The chip's been announced, making it pretty easy to check out the specs of the graphics on it.
...In a lot of ways it's actually more powerful than the Wii.
... The video in that link is really cool, a Futuremark tech demo for a console? I didn't know they made any... and it looks fantastic, as expected from the PC techdemo leaders. Better than the 3DS graphics we've seen probably... we'll see if the system can do that. :)
Quote:Hmm... I think I figured out why Nintendo didn't announce a "Wii 2". This may just end up "phasing out" the Wii all by itself. Here's a question. Is there a "multi-input/output" on there that could be designed to output video and audio to a TV? The PSP (second model and later) all have this capability, negating the need for any sort of "Super Gameboy" style accessory. The games may not be 3D, but there'd be potential for games to have "TV modes" that make full use of that resolution. Further, if the 3DS uses blutooth, there's the ability to connect Wii remotes to it. There's some interesting potential here.
Considering that they have no way of doing the 3D effect, or dual screens, on a television at the moment, I think the likelihood of that happening are near zero. You've been reading too many of lazy's older posts about that stuff I think... :)
