boobless Posted January 25, 2004 Share Posted January 25, 2004 In an article covering the recent Consumer Electronics Show, our own Darren Gladstone discovers what may be a secret component of the system: a 3D display. The article reveals that Nintendo has been in discussions with Sharp to possibly use its 3D display technology in a future portable system. In this ExtremeTech article on Sharp's 3D display technology, a Sharp employee explains how two TFT LCD screens (the same type of screens Nintendo announced for the DS) can work together to create a 3D view. http://www.gmrmagazine.com/article2/0,4364,1457657,00.asp Nintendo Co., Ltd. is indeed listed in the Sharp3D consumer list. http://www.sharp3d.com/3d_display_technolo...ium/thelist.asp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matt74441 Posted January 25, 2004 Share Posted January 25, 2004 That would be kind of neat, but I wouldn't be able to use it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

El Flaco Posted January 25, 2004 Share Posted January 25, 2004 It would burn our eyes after playing a couple of minutes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LordHatrus Posted January 25, 2004 Share Posted January 25, 2004 Yeah, but It'll be like the first LCD panels - Move your head 5 degrees, and the colors are all weird. The person looking over your shoulder, can't see a thing.... Arghh really don't like the narrow view range... but other than that, It would be cool. More of a toy than a vid game system, but that's what nintendo does! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HellBender Posted January 25, 2004 Share Posted January 25, 2004 That would be really cool at first, but it would become a pain to use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boobless Posted January 25, 2004 Author Share Posted January 25, 2004 Though if DS really did use this kind of 3d tech Nintendo would've probably mentioned about it in their PR, we'll see what happens at e3 I guess. :unsure: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blurb Posted January 25, 2004 Share Posted January 25, 2004 Sounds like poo...and a pain in the eye. I can't see my GBA as it is...stupid Nintendo... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnO Posted January 25, 2004 Share Posted January 25, 2004 It would cost a buttload to produce plus some games work good 2D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matt74441 Posted January 25, 2004 Share Posted January 25, 2004 I don't know how much fun it would be to look at a 3D image being produced by two 3 inch screens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ivand Posted January 25, 2004 Share Posted January 25, 2004 Its gonna have an small nuclear power plant too? i think its gonna consume a battery per minute Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matt74441 Posted January 25, 2004 Share Posted January 25, 2004 Its gonna have an small nuclear power plant too? i think its gonna consume a battery per minute This sounds like its going to fail worst than the Game Gear. Sure its got a cool gimmick, "Wow, its 3D!!!" But that won't last long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blurb Posted January 25, 2004 Share Posted January 25, 2004 And I don't think the backwards compatibility that Nintendo always hangs onto would work here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ayepecks Posted January 25, 2004 Share Posted January 25, 2004 For some reason I doubt it, since it said that there would be two screens for separate views (not for one 3D view). Possibly, but it's unlikely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nazgul Posted January 25, 2004 Share Posted January 25, 2004 Still think this thing is gonna bomb, just like the Virtual Boy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LordHatrus Posted January 25, 2004 Share Posted January 25, 2004 Yerp. Virtual Boy... Wonderswan... WHERE ARE THEY NOW?!??? Anyway, It might win like the technology award or whatever at E3, but I hope I'll never switch to 3 inches 3d.... Now, once the monitor companies finish the LCDs that do 3D, that will be cool (Yes, I know there are some already, but I'm talking about the practical ones they plan on shelling out to NORMAL consumers, not Bill Gates,,,,,) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
