Any updates on the flashcart scene. I wish there was concrete proof the carts can you let you play back your ds games in stretched mode, I hate black bars.

Oh boy lol: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iMxRGCyGRho

What are the SFIV lag impressions?

 

[donkey show]

What are the SFIV lag impressions?

It's just like the console versions, it's all dependent on the connection. I've had buttery smooth and laggy matches (all with JP folk).

 

[dallow_bg]

From those same guys.

Watch from 1:05.

[Luigiv]

This is what decades of exposure to anime have done to the Japanese.

Anime makes Japanese people turn Chinese? They won't be happy with that. :S

 

[C.Dark.DN]

they are Chinese?

Oh you guys.

And yeah, they're definitely not Japanese.

just keep your DS

 

[Stephen Colbert]

i hope the redesign is totally mad and sleek like the ds lite was

like if the entirety of the top bit is taken up by the widescreenw ith the res of the stuff on the bottom. and spaced out controls

Spoiler

and no region locking

God yes. That would be sweet. Make it look just like the DSi but with the top screen taking up the entire top part. Get rid of the three different colors on each system scheme, add a colored slidepad and no region locking.

If they make the top screen bigger, it would make renting and watching 3d movies on it actually worthwhile too. There's no way I would rent a 3d movie to watch on a 3.5 inch screen, but a 4.5 inch top screen like the DSi XL or a 5 inch screen like the NGP, now we're talking.

 

[dallow_bg]

This video is actually pretty nice in showing off the Nintendogs and AR stuff.

Of course they put them on their crotches as well.
Towards the end there's also a poster sized card too.

[Cosmo Clock 21]

They might be Taiwanese, actually.

 

[Luigiv]

they are Chinese?

Well they're speaking in Cantonese, which means they're either from Honk Kong or Singapore and most likely ethnically Chinese.

 

[Jintor]

*head explodes* A grid based strategy RPG would be awesome on the 3DS.

S-S-S-Shadow Wars?!?

I'd say the chances of that are pretty much nil. Because they've only broken DS protection, not 3DS, so all they can do right now is make the system think a DS game is in the slot. To do anything specific to the 3DS, they'd have to have native access to the 3DS hardware.

Heh, well that was quite silly of me, wasn't it.

Maybe I'm seeing things, but does it look like the dog can recognize when there a person nearby? It seems to act differently, almost acknowledging that he's there.

 

[neo2046]

they are Chinese?

Chinese in Hong Kong

Hey J-GAF, what's the third box for and these options on the bottom.. Location?

[Dreamwriter]

http://i.imgur.com/e8uFN.jpg

I can tell you that your chosen third option is "Japan"...

 

[Necromanti]

I can tell you that your chosen third option is "Japan"...

Yeah, the third item on the top screen (under 3/7) is Japan. The 2nd option on the bottom screen (the one under the one highlighted) says Tokyo something. That's all I know. ;p

EDIT: The one under that says Hokkaido...

 

[345triangle]

yeah it just says location information, and the bottom screen options are all prefectures (hokkaido, aomori and tokyo, with a "don't set" option at the top).

 

[Rich!]

Because of course, a hideously stretched image is better than one in the correct aspect ratio.

 

[VOOK]

Haha well might as well set my option as that then.

 

[Cheesemeister]

yeah it just says location information, and the bottom screen options are all prefectures (hokkaido, aomori and tokyo, with a "don't set" option at the top).

In order from top to bottom, it's no setting, Tokyo, Hokkaido, and Aomori. More prefectures are listed as you scroll down. There's no option to select a location outside of Japan, which is silly.

 

[Gamer @ Heart]

So it has 2GB in the system itself with an added 2GB provided by the DS correct? Any estimate how much of that 2GB is reserved for the OS?

 

[- J - D -]

Hmmmm, I like this idea. They'd have to increase the resolution though with a bump in power to enable that. I know a lot of you loved the DSi XL, but I couldn't get over the disparity between the screen size and the low resolution.

 

[345triangle]

on the SFIV static background issue, the only time i think it's jarring is on the africa stage where there is a huge hippo in the foreground just standing there motionless with its mouth open :/

anyone know if DOA has that awesome dinosaur stage from DOA4? if so, i'm not sure SF really has an excuse...

 

[345triangle]

i don't think it's 2GB internal memory; when you use the camera with the SD card selected as storage medium you can save 3000 photos, but take it out and the counter changes to 300, which would suggest 256mb like the DSi.

Or 512, seeing as each photo now takes twice the data.

Boo. If thats the reality, then the eShop update better be able to run software off the SD card.

That was already confirmed

DOA runs at half framerate in 3D while SSFIV doesn't, so they can't be compared.

Praise be, lord.

You have to be careful how you handle the Miis you meet via StreetPass.

I wish I saw your message earlier, I just "lost" the 2 miis I got from street pass I went back to the menu without using their help in the mini-rpg.

Well I've BEEN to Tokyo, that'll have to do

Can't decide if the new Super Nes or the new Dreamcast. Either way it will be Nintendo's best machine in years, and it will offer unique titles as in the Dreamcast golden age. Don't know what it will mean with sales, but it's oh so exciting.

It's the new Atari 2600 - it will be a ginormously huge hit, make Nintendo a shit-load of cash...and then in 6 years or so take the entire game industry down with its fall. In 10 years you'll be able to find 3DS's at garage sales for $10, and the games for $.50 each.

 

[EmCeeGramr]

3D GameRoom will be hyped as the next big thing for Xbox MindNet, and Jeff Gerstmann will download every single game and cry himself to sleep.

Does the 3DS have one or two ARM cores?

 

[Emitan]

Does the 3DS have one or two ARM cores?

2 single core ARMs

 

[Izayoi]

2 single core ARMs

Did we ever get images of the silicon itself? None of the ones I've seen have pried off the cart slot.

We still don't know exact specs, right?

 

[Little Green Yoda]

I really haven't been keeping up with the 3DS news and didn't know what this "AR" stuff people were talking about earlier. Those videos were a pleasant surprise.

 

[antonz]

We have pictures of the processor and gpu itself but it doesnt say anything that can reveal anything.

Are people saying that the 3DS has an option to display DS games at 1:1 pixel resolution? This thread is kind of big&fast, so I'm having trouble finding direct confirmation of this, but I see a few indirect mentions.

Yup, it can. Does so by pressing start and select together, apparently.

 

[Gravijah]

Is it sad that I'm staying up late just to check out VOOK's pics?

 

[Cheesemeister]

Yup, it can. Does so by pressing start and select together, apparently.

It's in the FAQ in the OP.
