Yep, it was Greek. ;)
Nah dude, it's in many articles on the web. Mistranslation or interpretation etc led to varying information in this glorious rumor. :lol:

Doesn't surprise me. What does surprise me is the second analog attachment, I don't think developers are too happy with the way Nintendo is handling the 3DS.

NO! I love the 3D effect.

I have no idea why people are hating on the 3ds. Has anyone really played one outside of a store kiosk? I thought the 3ds was garbage until I got it home.

I honestly think the sales are the way they are cause of nintendos track record of releasing a revision every other year. But people still buy apple products. Strange world we live in. :wink:

For those of you who like the 3D effect, I wonder how long you have actually used it. For myself, I was completely blown away by it at first, but found myself using it less and less over time, eventually getting to the point where it just annoys me.

Now I pretty much just flat out hate the 3D effect. It simply doesn't work well enough for it to be worth it. The current 3D technology in the 3DS is horrible.

Used to use it full blast but now I slide it up about a 1/4 of the way and actually enjoy it more. Alot less eye strain and still 3d goodness.

I will agree it looks great on Zelda but horrible on some games. Splinter cell looks bad with the 3d mode on.

After seeing the Starfox 64 3d trailer I have to say the 3d looks great. Remember, THIS IS LAUNCH 3DS TITLES! You arent going to get the best of the best within 6 months of release. Remember everyone calling the PS3 a flop?

Nintendo releases a new portable every fucking year. That's no surprise.

What is a surprise is adding a second analog stick, and maybe even removing the 3D altogether. That would be excellent. Those changes, along with larger screens, better battery life, louder speakers, and better stylus placement, and we can finally have a good new Nintendo portable.
That is not a good nintendo portable, that is a ps vita clone. Personally, I don't (want to) believe that article is true, because that would really fuck over people who just bought a 3ds 3 days ago (like myself). Adding a second analog stick is pointless, and removing the 3d would be a terrible idea as well. I really like the 3d, and even though the technology isnt perfect, it should be improved upon, not removed.

Any game that would need 2 analogue sticks could easily work on the 3ds. Use the circle pad for movement, and the gyro sensor to rotate the camera. The damn thing has enough input methods as it is.

I was seriously thinking of picking up the red 3DS next month, but this news makes me hesitate. Unless it is definitively proven false, I'm going to have to hold off until next year.

I wouldn't say a rumor is "news" but if you truly believe this current rumor, waiting is a good thing. Besides, what is there that you "gotta play" now? :)

Nothing, really. I'd be buying it on the promise of future games. I've already played OoT through about 3 times on the N64, and OoT 3D is the best it has to offer right now.

Right? The promise of future games sounds like money burning a hole in your pocket. Buy something you want to play now, not in the future. :wink:
