Iwata on WiiU: Console is 3D capable

An interesting Iwata quote states that the WiiU console can be 3D capable. The question is will Nintendo use such a feature when they already have a 3D capable handheld on the shelves?

of course they should its a console and the 3ds is a handheld.....besides its almost a guarantee that sony's next system will be 3d capable since i think they made a mistake with the vita

mike1up5433d ago

Yea Nintendo did mention that there would be some sort of connectivity options between the Wii U and 3DS. But not pushing 3D on the Wii U is a smart move. I dont even want to imagine how much 3D tv will cost me. Thats the beauty of having the 3DS, no tv required.

jacksheen00005433d ago

Nintendo could implement 3D capabilities to the Wii U controller if they wanted to. This would be a good idea since a lot of gamers out there can't afford a 3D tv.

jacksonmichael5433d ago

Mmmmmmmeehhh. It seems like a good idea, but I don't think it would be practical. It's probably two big for 3DS style glasses-free 3D, and if they were to use a 3D tv and the 3D controller screen, they would need to peer around the glasses to look at the screen... It just sounds... Wonky and weird.

Ness-Psi5432d ago

they would probably patch the Wii U if 3D does become more standard.
Also is it me or does Iwata look more like a caricature.

prettyboy125432d ago

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.

PRIMORDUS49d ago (Edited 49d 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.

0hMyGandhi74d 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.

AuraAbjure74d ago (Edited 74d ago )

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

EveryPlatformGamer75d 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.

-Foxtrot75d 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_Box74d ago (Edited 74d 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

Inverno75d ago

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

Eonjay75d 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.

Inverno73d 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.

Killer2020UK73d 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 🤷‍♂️
