it's also not hinged so that you'll be able to tell at a glance whether a person is playing a 3DS or a 2DS. |

For me this opens up two questions: Won't the screens be very prone to scratching as you can't close the device anymore to protect them? Won't be some games half as good as they use the 3D mode to offer advanced gameplay? |
| AxelSteelBMX:
1) I have to assume yes. They'll be offering a satchel to carry it in for protection, but that costs an extra $13. 2) Yes. But if you were someone who blasted the 3D as "useless" because you didn't like it, then by design EVERY 3DS game will be half as good. Also, it's interesting to note that the 2DS still has two cameras facing outward like the 3DS. I'm guessing that has to do with its motion-tracking capabilities, though. Probably still needs 2 cameras to properly track AR Cards, too. |
| Nacho3:
Very few games actually had 3D required to play (a few spots in Super Mario 3D Land come to mind) so I don't think that will be a problem. As for the two cameras, it is going to be used for AR games and you can still take 3D pictures, they just won't be able to be displayed in 3D unless you plug the SD card into a 3DS. The biggest downside I see is actually only one speaker so mono sound unless you plug in headphones. ??? |
