On February 12th, Nintendo held an event in Bristol giving the United Kingdom a chance to test out the upcoming Nintendo 3DS. One of the more interesting items present was a Prism that projected a 3D image, is this Nintendo’s next giant leap?

Cool video, iam very interested on what Nintendo will do with there next gen console..knowing Nintendo they will try something new.

And if there gonna use holographic technology on there next gen console then i cant wait to see how they gonna use it for games :)

personally i think next gen will offer a combination of 3D + motion control(body or devices) for holographic..to give u an example here is a quote from digital foundry GT5 analyze.

"The next stage in gaming immersion is to combine 3D with head-tracking for a VR-viewpoint that would physically allow you to look around and explore the environment - or in the case of GT, look around those sumptuous cabins or cast your gaze ahead to the next corner on the track. In a recent interview with Develop, SCEE's 3D evangelist Mick Hocking talks about "holographics", though curiously nobody asked him what he was specifically referring to with that term... so we did."

IMO they should just build upon the revolution they created with Wii instead of trying something completely different which 3rd party developers are not ready for yet.

Stealth20k5592d ago

eh.........less gimmicks and more actual good games please

DNAbro5592d ago

Good thing nintendo makes good games

christheredhead5592d ago

i have a feeling nintendo will do some kind of holograhpic/3d console next. thats just my prediction though.

batguyz5592d ago

yea i agree,well maybe not right after the wii but i bet they will jump on it first.

Zinc5592d ago

This is interesting, but it would be better if it showed the sides of the image when you view the side walls of the pyramid and the back when you view the back wall of the pyramid.

I'm not sure how they would make this into a viable retail product, but I think hologram like devices are going to be the future. But, that could be 2 decades away for all anybody knows.

Raendom5592d ago

Pfft, holograms aren't supposed to be sealed off. Is there some sort of projector-based hologram yet?

U.S. patent examiner rejects Nintendo’s summoning characters patent as obvious: non-final ruling

The rejection is non-final (and even when such rejections are labeled as “final”, the process is far from over, given that there can be, at minimum, an appeal to the Federal Circuit).

Good, as they should! A game mechanic like that shouldn't be locked behind a patent, and Nintendo didn't invent it either.

PRIMORDUS66d ago (Edited 66d ago )

Nintendo wants to keep wasting money on bullshit lawsuits, real smart in this economy. They should put that money aside for other game projects. On the other hand, I don't care if they waste it all either, and they are screwed in the future maybe that will teach them a lesson.

Well dayum lol. Old agent orange pissing off every industry and nation.

0hMyGandhi91d ago

The fact that you have ANY disagrees will forever baffle me. And to the (apparent) MAGA contingent that exists on this website, enjoy your 8-9 dollar gas.

AuraAbjure91d ago (Edited 91d ago )

Yes, they had better be pissed after Trump told them the way they rip off the USA is over.

EveryPlatformGamer92d ago

LOL I read this on gaff, will they refund the money back to the gamers? highly unlikely. Didn't they just raise prices and pass it onto the gamers? Only Nintendo would send out the Ninjas to the US government.

-Foxtrot92d ago

That’s what I was thinking, imagine them winning hypothetically, getting a s**t load of money back which they would have lost if they hadn’t raised their prices and it’s business as normal.

It would just mean people paid more for no reason since they got the money back anyway.

Outside_ofthe_Box91d ago (Edited 91d ago )

A lot of companies partially passed the cost to consumers instead of all of it. They would still have to at least pay that back to gamers, but we know that won't happen. What's also sad is that prices won't come back down after the initial hike caused by tariffs.

People didn't understand the full repercussions of tariffs. That alone should have cost him the presidency if people knew it was a permanent price hike for consumers

Inverno92d ago

The people should sue these companies for having to over pay cause of these tariffs.

Eonjay92d ago

Naw they should sue the government for forcing the tax to begin with. No one reasonably expects these companies to absorb the taxes. Many smaller companies tried and were shut down or faced to increase prices to try to maintain their business. The tariffs effect everyone.

Inverno90d ago

I meant it mostly as a joke cause we all know the costs of these tariffs were passed onto the consumer. But it's seems no matter how vocal we are here in the states our "representatives" don't seem to care enough to represent us. And things are about to get worse.

Killer2020UK91d ago

The companies were doing what the law required then to do, the tariffs however were illegally implemented. Usually it's criminals we punish, you seem to have different ideas 🤷‍♂️
