That is the Gameboy from two dimensions over, where the DS flopped. Someone brought it through the Infinity.

antonz said:They mention It is a 16:9 Screen that is 6" and has an unusual resolution thats in the 800x500 range which is less than 720P and currently it is single touch. Tentative date for launch told to developers is June 2012 and that design decisions can change between now and then.
Worth mentioning as I pointed out in the old thread. Many GPS devices use a 6" Touchscreen that is 800x480 resolution. Good be a very good candidate for screen type.

Pimpbaa said:You were excited for a system that used recycled Gamecube hardware and a controller that looked like a tv remote?

Nintendo have seen the way things are going in Japan and are probably trying to get the jump on the competition in starting the handheld/console convergence.myDingling said:I think it's pretty clear that Nintendo is trying to blur the line between console/portable. Tablet screen, Project Cafe, potentially being called "Stream"...looks like they're going for the whole portable wonder machine. Seems more like a PSP2 competitor than an Xbox/PS3 rival.
The crazy thing is...why would they push thing angle when they already have the DS line on the market. Short of having some batshit crazy awesome connectivity features between the two, I'm very confused by their approach. I guess E3 will reveal all...

3DS was announced out of the blue. There wasn't a conference for it, just a note.Dissonance said:3DS was announced at this conference last year.
Though I don't remember if the 3DS had any leaks or stuff before the fact.
DreD said:Should be similar and very inspired by the UDraw Tablet, but with analog sticks and triggers on each side (as well as a control pad and face buttons).
If each player has their own screen there is even less of a reason for Nintendo to cap the number of connectable controllers to four.AstroLad said:Yup, Nintendo have always been the kings of local multi. And it's even more pronounced now that the other systems are outright pathetic when it comes to local multi.
Put me down for a system and four controllers day one. Loves me some local multi.
A streaming story
IGN also wrote about the console design, describing it like a futuristic SNES. Our sources are not able to give us information on this topic, since most prototypes received by developers aren't boxed in a custom enclosure. IGN also said that Nintendo was thinking about calling it the Stream. Once again, our sources are not able to confirm nor deny it, but we think the idea behind the name is plausible and clever (except for its urinal connotation, similar to the Wii, which makes laugh most of the anglophone community). Streaming is actually a central feature that makes Project Café interesting. The console will be able to wirelessly broadcast different kinds of streams (audio, video, games) to controllers. This means that it could be possible to play without the need of a TV set, or to first start a game on your big screen, and then pursuing the same game with the controller, on your way to the bathroom. A real revolution!
I have a bunch of Buzz controllers and that game sucks so yeah maybe hahah.Dance In My Blood said:If each player has their own screen there is even less of a reason for Nintendo to cap the number of connectable controllers to four.
You're going to buy 8+ controllers and you're going to like it.

Let's have a mario-kart party. I got koopa. 11 others can come over, but BYOB!!
Yeah, Nintendo can just put out a press release like they did last year for the 3DS.Serenade said:3DS was announced out of the blue. There wasn't a conference for it, just a note.

Pretty positive being able to stream home console games from the controller is pretty fucking bigDoor2Dawn said:This thing will fail. They have completely lost sight of what made the Wii so successful.
Ugh, that just sounds like a bunch of stuff devs won't utilize. :/guldakot said:Play calling in Madden.
Rear view mirror in racing games.
Overworld map for RPGS.
Map with interactivity for FPS (You could just look down and call in an airstrike on a specific spot of the map in say COD:MW)
Cell phone in GTA.
When playing a fps, hold the controller up and use it as a sniper scope (think silent scope in the arcade)
Inventory management for various games.
Special items in mario cart, so the other players do not know if you got a blue shell
Hidden character selection in fighting games.
Touch screen scrolling for netflix.
Games like FF CC where GBA hookup made the game SO much better because of the use of the GBA screen.
Video chat for online play (Yeah I know, Its Nintendo afterall )
RTS games would finally be playable on console, using the touch screen as not only an overhead map but being able to actually lasso groups of units like using a mouse.
I personally see alot of possible functionality for a screen on a controller, but somehow I feel its gonna be used for nothing more then simple stats or a screen saver
Really? It honestly doesn't sound all that impressive to me.Big One said:Pretty positive being able to stream home console games from the controller is pretty fucking big
