Leaked Nintendo 3DS Photos ( ” :( ” i dont like it )
April 7, 2010
At least, we could never see the ‘new, blue ocean strategy’ Nintendo walk out on stage with such a blight on the eyes.
A camera on the top of the screen allows for scanning images when placed face down, as well as taking photos. Slide up the screen like a mobile phone and you’ll see a D-pad, analogue stick and buttons similar to a Nintendo DS. Triggers are somewhat awkwardly shoehorned in the back of the device.
Sliding up the screen allows for playback of legacy Nintendo DS titles, according to the website. We’re not sure that would be possible, given the potential top-heavy nature of the screen as you try to hold the bottom with your hands.
The final trick shown in this supposedly leaked batch of images comes in the form of the ’3D’ technology itself, again using the camera on the device to project objects in real-time space. A bit like how the PlayStation Eye uses augmented reality in EyePet or Eye of Judgment.
