    Which reminds me ... what did you do with that NDS you got last year? I remember you were trying to sell it here, I think.

    When I saw this clip, two things came to my mind:

    1. This japanese guy speaks such an horrible english that I can clearly understand him! :p

    2. Is it possible to play any Spectrum game in 3D with 3DS?

    I was pretty much sold on one when I learnt Ocarina of Time is being released for it :-) :-)

    I've already got that on the N64 and a Gamecube disc. Will I want to buy it and complete it again? Make it proper 3D and I may be tempted ;-)

    I have it on a GC disc too, but it's such a pain in the arse connecting the GC controller and being tethered to the Wii. Blooming 'eck has current-gen spoilt me or what!!!

    Proper 3D? Are you referring to the bits that we're pseudo 3d like inside Links hut? They were pretty few and far between and didn't spoil it much. (OOT is pretty much my fave game of all-time, can you tell ;-) )

    NO, I thought that this new DS was supposed to display games in 3D (like the films that you need the glasses for). If it was made like that, then I'd think about buying one ;-)

    yes they meant the 3d like you get in theatres. not like 3d and 2d games.

    Yes, it has a stereoscopic 3D display. If you look straight at the screen, your left and right eyes see slightly different images and it looks like there's real depth. They've got a modified screen overlay called a 'parallax barrier' that controls the viewing angle of alternate pixels.

    The screen resolution is 800x240 pixels, but half are visible from slightly to the right of centre, and the other half from slightly to the left of centre. So each eye sees a different 400x240 pixel image.

    You don't need glasses, but you do need to view the display from dead centre if you want to see the 3D effect. That's why this technology is no good for home TV, though it has been tried on some Sharp laptops and monitors.

    And in another groovy twist, as well as having a camera watching the player, there are two more cameras on the outside of the case for taking stereoscopic photographs. :D

    Superb play by Nintendo on this one!

    they'll finally have a device that people will watch films on!

    all those numpties out there that can't afford the latest, snazziest 55" 3D LED Tv's will be buying the micro screened DS to get their healthy doses of that additional dimension
