3D makes people blink… ALOT!

Seems like everything is being made with 3D technology now. It’s like the HD of a few years back. Along with these new trends are those eager few who want to redefine the way we view 3D. Right now, most people associate 3D with glasses (you know, the ones that give you headaches). Nintendo has done away with the glasses in favour of a camera that tracks eye movement for the 3DS. Although this may seem cool, Mr. Francois here has found an even cooler way to watch 3D. Continue reading

Sony PSP2 to be revealed January 27

There’s going to be an announcement for the PSP2 in about two weeks on January 27 and it’s probably for its expected release date and the specs of this device. I’m hoping that they ditch the UMD drive and switch from the uber expensive MS-Pro memory cards to SDHC/XC or Micro SDHC/XC. Guess we’ll have to wait until the end of the month to find out what Sony has in store for the next console

3DS Promotes Walking

Fitness is a big topic these days and especially within the gaming realm. Nintendo first promoted its Wii Fit line of gaming products as a method of losing weight and being healthy. Well, now it seems as if the 3DS is also taking a similar route with a built in pedometer that will earn game coins to be allocated to the game of your choice. Continue reading

Nintendo Wants To Have No Game Pauses With 3DS

Nintendo wants to avoid gaming droughts with the 3DS and have a more balanced release schedule. With 8 games slated for release with the 3DS, and a couple more waiting in the hangars to be launched in due time, I think the first 6-12 months will be ok.

This is important because Nintendo does not want to have a drop in momentum with the software and hardware sales on the 3DS, which is definitely a high end handheld  gaming device. I’m hoping Nintendo can print those games and assemble this gaming console fast enough to keep up with the demands that the 3DS will have in the coming months.
