First Impressions Of The Nintendo 3DS: 3D Done Right
I found this article on TechCrunch, and its about the new Nintendo 3DS. The article says this new DS has a lot of potential because the various new features it has. One of the new features is the “suspend mode” for games that allows you to drop into Nintendo’s communication and photo interface to take pictures and send notes." The communication and photo interface features are similar to those of the iPod touch. Many people wondered what the quality of the 3D was going to be like, and it seems that "the 3D play is immersive and exciting. It is, in short, revolutionary." One of the other features is "a pedometer as well as a unique StreetPass system that lets the 3DS interact with other consoles as you walk by them in the street." You can also take 3D photos with the dual front camera thats on the DS. However, there are some concerns such as the "3D may be too much for little eyes" and it may cause eye-strain.
I chose this article because I think the new 3D technology is interesting, and I grew up playing on Nintendo's GameBoy. This new Nintendo 3DS is just another advance in the 3D world, and it is creating competition for the iPod touch. With the invention of this new DS, "Nintendo has changed the landscape when it comes to handheld gaming."
