Do you know what's nice about the 3DS?  It has NORMAL CONTROLS.  I'm sure Nintendo will still **** around with broken touchscreen controls but all the buttons and such are still there.

I wonder how well this Slide Pad works because it looks eerily like the analog pad for the PSP, and we all know how well that one works.

NES MAX Returns.  It reminds me a lot of that.

[Caliban]

I don't know what the NES MAX is.

I thought the top screen was going to be a bit bigger, but oh well.

I don't know what the NES MAX is.

I thought the top screen was going to be a bit bigger, but oh well.

The NES MAX was an old controller for the NES. It had turbo buttons and instead of a D Pad it has a slider to move in 360 directions. It will be great for shooters! there is a list of games for the 3DS on Nintendo's E3 site. I'm real happy Street Fighter IV is up there along with Metal Gear and Resident Evil. Are there any hopes for games rated T and M coming to the system? Also there are full specs up on the site as well e3.nintendo.com/3ds/. Needless to say I can't wait to get this system.

[UncleBob]

Put the thumb sticks above the buttons/D-Pad.

*whistles*

I don't know what the NES MAX is.

[BlackNMild2k1]

Where are the pics people!!

Don't make me wait till I get home. Spoil it for me. Please.

[Kytim89]

I can almost bet the the Final Fantasy franchises are Final Fantasy 5, 6 and 7 remade with 3D effects and enhanced gameplay.

Where is the SD card slot and what is that hole in the middle of the 3DS?

[stevey]

MArio Kart look Amazing!

Where is the SD card slot and what is that hole in the middle of the 3DS?

I think it's a headphone jack

[TheFleece]

The carts are 2GB at max and it's noted that the stylus will collapse and extend up to 4 inches. I hope that movies can be downloaded and not bought on separate cartridges. The cart slot is in the back I'm assuming (I haven't seen any pics of it, but Jonny talks about it in his impressions article) and the hole in the front is the headphone jack.

[BlackNMild2k1]

Is there internal storage? How much?

[TheFleece]

Is there internal storage? How much?

There's nothing listed, but there is a SD slot. I'm hoping movies can be downloaded right to the card and played off them.

[Peachylala]

I WANT DSI DATA TRANSFER.

Is that too much to ask for, Ninty?

[Kytim89]

Has there been any word on the virtual handheld? I am speculating the 3DS will have atleast 1 GB of internal flash and 4GB at the most.

I haven't heard anything, but it would be great to get GB And GBA games to download.

Throw in Game Gear and Neo Geo Pocket colr and we will be set.

[TheFleece]

One thing I noticed is that the analogue stick is only similar to the NES MAX pad in looks. During the Iwata Asks video about the 3DS the system is held at an angle and you can see that the area around it is sunken in and it is more joy stick than the slider that was on the MAX.

Sexy:



edit: From Nintendo says "Final design is TBA." http://e3.nintendo.com/3ds/

[Mop it up]

Please don't have sex with the 3DS, you'll ruin the screens.

CylindrialAnimalCrossinghorizonenvironment! Nooo!

[Ian Sane]

So is this Animal Crossing going to be a new game or is that stone still have some blood left in it?

[TheFleece]

I feel that this Animal Crossing will generally reflect City Folk and probably have nothing really new to offer. Forget that though- why does 3DS get Street Fighter and not Wii?
