I can not help but consider the 3DS as the virtual boy 2. I am very interested in how Nintendo is going to implement 3D into a handheld gaming system. I hope Nintendo also includes a virtual handheld service, which should include virtual boy games, and a movie player. Which brings me to another point, what kind of effect would the 3DS have on movies if they were to be played on the device?
 
Next, how big will the device be? I am hoping for it to be about the same dimensions as the DSi. Keep the cameras and SD card slot in the same place, and lets have the fancy new stylus be able to clip onto the wrist strap that Nintendo might include so that you do not lose your motion sensing stylus.

A glooming peace this morning with it brings;
The sun, for sorrow, will not show his head:
Go hence, to have more talk of these sad things;
Some shall be pardon'd, and some punished:
For never was a story of more woe
Than this of Sega and her Mashiro.

Yesterday my brother and I were talking and the conversation eventually moved to Avatar and we talked about these new 3D TVs that require the glasses.  I took that opportunity to say "hey do you know what Nintendo just announced?"  He sarcastically said "What?  Virtual Boy 2?"  So I said "yeah".  His face was priceless.
 
Then I told him the actual details (ie: it sounds like it will be Virtual Boy done right) and he was in shock of how this could even work.  I wish I could give him more details.  Wait until E3 I guess, huh?

It just hit me.

3DS' launch will be flooded with crappy GameCube ports.

As long as Lost Kingdom and Gotcha Force get another chance at glory that's fine with me.

It sucks. I think I can come back, then work lands a critical hit on me, or something else, then I submerge, then now I'm able to come up for air again, but the future... *scared*

So, basically I just **** my pants.

LOL at Ian thinking multi-touch means using a knife and fork. Never used chopsticks before? ;)

I hope both screens use multi-touch just to make Ian **** his pants at the thought of such a conundrum.

There was also the rumor that the GC hardware was actually hardwired for doing 3D. It was programmed into the chip but never actually used.

You know, I wonder how gaming, Nintendo and the GC would have turned out if it had been more successful. All of these things could have come out for it it seems. Motion started there, 3D was in mind with it's creation, there's a lot that could have been done with it.

Which is why they repackaged it and re-sold it to us. They weren't done yet, but needed a fresh start.

Good point. The 3DS will be their 3rd time selling us GC tech. Not that I'm complaining.

The GameCube is having the last laugh, becoming the most-sold piece of console hardware guts of all time.

Just because the instruction set is from the GC doesn't mean it's GC tech. It'll be significantly more power efficient, for one.
