Nintendo 3DS smuggled off a Chinese assembly line

[wiiluver135]

Nintendo wouldn't have a flash cart in the pics.

that's what they want you to think!
they have flashcards at headquarters...HOW DO YOU THINK THEY WERE ABLE TO BLOCK 'EM WITH THAT UPDATE?
BY BETA-TESTING WITH AS REAL FLASHCARD!
In theory they used this pic of a game with a flashcard in it to fool us even more into thinking that this is real...very smart on their end....
I'll only believe this story is real when I see an early 3DS flashcard in the works...like in February or early March. That should have given them enough time to see what makes the system tick.

The system he has doesn't have the firmware flashed onto it. Therefore we won't know how to develop a flashcard for it.

Everybody are waiting for Nintendo 3DS released. So, was this only one pre-sales promotion by Nintendo?

Like iphone girl released years ago, it is only promotion for iphone.

Then this time, this man who steal this half-finished console do promotion jobs for Nintendo 3DS.

How can one console steal so easy from a factory?

What will their company do once finding the someone let go of this new console?

What do you guys think?

I prefer to think this is only one promotion.

Are you really Amrican ?

 

[Fear Zoa]

why does everyone assume it was easy to do.....for all we know this could have took weeks of planing and required the use of smokebombs....okay I doubt it ....but I also doubt it was easy

Isn't that question a bit unnecessary? I mean, so what if he isn't? He's still a 'Temper and a person.

Anyone know what the CTR stands for? Ninty has a long history of shortening the prototype name into the "Product code" like RVL for Wii before it was known as the Revolution and the DS used NTR which was short for Nitro, GCN had DOL for Dolphin, etc etc.

Most people assume it stands for Control, but it's unknown the exact Prototype name.


CenTeR?

CounTeR?

CenTauR?

lol

Its Century
Because Nintendo is over 100 years old..

?!?!?!
A Yay3ds?!?

TWL is twilight afaik

Nope, it's Twelve.

Yes that's a boring name. The DSi was project #12 that specific team worked on.

Hmm... interesting. Then what is UTL (DSi XL)?

Utility..I guess

I don't want it to get hacked..YET.

like the PSP once it got hacked...

all the developers started to pull out....

we might see some really anticipated titles get delayed or postponed "indefinitely" only to turn into vaporware

right!
THAT WAS WHAT I was Saying..
but they accused me of trolling!!

I was noticing something about this picture..

We can see we got the charger port which seems to be the same as the DSi's charger, We got the cartridge port (Duh... what's the point of a game console that can't play games?..), What are those other two ports to the right of it though? I would assume they made the poor decision to move the stylus there since I didn't see it in any of the other pics.. But what's that other one? Looks like a USB port

It might be a USB port so you can transfer your photos to the computer
(or maybe its just for the devs 3ds)

-----A USB port would mean {{{HACKING POSSIBLITY}}}-----

 

[Trollology]

Holy crap, TechnoWorm.
How many billion posts did you put up there? It looks stupid. Please use the edit button

This dude is cool

Who'd have the guts to freakin' steal one from the factory?

About the video, what ON EARTH does the 3DS show when it's turned on?

 

[N-TG]

Because I think 3DS has a MicroSD port, maybe that is possible for the use of pictures only. Adding a USB Port without any mean (not announced yet, it could be alternative accesories like a mic or something like that) it would mean an easier way to crack it.

Maybe because it's a dev 3DS it would be a USB Port that won't be included in the normal ones and the reason to add it is for testing the games easier? (By not having to made a cart for each change they made and just by having raw data transfer?)

Also how many posts you made?

I'm pretty sure it's an IR sensor. Which could mean...
Gold/Silver/Crystal on 3DS Virtual Console WITH Mystery Gift!

 

[raulpica]

It's an IR sensor. You can see it covered by a small plastic patch in other pictures, which is usually used to cover IR sensors on brand new products. And btw, I'm pretty sure there was also one on dev-boards.

Infrared.
The circular hole is for the telescopic stylus.
And the hole on the left of the picture is for charging.

Given that the battery is so close to the bottom of the 3ds, could the base introduce inductive charging?

I think that would explain the charging station seen here:

who said it was easy?
it might have been that others also tried but got caught (ofc something like that won't reach the news)
and that this worker got lucky, or planned this for months

 

[default2k]

I hope this is already in the hands of Supercard or Team Cyclops, so we can get a "solution" so to speak

Why would someone smuggle a 3DS and simply give it to someone else?
Besides, if it came off of the assembly line there's probably no firmware on it.

 

[Mantis41]

No vid yet of this thing in menu or running a game. I'm guessing this guy can't get it working.

 

[Uthuriel]

The question is how on Earth did he fit it up his anus?

dude you really made my day

 

[Jamstruth]

As has been said multiple times in this topic: It likely doesn't have any firmware flashed to it yet.

 

[dicamarques]

Did everyone noticed something odd on the pic that has all the consoles powered on

Spoiler

?
Look closely to the red dsi, it says ique dsi?

Did that chinese hacked a dsi??
