Description So yeah, just heard about the Wii U and it's weird two screen thingy, and then I realized that Nintendo has a trend for making things with more than one screen... Still, it looks pretty awesome.

they probably thought giving it three screens would be ambitious this soon.

Whoever says that this is a bad thing; Wouldnt you want to play your hardcore games on a different screen because your TV is being used?

BrokenTeapot In reply to tc781 [2011-06-08 21:29:51 +0000 UTC]

That would be awesome, but I'm still wondering if the screen in the controller will be used for all the games.

Does a run of two constitute a trend?

Phen01 In reply to Why-it [2011-06-19 02:03:44 +0000 UTC]

well they've released the ds and a bazillion variations, that technically counts as many
and the 3ds is an entirely new system, ds games can't play on a 3ds and vis versa
it's much more than a run of two

Why-it In reply to Phen01 [2011-06-19 03:16:40 +0000 UTC]

A ds is a ds is a ds. It's two.

Phen01 In reply to Why-it [2011-06-19 13:14:24 +0000 UTC]

sure, ds games can be played on ds lite/dsi/dsixl, but not on the 3ds. it's a new system with a new graphics/sound/gameplay engine. ds games can't play on the 3ds, nor the other way around

technically it's 3 but whatever

Why-it In reply to Phen01 [2011-06-19 13:42:41 +0000 UTC]

It can't because they want you to buy a 3DS and a DS. It would be very simple to make the 3DS play everything. It's less of a new system and more of a broken DS. The system is essentially the same but with 3D capabilities. Adding 3D doesn't make it a new system.

Phen01 In reply to Why-it [2011-06-19 13:44:45 +0000 UTC]

its graphics engine is entirely new. the quality is higher than it was originally. but i can see where you're coming from

i wasn't necessarily focusing on the 3d though, more on the joystick akin to the psp. it needs even more programming in order to support joystick control

not so much announced as Miyamoto said production was moved to it.

But more importantly, new SMASH BROS!!

Miyamoto didnt comment on Smash Bros, Nintendo Japan president said it was what Sakurai said he wanted to make on the new system, then after the audience went hysterical decided to drop the subject.

Sakoyo-Nu In reply to Justaplayer97 [2011-06-09 03:00:29 +0000 UTC]

But why is two enough? Is it designed for twins? Or by a gemini? or someone who loves the number 2? So many questions, yet no answers D':

Phen01 In reply to Sakoyo-Nu [2011-06-19 02:01:43 +0000 UTC]

so if the screen is divided like in super mario kart it doesn't look incredibly weird
that and a flip-open system designed not to get the screen dirty (unlike my mucky psp) would have a lot of empty space

Sakoyo-Nu In reply to Phen01 [2011-06-19 04:02:02 +0000 UTC]

I still find the point of the system flawed. And I actually liked the way the screen divides in Super Mario Kart.

{My older sister has a PSP, she hasn't had any troubles with getting dirty and when I've borrowed it I haven't either}

Phen01 In reply to Sakoyo-Nu [2011-06-19 13:12:16 +0000 UTC]

the psp's screen is ridiculously large, it's kind of hard not to pick it up and smudge the screen

also many games find use for the touch screen, i guess you have a point. but i honestly always thought super mario kart's screen division looked pretty strange. it's a matter of opinion really
