Nintendo 3DS is rushed into spotlight by Nintendo at E3

The Nintendo 3DS is exactly that: a 3D, Nintendo DSi. It is the only device on the planet that can display full 3D images without those nerdy 3D glasses. The 3.5″ 3D display allows for users to change the effectiveness of the 3D graphics, and can turn it on, off, or somewhere between that (middle on, middle off?). Otherwise the 3DS also has two cameras instead of one on the outer shell which allows for 3D image taking (yes, you read that), and one extra camera (making it three) on the inside, so you can your face (ugly or beautiful). Then there’s the gyropscope, motion sensor, and Wi-Fi connectivity that sniffs out free connections and gets on the network without your telling it to. Sounds like a Dilbert fantasy if you ask us, but rest assured, it’s all real. Except there’s no pricing, release date, or anything else for that matter.

Darn. It.

Nintendo 3DS announced, brings 3D glasses-free 3D gaming

Big news in the gaming industry today! Nintendo (the Japanese Giant) has announced that in the next fiscal year (which begins next month in Japan and ends March 2011) they will launch a successor to the Nintendo DS/DSi which includes updated hardware. One of the main new features is 3D gaming, sans those petty glasses.

In the meantime, what we do know besides the target release date is that there’s no pics of it/no price/no specs, but we do know that 3DS is that name of the device and it will be backwards compatible with DS/DSi games (meaning it will contain two cameras, one front-facing, one back) and will surely hit Japan first.

And as a reminder, the DSi XL is coming to the States on March 28th. Seems pretty pointless now, eh?

Nintendo partners with Netflix to bring — Netflix on Wii

Soon this spring Nintendo Wii owners will have access to Netflix’s media streaming services. Start at a minimum plan of $8.99 a month, users will have the same privileges as Xbox 360 and PS3 owners. As with the PS3, Wii owners will have to obtain a free disc from Netflix’s website, and will have to load the disc to actually stream content. The disc ships this Spring, and you’ll need a broadband connection on your Wii. What I’m wondering though is that since the Wii cannot go past the 480p mark, there will be no HD. Would you still bite?

Nintendo finally drops Wii price down to $199. It’s official!

090804-nintendo-02

Well, after years of buying an over priced console, the Wii if officially going to be $199 instead of $249. Nintendo has confirmed it, and it is effective Sunday, so don’t buy your Wii till then! (But I wouldn’t buy a Wii anyway, a PS3 Slim is better.)

Anyway, now the Wii can go in combat with its enemies, namely the Xbox 360 and  PS3, both which are sold at reasonable prices.

So what do you think? Will the Wii win again the holiday season, or will the might PS3 with all the awesome games that are coming up will swallow the non-HD Wii?

Oh yeah, check out my new Twitter Connect button near the comment box, it’s cool!

wiiprice0914-1

The Nintendo Wii price cut rumor has been out for a long time now, but now it looks more real than ever. According to Nintendojo who were at a conference call, Nintendo “confirmed”" the price cut. Okay, this might not be real, but it’s a Nintendo conference call after all, so it should be real.
