Nintendo 3DS

The Kotaku Article

At E3, Nintendo will be introducing new hardware, the Nintendo 3DS.

In an official release, Nintendo describes the portable as allowing games to be "enjoyed with 3D effects without the need for any special glasses". According to Nintendo, the product will go on sale between April 2010 and March 2011.

The Nintendo 3DS will succeeded the Nintendo DS series and will have backward compatibility for Nintendo DS and DSi games.

In early January, Nintendo President Satoru Iwata gave an interview with Japan's second largest newspaper The Asahi Shimbun in which he apparently said the Nintendo DS successor will have "highly detailed graphics, and it will be necessary to have a sensor with the ability to read the movements of people playing".

Nintendo of America later told Kotaku that the Asahi Shimbun had "misinterpreted" Iwata's remarks. "Mr. Iwata did not make any comments regarding the functions of Nintendo's future hardware systems," Charlie Scibetta, Nintendo of America's senior director of corporate communications told Kotaku. "The answer to the reporter's question was misinterpreted."

The Asahi Shimbun stands by its reporting and issued a statement to Kotaku Japan that read: "The article quoted Nintendo President Satoru Iwata's comment accurately." The actual quote in the article is a fragment of a longer sentence.

At a Nintendo quarterly Q&A, the exec addressed the issue with the Asahi Shimbun, asserting that the reporter stated, "The graphics for the next DS will be highly detailed and it will contain a motion sensor, right?" Iwata claims he then replied, "Those things are naturally being required. But do you think it would sell with just that?" Iwata emphasized that this last part was left completely out.

It appears that the extra element Nintendo believed was necessary to really sell the DS successor is 3D.

Regarding 3D, Nintendo president Satoru Iwata has previously stated that Nintendo would need to look into the "possible health effects" of playing video games in 3D for prolonged periods of time.

maybe I'm seeing conspiracy everywhere but I think the 1st journalist didn't quote wrong but the denial by nintendo is more of a way to correct iwata's mistake (revealing some of the the 3DS features) by blaming a sort of "misunderstanding". btw I'm so gonna get this =P

Yeah, pretty much.

The 3DS would be likely to be sporting first-Wii graphics, since I'm willing to bet that the next Wii will come with PS3/Xbox 360 graphics, or at least better graphics.

Anyway, what kind of things do you think they could do with the motion sensor? Any ideas, people?

Two screens were revolutionary enough as is when the DS came out...they make for epic gameplay, but three? Unlikely...

And yeah, I'm wondering what else the motion sensor can do. (Besides from the obvious stuff on WarioWare)

It's a motion sensor. It senses motion. It'll likely be based on an accelerometer to sense how fast the DS is moving and in which direction and a gyroscopic detection system (if someone knows what this is called, please enlighten me) to detect the orientation of the DS.

Not much to wonder about.

Man, 2010 is the year of 3D. I mean, 3D televisions, 3D books, and now 3D gaming systems.

I was talking about the kind of actions done in-game, Matt.

And I agree, Apache. There's been a lot of 3D lately.
