DKR DS was crap. Seriously, why did they nerf Taj's voice? That was one of the better parts of dkr

I'm probably the only person out there who prefers SM64DS to the original.
Bar a few flaws, it was a pretty solid game, imo.

I don't know what killed it for me, but I immensely prefer SM64 to SM64DS. I'd still happily play it though

Controls maybe? Which is funny since NOW we have a proper analog input.

Nah, the D-Pad never bothered me. I'd be willing to bet that if I picked up another DS and another copy of SM64DS, I'd probably love it again

I thought the physics felt off, and they changed some of the later levels, making some too easy (Tick Tock Clock) and others impossible (Tall Tall Mountain). I mean, at the end of TTM's slide there's now a barrier preventing you from getting back to the main area. So to get 100 coins the last one has to be collected ON the slide, instead of outside, which means WHOOOSH, byebye star as you slide right on past.

I'll be first in line three days in advance. At the Nintendo World Store.


I don't get it

I'm guessing this is kinda pointless considering it's just based on the GPU, but it is fun to imagine:

Yeah, thats a video used to benchmark the GPU that is inside the 3DS, not necessarily the 3DS itself. But still an impressive little piece of hardware. Generating 15.3 mil polygons at 200mhz. Most impressive.

Except the PSP can generate 33 million at 166MHz.

Anyways, March 2011 is the date for it. Tax season.

There are numbers flying all around, the PICA200 has multiple versions and we don't know what they're using yet. The ones we've seen floating around are speculation from someone who picked one of the lower end versions.

Edit: For instance, from Siliconera; "Can be clocked to a maximum of 400 MHz, effectively doubling fillrate and vertex performance. A hardware test at HCW reckons this will likely be the case."

Nintendo made a teaser commercial for it although I can't find the video... It said 20000 Yen. I think that would be 200, but a currency converter told me around 220$

I've heard investor estimates of 200-300.

The only thing is that the cost for developing games on the 3DS versus the Wii will no doubt be more expensive, given the technology. It's very possible that the 3DS will be more expensive than the Wii because of that. If it isn't, they'll likely be selling the 3DS at cost or below cost like the PS3 did with their console for a long time.

I would very well imagine that the 3D feature could be toggled on and off, as well as made semiautomatic. The GPU already knows where the polygons are in 3D space, after all. Making it software-based would be a catastrophe.

But this is Nintendo we're talking about. They haven't exactly shown a lot of skill in the system software design department. strcmp, anyone?
