Nintendo 3DS: Augmented Reality Games

This looks dope, can't wait until next year when developers get used to what you can do with that.

Wow... Didn't see this, but haven't been lookin for handhelds. Guess I will be buying this when it comes out lol. Nintendo always brings something new and ground breaking to the table.

I tried a 3DS out recently at a Best Buy. It's pretty cool. Unfortunately, the only game available to try out was Pilotwings, which was meh for me. I wanted to try the AR stuff out, but they didn't have it available on the demo.

The 3D effect is different than I am used to. Things don't pop out as they do with other forms of 3D entertainment. Rather, the 3DS's visuals create the illusion of depth inward. The real downside of the 3DS right now is its battery-life, which is about 3 hours with the 3D turned on. I hear Nyko is selling a battery pack that attaches to the system, however. So, for the price of making the hardware bulkier (and 20 bucks) you can play for a few more hours.

It's really 3 hours? That's hella weak. I might wait for a price drop or more battery efficient version down the road. I mean I guess that's not a problem if you play while charging but that defeats the purpose of it being a handheld.

Well, 3 to 5 hours, allegedly. More if you have the 3D turned off, which you'll probably do after the first hour anyway.

Doesn't impress me. Then again, I've never been a huge fan of handhelds.
