Not being reported at any sites, just a rumor from someone at E3.

He said Ubisoft was binging the A "gamer" games to the 3DS and one of them was a new IP.
We're gonna have to take his word on it for 2 more days, but I don't have a link to any sort of news story.

ah, i gotcha.

so much effing anticipation. I really want to find out; 1.) Just how powerful this thing is and 2.) if the DSware is going to be expanded on, and if so, how much. 

[UncleBob]

Wasn't UBISoft supposed to be bringing their top games to the Wii?

[MaryJane]

1 more day until this becomes more than a speculation thread... At this point I'm not sure if I could be disappointed. If all it is a 3D gaming machine that can only run one or two pre-installed apps like Netflix and Skype I would be happy. Though I am hoping it does much much more.

Droid does what Ninten-don't!

Wouldn't it be awesome if it turned out to be the gamers equivalent to a smart phone? Then I wouldn't need to buy a big ol' smart phone. Just keep a cheap phone and use the 3DS for everything else.

I'm so hoping that today's Nintendo Week might show us a brief glimpse at the 3DS.

[Louieturkey]

I wonder how the next Iwata Speaks is going to go with the 3DS.

Last Call!!!!! ALL ABOARD!!!!!!!

[NinGurl69 *huggles]

ALL ABOARD THIS TRAIN WRECK

KIDS' SEATS ARE JUST FIVE BUCKS

[UncleBob]

I remember them talking about the DSi and how they had designed it with dual card slots, but removed one because of the increased size.

I have to say, I would actually *LOVE* dual card slots.  That would be swell.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! They only had a 53 second clip saying to tune in for the rest of the week...

HAHAHAHA! How can anyone not love that?! I'm getting on tomorrow! Too bad I HAVE to miss Nintendo's conference in person to see Sony's.

Agreed. I always seem to juggle two games at a time on the DS and this could have been very convenient for travel. Also pokemon trading between D/P/Pt and HG/SS would have been really easy.

[TJ Spyke]

Cater, why would you have to miss Nintendo's? Nintendo has theirs at 9 PST/12 EST, Sony has theirs at 12/3.

And they aren't that far away. location-wise.

[Caterkiller]

I got this special Sony pass, and they are shuttling me there or something. I remember some strict words being said while all the Sony fans yelled and acted a fool as typical video game fans do. But If possible I will try to get into Nintendo's conference.

[stevey]

anyone have that trailer with the 3DS killing everyone?

or better yet the URL and password to nintendo's e3 press site this year

The 3DS sounds really awesome. It's incredibly unfortunate that it's a handheld. I mean, of all the avenues that could utilize 3D technology, handheld gaming is probably the last thing I ever would have thought of. Overall it's much more of a home-centric technology, and it's weird that they're focusing it on the handheld market.

Maybe I'm disappointed because I'm not huge on handheld gaming. If I'm out somewhere, I'm there for a reason, and generally I'm there with friends. Why would I waste my outside and do other stuff time playing video games? I play video games at home, whether it's by myself or with others, and if I'm at home, why am I going to huddle over a tiny handheld system when I could be much more comfortably playing on a TV?

I'm left wondering why all this third-party support couldn't have been pushed on the Wii.

Here is a list of third party developers that have something in the works for the 3DS:

[Kytim89]

Here is what we know:
• The Nintendo 3DS is black and blue
• As promised, this is a glasses-free 3D device
• Two cameras on the outside of the device for 3D picture taking
• 3D depth slider on the side of the device
• Round numb analog stick called the "Slide Pad"
• Bottom screen is a touch panel
• Below the touch screen are Select, Home and Start buttons
• Underneath the A, B, X, Y buttons is the handheld's power button
• Motion sensor and gyroscope
• Compatible with Nintendo DSi
• A camera facing the player above the portable's 3D screen
• The ability to play 3D Hollywood movies, like Legends of the Guardians from Warner Brothers
• The 3DS launch game will be Kid Icarus: Uprising
• It is a powerful system, featuring improved graphics
• The 3DS periodically searchs for WiFi spots and other 3DSs
• Easy online navigation
• No monthly fee for Nintendo's 3DS online access
• Nintendo is developing 3D Nintendogs
• More than twenty companies have signed on to develop for the 3DS
• The top screen is 3.5 inches
• Release date is TBA
 
The machine comes in combination of blue and black, but I am hoping that an all black model is revealed.

[Kytim89]

There is no word yet on a virtual handheld service, but keep your fingers crossed.

BnM, you got your wish. The 3DS will be able to play 3D movies.

[Spinnzilla]

It looks like Nintendo online post interviews with Iwata just confirmed Street Fighter IV. :O

It flash a bunch of game names, stating that 3D parties have been working with it for a very long time some of the new games included: SFIV, Ninja Gaiden, Samurai Warrriors.

[Kytim89]

If EA is developing for the 3DS I have to wonder if Dead Space 2, or some related Dead Space is coming for the 3DS?
