Well I hope it's only a prototype... I dunno about the 3D and stuff (probably awesome!) but the exterior design is a little... let's just say it isn't awesome.

the desing felt like the DS fat to me.
you know that they are holding something....

in fact... when this handheld gets a new revision (3DSi?) possibly we will get also a working flashcart for it (acekard3?)
so... hold your money and wait!!!

offtopic: gbatemp staff... where is the icon for the 3DS?? hahahaha

Joystick looks a bit weird, don't know how it will feel.

Also, I really doubt that 3D effect being good and cool, I just can't imagine it working well. It seems like a gimmick. I wonder, can we see the 3D effect on a regular Youtube video on a regular screen?
You probably have to have one in your hands to see the 3D effect, so I'll have to wait till they put out a testing pod in my local gamestore.

Don't know about this one, the 3D feature sounds awesome, but I have serious doubts about the execution.
Hopefully we get some specs soon, graphics on some games looked good, but hopefully games that come out in a few years make better use of the power of this baby.

According to the latest rumors, the 3ds could let you copy games to its internal memory, so you wont have to carry around game cartridges.
Also, they said that the design is pretty much final, so I would actually take this to mean that they are starting production, and we might actually see this thing on shelves before the end of the year.

What is the point in a 3DSi when it already has 3 cameras?


QUOTE(popoffka @ Jun 16 2010, 12:15 PM) I will definitely buy this on launch.
Most likely, I will even buy it on US launch, even though I am here in EU, because it will probably take ages for it to arrive here.
Does anyone know if it will be possible to pre-order it online? International shipping isn't necessary, I can use an US mail forwarder.
Europe seem to be getting the consoles before America now.

He simply means a redesign, not more cameras

So then it would've been better to say 3DS Lite or something along those lines.

It's funny how the camera is the feature of the DSi that's focused on as being "new", despite it's doubled clockspeed and 4x the amount of RAM that the Phat/Lite had. But I suppose, being a useless piece of crap, those things were never actually made use of... whereas that amazing camera was used.

They can call it whatever they want... adding an "i" doesn't automatically mean "cameras", just because that's what it was for the DSi. No more than the placement of an "i" before a product name necessarily means that only posers and hipster douchebags should buy it (although that's certainly been the case so far).

I was basically never really hyped for any console, apart from the little amount of anticipation for the release of the wii (you know, when they still advertised the motion controls as 1:1 and stuff), but the 3DS just totally blew me away.
Although my spidey sense tell me not to buy it ASAP, because it's always a better idea to wait for the first few real owner reviews , I still have to get it on its street date, even if I have to import it

[*]Its awesome and I want it now[*]If this can be unlocked then the earliest models will have the least amount of trouble

Not really since
-the DS lite is a flimsy piece of crap
-DSi actually had more additional features than just the camera, so it was actually an improvement over the phat (which is where lite kinda failed.)

All the working 3DS on the E3 floor were prototypes just to show off the 3D. Their bottom screens don't even work yet.

The final product may be a tiny bit different on the outside.

Personally I don't care much for the prototype design.

When I close my DSLite, its almost like a perfect brick. The 3DS doesn't appear to be like that. It looks wierd and awkward like the original DS.
2nd is the analog stick looks in an awkward position with the D pad and is a tiny bit on the big side. Like the D-pad isn't even needed.
But I can see it coming into play with OoT
