However, this also means that the Nintendo DS Rumble Pak, which was used with games such as Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time, cannot be used. It is the first handheld system to not have backwards compatibility with Game Boy Advance games, which caused a lot of disappointment when it first came out. Nevertheless, it includes a plethora of exclusive features and has an exclusive library of downloadable and retail games. The majority of the store bought games for it were initially released exclusively for the Nintendo DS and DS Lite. It is the third model in the Nintendo DS family. Handheld games can definitely use more horsepower and there are definitely some great games on the way for the 3DS.The Nintendo DSi (shortened to DSi or NDSi) is a Nintendo-manufactured handheld console that was first announced on Octoand released in Japan on November 1 of the same year and worldwide in early 2009. If you disregard the 3D, the 3DS is effectively a beefed up DS with some new features (more cameras, wireless stuff, gyro sensor) and an analog pad - and that’s a good thing. I only truly appreciated the 3D effect while blasting through the colorful environments in Icarus.
Brawl, turned the game into a mix of on rails shooter and action game which, given its fast pace, feels oddly like Sonic the Hedgehog. Project Sora, Masahiro Sakurai’s studio that worked on Super Smash Bros. Kid Icarus: Uprising, which revisits the old NES game, was the real stunner. And zombies’ heads didn’t explode when I got a headshot, which made me put the game down immediately.
Resident Evil: The Mercenaries 3D is just the Mercenaries mode from Resident Evil 4 with more characters, weapons, and maps, but it didn’t look or play as smooth and the original. Steel Diver is a submarine action game that feels like a tech demo or an iPhone game. The 3D effect got distorted when I targeted enemies and the camera swung. When I hit the “Thanks for Playing!” screen, I was itching to play through the whole game again, but more to see the new graphics than to experience it in 3D. The demo was restricted to the Kokiri Forest and part of the Great Deku Tree. The game plays as well as ever with cleaned up graphics. The main draw for me was The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D, a remake of the N64 game. You get a greater than usual sense of distance looking down the field, which is arguably more than just a novelty of having the images pop out at you. Madden, which was playable, is a prime example. To avoid having 3D labeled as a gimmick, Nintendo is emphasizing games where 3D enhances gameplay by making depth more pronounced. And again, you can easily turn the 3D off. I’m not too concerned about tacked-on 3D graphics because it’s much harder to ruin a game with 3D than it is with motion controls. The change might offend purists, but it’s still totally functional. Super Street Fighter IV 3D Edition has a mode that uses an over-the-shoulder angle to make the 3D more noticeable. Since they can’t show 3D with screenshots and video, Nintendo announced a massive promo campaign where they’re sending out 3DSes to retailers and street teams.ĭevelopers have already begun to shoehorn 3D into every game just like they did with motion controls on Wii. It’s one of those things you need to try out yourself. Also, you have to hold it at a very specific angle to get the effect and if you tilt away from that sweet spot, the stereoscopic images get all messed up. Images didn’t really jump off the screen instead they appeared to sink back slightly as if I were looking into a box. Personally, I didn’t find the 3D effect to be all that eye-popping, even with the slider all the way up. You can turn it up and down or turn it off completely. You can adjust the 3D effect with the slider right next to the top screen. The top screen displays images in 3D without any special glasses. The 3DS is Nintendo’s new handheld and the successor to the DS - it’s not a redesign, but a new device with new games. I showed up too late to partake of the muffins and yogurt, but I did get to try the thing out with a bunch of different games. Last Wednesday, Nintendo hosted a preview event in New York to showoff the Nintendo 3DS and announce its release date and price (March 27, 2011, $249.99).
