Nintendo of American has announced that its 3DS portable gaming system will be getting a system update in November that adds 3D video capture. So if you want to get in touch with your inner James Cameron, get set for a killer update. Here are more details from the press release on the 3DS’ video-capture capabilities, as well as other features included in the November update.
At the end of November, a new system update will deliver a range of cool new features and enhancements, including 3D video capture, which will let users record up to 10 minutes of 3D video and enable people to create their own 3D stop-motion animation videos. The update will also add new puzzles to the StreetPass Mii Plaza and a new dungeon to Find Mii. Other features will be announced in the future.
I know that most of you are down on portable gaming and down on 3D, but I have to ask if there’s any chance you’re interested in this feature. Also, how many of you thought of the possibilities of 3D pr0n hitting the family-friendly 3DS? *snicker*
This seems like it would be on par with some of the cell phones that are doing this. Not a feature I'd use, then again I don't ever film much of anything.
This is a pretty sick feature for a handheld, its not a deal breaker but if I had one I would probably use this the most.
To me, this seems like yet another thing Nintendo should've put into the 3DS at release. I've said this many times before, and I'll say it again; if Nintendo didn't rush the release, it would've done much, much better. Think about it; if the system had everything that's been added over its short life at the beginning, wouldn't it have been much more appealing?
And, if my recent article of Game Informer is anything to go by, then most of the general gaming populace shares my feelings of confusion over this topic.
I've seen the 3-D phone AT&T has out right now and it's cool but it loses it's luster after a few vids.
