N3DS
At the E3 2010 Nintendo conference, Nintendo officially revealed the true identity of the next-generation handheld console N3DS! However, Satoru Iwata said that this conference is not an official launch of N3DS, so not much information about 3DS will be disclosed. In the videos of many well-known game producers’ opinions on the 3DS that were subsequently released, everyone gave the 3DS high praise. Better controls, more game possibilities, they all say they want to do something completely different. It seems that the games we are familiar with are going to undergo big changes! Actual picture of n3ds 3DS function: According to Satoru Iwata’s introduction at the press conference, the appearance of N3DS is somewhat similar to NDSi, but the upper screen is widescreen and the lower screen is a 4:3 touch screen. 3DS will have a joystick, and the inside of the machine It has one camera and two cameras on the outside, allowing players to take 3D stereoscopic photos instantly. In addition, the communication function of this game is very powerful. Players can also negotiate with other 3DS when they are not playing games. For example, if you are taking the bus and someone sitting next to you has a 3DS in his pocket, there is also a 3DS in it...for example Dragon Quest, your 3DS will automatically download the downloaded characters on the machine. Those things that you could only download online before, now you can get them even if you don’t go online at all, and it’s very convenient. Many times You don’t even know what’s going on, so there’s a lot of extra stuff. It is a very convenient download function. In terms of screen performance, some details of the 3DS have reached the level of the Wii.

For these works, only the titles have been disclosed, without actual pictures.
Horizontal comparison between N3DS and future handheld devices. The general configuration pattern of the handheld game market: *Apple iPhone 3G s/4G = ARM Cortex PowerVR SGX; *HTC = ARM Cortex PowerVR; *Microsoft Zune HD = ARM11 GeForce 6; *Nintendo DS2 (N3DS) = ARM Cortex GeForce 9 * Nokia Platform = ARM11 * Palm Pre 2 = ARM Cortex PowerVR SGX * RIM BlackBerry = ARM9 * Samsung Platform = ARM Cortex PowerVR SGX * Sony PSP2 = ARM ? PowerVR SGX Rumors about the N3DS screen from Sharp in 2010 On April 2, it was officially announced that it has released a 2D/3D display switchable touch LCD display. This display will not require special auxiliary equipment to watch three-dimensional images with the naked eye. Sharp also announced that the LCD screen will be mainly used in portable digital products. Sharp's latest 3D LCD screen adds a touch function compared to previous 3D displays. In other respects, the display continues to use a parallax barrier display to display 3D images. The screen size has been expanded from 2.4 inches to 3.4 inches, the screen resolution has reached 480×854 pixels, the brightness has also been increased from 250cd/m to 500cd/m, and the contrast ratio has been increased from 100:1 to 1000:1, as follows It is officially released data.
Differences between old products and new products Screen size 2.43.4 - pixel QVGA (240×320) FWVGA (480×854) overall expansion of about 2 times Brightness (2D display) 250cd/m500cd/m about 2 times Contrast ratio 100:11000:1 10 times improved without touch function - This newly launched display screen is speculated by the industry to be used for Nintendo's latest N3DS console due to its current launch timing and newly added "touch function" touch screen, but Nintendo has yet to respond. Rumors about N3DS processor: Nintendo's next-generation DS will be powerful enough to compete with the iPod touch. It is reported that NVIDIA has signed a contract with Nintendo to use Tegra chipsets in Nintendo's future products. It is not yet clear which model of chipset will be used, but it will definitely be a single-chip design, possibly the second-generation Tegra chipset. Tegra has two most important advantages: the first is high definition, which can support very strong high-definition playback capabilities and 3D playback capabilities, and the visual experience is very good; the second advantage is power saving, it can do the same thing for hours as before Calculated standby time, thousands of standby times can now be achieved based on Tegra. Overall, Tegra has been very successfully received by the industry as NVIDIA continues to release new versions of it. This will greatly improve the performance of DS. Nintendo is still using two old and slow (67MHz and 33MHz) ARM processors to drive the DS. If combined into one ARM chip, it will reduce the size and cost of the CPU, but it will still be compatible with old software. , can also support more advanced 3D games and high-definition video decoding, which can actually be achieved using Tegra chipsets, such as ZuneHD. The next generation Tegra chipset may also be based on Cortex-A8 or adopt a better architecture, like the one used in the iPhone 3GS and the third-generation iPod touch, which can support more functions. NVIDIA is developing high-performance 40nm chipsets that can increase speed without affecting battery life.
Rumors about N3DS game carrier Foreign media Siliconera revealed on March 6 that Nintendo is applying for a brand new patent, and the shape of this patent is designed to resemble a new game cartridge. Speculations about this patent are currently focused on two possibilities. The first is the cassette used in the new model; on the other hand, there is also speculation that Nintendo’s patent is a large-capacity cassette (Hino Kohiro once said that "Ni No Kuni" 》Will use 4Gbit large-capacity cassette). For what purpose this patent will be used in the future, we still have to see what Lao Ren’s face will be in the future. Rumors about the communication function of N3DS: According to reports, the next-generation console of NDS will greatly enhance the online communication function. In response to this report, some other media pointed out that the current WIFI and wireless functions of NDS are already basic communication functions. If they are further greatly enhanced, the most easily imagined communication function is the mobile phone system. However, currently in Japan, the communication function of mobile phones requires a monthly rental fee. Iwata has also denied in his past speech that the next generation of portable handheld game consoles will not adopt this design plan. If this speculation is true, according to Satoru Iwata's speech, it is very likely that free Internet functions on mobile phones similar to Amazon, Kindle, etc. will be adopted in the future. Nikkei also pointed out that the online function of NDS2 may be produced by the American semiconductor company Qualcomm. On the other hand, many game developers also said that they have received the first game development kit for the NDS successor model. The Pokemon Company, which is responsible for developing "Pokemon", proposed that this new model also has a built-in suspension - —Motion sensor, the new "Pokemon" game will use this feature to support motion sensing. The Nikkei newspaper published corresponding breaking information shortly before the launch of NDSi and NDSiLL, and both of them were correct. The accuracy of this rumor report has not been confirmed, but if true, it is likely that NDS2 will appear soon in the future. In front of the players.
