Even though Nintendo has been experimenting with 3D for years, and working on the DS successor for years, the two ideas weren't always connected. Speaking to Famitsu, 3DS hardware producer Hideki Konno revealed that early versions of the hardware were designed without 3D in mind.

"I became involved with development starting in 2008, but at that time, it didn't have 3D visuals," Konno said. "From Nintendo's perspective, they've released [3D racing game for Famicom] 3D Hot Rally and the Virtual Boy; they've had a history of experimenting with 3D visuals." With the advent of glasses-free screens, Nintendo decided this would be a good time to try again.

The same is true of the gyroscopic motion sensor. It was added just before E3. " The boat had really left the port by that point -- the hardware team had the final specs and just had to work it all out," Konno told Famitsu. "Then, in the midst of that, Miyamoto said 'This isn't enough; we can really change things if there's a gyro sensor in there.'" After playing with a prototype gyro-enhanced DS, Konno agreed. "We had a prototype for the sensor already, so we got everyone together to try it out, and the conclusion we came up with was 'Well, if we can do things this fun with it, I guess we've got no choice.'"

Nintendo revealed one augmented reality game included with the 3DS, yet there are five more it kept quiet about. But, inevitably, someone's leaked the lot.




In case you didn't know, the 3DS will come with a set of cards that will be used for special augmented reality games included within the machine - games that seemingly appear in the real world on the console's 3D screen.

We already knew about Face Raiders, which transforms 3D pictures of your friends' faces into floating targets that you shoot by moving the system around to aim. But there are five more games, details of which have been leaked to Wired.




'AR Shot' is apparently "a combination of pool and mini golf". You use a cue stick to hit a ball around a mini course and sink it down a hole at the end - all done on your dining table. You walk around your table (or chosen surface) to make your plays.

'Fishing' turns your table into a body of water and you move your 3DS to manipulate your rod, dipping your line into the water to yank out fish of increasing size (you occasionally see sharks). Sounds amazing, that.

'Graffiti' lets you draw on surfaces with a range of paints, paintbrushes and other special effects like fire. You can then manipulate your drawing with the buttons.

'Star Pics' uses multiple AR cards, each one with a different Nintendo character drawn on them: Mario, Kirby, Link, Samus and Pikmin. the first picture of those can be seen here. When you point the system's rear-facing cameras at these cards it makes the corresponding characters appear. You set up a scene and take pictures of it. Neat.

'Mii Pics' sounds like the same basic idea as 'Star Pics', only you use Mii characters instead.

2. the 3DS Will only use one universal friend code. that's to say, Once you add someone as a friend in the 3DS, you don't need to add him again in a game you both have.What's more, it will make WIFI games easier to set-up.

3.the Nintendo 3DS will be region coded, that's to say the right of playing games from different regions on the system was lost.

NDS Card supports ...

The first few Nintendo 3DS review scores and analysis have hit the net, taking aim at the launch line-up.

The scores come from Japanese mag Famitsu ahead of the release of Nintendo's handheld over there on Saturday.


Here's the full verdict on the 3DS launch line-up along with closing comments on some of the titles from the mag.

They're translated by Andriasang but we've totted up the totals at the end (since we can't be sure what each individual number refers to) to save your head from some maths:

• Super Street Fighter IV 3D Edition: 9, 8, 8, 9 [34/40 - 85%]

• 
  "Graphics are good. The 3D versus option is a show for the system's 3D, but it can be a bit hard to see. The touch controls are convenient."
• Samurai Warriors Chronicles: 9, 9, 8, 8 [34/40 - 85%]
  "There's a lot of volume, and the missions are enjoyable. The 3D makes it easy to grasp enemy position. The game's real time simulation elements are enjoyable."
• Winning Eleven 3D Soccer: 8, 8, 8, 8 [32/40 - 80%]
  "The game is lacking in terms of modes, but the standard modes are there. The feeling of distance and closeness is increased because of the 3D depth. The text is a bit hard to see."
• Puzzle Bobble 3D: 6, 6, 6, 6 [24/40 - 60%]
• Nintendogs cats: 10, 9, 9, 10 [38/40 - 95%]
  "The fur is realistic and the wireless elements are good. The game can be enjoyed by anyone."
• Ridge Racer 3D: 8, 8, 7, 9 [32/40 - 80%]
  "There are few modes. Beginners can easily drift, but the rival car difficulty is high. Good points include the BGM and the inclusion of many old courses."
• Combat of Giants Dinosaur 3D: 6, 6, 6, 5 [23/40 - 57.5%]
• Professor Layton and the Miracle Mask: 8, 8, 8, 8 [32/40 - 80%]
  "The puzzle solving doesn't use 3D too much, but investigating a screen with depth feels good. The game is enjoyable in 2D as well."
• Shanghai 3D Cube: 7, 7, 7, 5 [26/40 - 65%]
• Super Monkey Ball 3D: 9, 8, 8, 7 [32/40 - 80%]
  "The gyro-based controls don't fit with 3D. Playing with the gyro controls is fun, but when the 3D is turned on for this, it's a bit difficult to play."

Yesterday reports emerged of an amazing 3DS GAME deal, which essentially lets you try before you buy.
