Summary of foreign media reviews on Nintendo 3DS getting started

NintendoThe screen used by the new camera 3DS allows you to see 3D images without glasses.VideoI can't reflect the effect of the image. I have selected five good articles from various tests and translated the highlights for reference:

IGN (trust me, this is going to Big)

I played for about 20 years.GamesThis is the first time in the past few years to say "holy crap" after experiencing the handheld system.
Nintendo 3DS is a natural evolution of DSI. The large joystick on the left slides smoothly-more than Sony on anyPSPThe operation is much better.
Believe me, you have to see this with your own eyes to understand how I was deeply shocked.
Nintendo uses an LCD technology to provide independent images for the left and right eyes. The human brain merges the two images to provide different depth and a strong stereoscopic effect. This effect is very obvious, but it looks natural. Dessert (SweetPoint) has a fixed range, so you do not need to keep 3DS firmly in one position. Rotating the fuselage will see a shadow and lose the 3D effect, but it is very easy to keep the three-dimensional picture within sight.
......
3D cameras (two cameras) on the back have to mention: You can see real-time 3D videos and take 3D photos ...... You can also use a joystick to adjust the 3D effect. 3D photos takenTemporarilyIt cannot be adjusted on the machine. This function will be useful in the future.

Wired (in a word, unbelievable)

Nintendo's 3Ds is described as "Incredible" in one word ".
......
The image quality is much higher than your expectation for Nintendo, which makes me a bit untrustworthy. The picture quality may be better at the Sony PSP level. The eye-catching 3D effects make everything look richer.
3D effects can be seen only when you stare at the screen. However, this effect may be achieved by adjusting the position of 3ds within a certain range.
This is not to say that you have to stay firmly in the ideal position. The 3D effect can still be seen when it is up or down and close to 180 degrees of sight. However, if the Left and Right flip angles are too large, the screen will become blurred, just like dropping glasses to watch 3D movies.

TechCrunch

I only have the opportunity to watch a one-minute demonstration ...... I feel that the 3D effect is not like jumping out of the screen, but more like providing depth in the screen. It depends on the way and scenario of viewing, but in general, this effect is more like looking into the room through a window, everything inside is 3D. However, 3D effects are true.
In a demo of a game where Mario and his friends are running, I can change the perspective but cannot control the role. After my head is moved several dozen centimeters, the screen will become a shadow. Dessert scope ...... It can be ignored, but it does not need to be fixed around the neck. The normal movement of headers has no effect.

Author inArticleThe comments section added that:

Increasing depth makes the foreground and background more complex and can provide more attractive lenses. The dramatic effect is almost entirely to provide shocking results. It is good to jump to the screen, but if it is not to shake the audience, it should not jump out of the screen (to make the 3D image.

Gizimodo (you haven't seen anything quite like it)

I used it to play several games. Rating? This is a very smart system. You have never seen such a thing.
Star Fox, this is like creating a game for 3DS ...... The gaming experience is good on 3D screens. But I found a problem when I watched the Avatar movie. My eyes don't know where to put the focal length.
In a 2D image, your eyes can keep everything in the focal length. But in 3D, at least in 3DS, I found myself setting the focal length on multiple planes, which is a little eye-catching. My brain is also confused about the various fluoroscopy elements (the object zoomed closer to me) and three-dimensional 3D clues.
What does this mean? Simple: I crashed more frequently in the game than in the 2D version. Similar pilotwings and kid Icarus games have the same problem.
However, design is only one of the games, and other games have a much better performance.
For example, Ren tiangu. Like the old dog, you use a pen to raise virtual pets, but the 3D version is more attractive. Once a puppy jumped to the front of the screenStick your head out.
It sounds a little vulgar. But it's really cool. It makes me dumb to connect me to this boring virtual pet in an unexpected way.
DJ hero is also an excellent example of 3ds's performance. The crisp icons floating on the screen and flying records are impressive. Although 3D itself has no influence on its gameplay, I will not lose this effect after reading it.
Alloy equipment, swaying in the jungle, suddenly found a snake? Not that scary, but great!
......
I am confident that, just as Nintendo has changed the gaming industry through an imperfect but cross-era wiimote, they have already achieved the same change through 3DS. No matter whether you buy or not buy 3DS, you will not wear stupid special glasses in the near future, looking at the 3D display in your hand.

Engadget(It works !)

the gaming screen is on the iPhone 3gs level, and the 3D effect is good in most games.
the main problem with the system is that if you don't stare at the screen directly, the 3D effect will be lost. (Line of sight focus) after the screen is reached, the screen will change, but it is easy to return to the normal 3D screen. We want to know what the shaking subway will do, but the current shortcomings will not have a great impact on us. The screen quality is very good. After the 3D mode is switched off, the screen will become brighter and clearer. The negative effect of such screens on brightness is far from that of 3D glasses.
another concern for us is that the black image becomes too abrupt after the angle deviation from the center. Nintendo does not want us to directly take the front of the screen because the screen is not very effective in the camera. If you are worried about the screen effect after reading the photo, you can compare it to none. It performs well and can even be said to be great.
the bottom screen looks like a sharp DS screen. It is not very good to switch the line of sight between the 3D screen on the screen and the 2D screen on the screen. The vast majority of games simply need to use the remaining light to view the lower screen.
......
in general, we were very impressed by the hardware and software presented by Nintendo. It is still unclear whether this can eliminate the threat from the iPhone, but 3Ds is definitely a significant evolution After DS. It will take us years to get a big screen experience in the living room.
