Do you think they'll go back to 1 screen for the successor? Might not be a bad idea.
Nah then they won't have an excuse for having subpar resolutions and graphics.
>>322048439
One screen is a total step back as far as gameplay goes.
The second screen allows you to place a lot of shit that would clutter the rest of it and paves the way for more free form and fluid gameplay without the use of a pause menu.
>>322048685
I have two monitors for my PC. I really wish more PC games would support additional displays because almost none of them do.
>>322048439
And how they will perform BC?
>>322048685
>The second screen allows you to place a lot of shit that would clutter the rest of it
Or you could just improve the resolution and use a menu prompt.
>>322049402
>Or you could just improve the resolution and use a menu prompt.
>wanting screen clutter at all
It's not even a resolution issue dumbass. There are so many games out nowadays with cluttered screens even on PC that could benefit from a second one.
>>322049656
>There are so many games out nowadays with cluttered screens even on PC
Example, please.
>>322048439
Fuck no. Play Class of Heroes and then play Etrian Odyssey and tell me which one works better.
Nope, and it's a shame too.
Sure, it allows for games like EO, but everything else is a chore to play on that shitty clamshell design.
>>322051365
>but everything else is a chore to play on that shitty clamshell design.
Like, nothing?
>>322051428
Like everything. The GBA and [trigger warning] Sony handhelds feel infinitely better to play on than the DS and 3DS. Even the 2DS feels better. You don't have to deal with some retarded extra shit attached onto it.
>>322048439
>EO in one screen
Yeah, no.I'm fine with the bottom one staying as is, I want the top one to be at a good resolution and for the system to finally have better graphics than the psp
>>322048439
but then there'd be no backwards compatibility
>>322051605
So, nothing then?
You haven't listed any games or actual reasons as to why it's a bad design.
>You don't have to deal with some retarded extra shit attached onto it.
Like, what exactly?
>>322051365
>shitty clamshell design
How is it bad? It makes the system easier to put in your pocket and travel.
The GBA SP also had a clamshell design and it was perfectly fine.
>>322052238
And it also protects the screen. There's no downsides to clamshell, really. That anon is just being pissy for no reason.
>>322048439
Wait... They are making a new 3ds??
>>322048685
I completely disagree.
If you have higher resolution you can just put the UI and other clutter things in the corners of the screens like every other console, PC and the Vita does. For every game that uses the two screens in a unique way like 999 does, there's a 100 more that just dump maps or pause menu things there.
Maybe, but the second screen is one of the only differentiating factors from mobile gaming, so y'know.
the chinese clone is miles ahead of the 3DS
>>322053409
>If you have higher resolution you can just put the UI and other clutter things in the corners of the screens like every other console
So your answer to screen clutter is, cluttering the screen.
Genius.
>>322053635
I have one of those, it's not that great, I prefer my 3ds

Fuck Nintendo
>>322048439
How much does the second screen cost?
I could live with one screen if the devs made it easier to navigate through shit on it, but seeing as how you need to reach down and press a tiny ass start button for map in P4G on the Vita every time, I dunno if I want to go back to a single screen. It's different with home consoles since the DS4 and shit is actually real comfy unlike handhelds cramped button placements desu.
>>322049402
You can't show the same amount of stuff with your proposal.
This is basic topology.
10 minutes in mspaint.
>>322053923
Yeah post pls
>>322048439
The only thing I want is higher resolution on both screen so 3D stuff can start looking crisp on nintendo's handhelds.
There's also a lot of untapped potential in the dual screen setup, which used to be explored during the DS time, but suddenly halted because of the 3D meme.
>>322054415
>I NEED TWO SCREENS TO PLAY MARIO!
>>322055287
>Mario memes
>>322055236
In the first sentence I meant 3D as in games that use 3D models like Monster Hunter.
>>322055236
>but suddenly halted because of the 3D meme.
Nah, devs realised that they didn't have to do something interesting with the touch screen. Nintendo still has a few games that utilize it, as does square funnily enough but the rest just decided to slap menus or maps there.
Which isn't too bad because at the very least it clears up the screen main which I wish many games would do, especially if they're FPSes or racers.
>>322055287
The second screen shows the lore, duh.
>>322048439
Sure would be more comfortable to emulate. Two screens is a bitch because I can never get them to fill the screen properly.
Touch controls are the worst though.
>>322056152
I still wish they would experiment more with it, like trying to make more games that make me hold the 3DS sideways.
>>322050258
MGSV
>>322057032
Should have bought one of those novelty monitors that flip from horizontal to vertical.
>>322049656
so you would take 320x240 resolution dual monitor over 1920x1080 resolution on a single monitor even though it has MUCH more pixels leaving more space for ui elements than even the dual screen monitors?
>>322057286
>one hour for a single reply
>>322049237
If they have a larger screen then they would simply have both screens appear on the 1.
>>322048976
What are some that do?
>>322057609
>touch screen games on a system without a touch screen
>>322048439
Yes. When will they create something original again? Touch screen has been boring for a long time and it was actually pretty boring from the start. Just give us a cool retro device. I just know they will do something like using the camera and the game to create some sort of 'real world' experience like the occulus rift.
>>322048685
This, desu. The second easy access menu screen is noice
>>322054415
It will have 3 screens and touchscreen-only controls. It'll use 24 double AA batteries.
>>322048976
You can force most games into supporting it with a few programs, but I think a lot of them don't even work with two monitors
>>322058295
>double AA
So AAAA?
>>322059089
no, 48 AA batteries
>>322054280
Solved as long as you buy the white smaller new 3ds. but yeah, the XL really lookes so muddy like an early ps2 game. MH4U looks shocking
>>322049402
I disagree. I like being able to check my map and switch items easily.
>>322049402
Kinda missing the pointWhat a raging mongoloid
>>322057356
The problem comes that these devices are still handhelds and even with higher resolutions, they're still limited by the physical screen size.
>>322058141
I don't know what point you're trying to make, a regular monitor is a fuckton bigger than a ds in size, not just in resolution.
>>322059568
and so it all comes back to the start of the chain. me personally would still much rather have a higher resolution, you guys are overselling this 'dual screen' usefulness. ui elements on screen don't actually bother me and neither does having to press a button to read some information i would only need to see every now and then. i would rather not be limited to a resolution smaller than a thumbnail
>>322059957
>me personally would still much rather have a higher resolution, you guys are overselling this 'dual screen' usefulness
me would rather have dual screenwith high resolution
>>322059957
Even if it doesn't matter much to you, there are groups of people who find the 2nd screen useful. Also having 2 screens doesn't automatically mean they have to be low resolution, it's just that Nintendo fucked that part over with by making the console 3d and in doing so, had to make the top screen at a strange resolution.
>>322054415
Imagine a 16:10 display, turned 90 degrees. Now it is a 10:16 display. Then imagine that the resolution of that display is 800x1280. Now picture a pair of 800x480 output boxes rendered onto that screen. You now have the ability to show both screens of the 3DS in 2x resolution, or of the WiiU on the same handheld screen with some extra room left over for the space to create the 'gap' between screens as well as some on screen controls if needed.
>>322060568
>Tfw the 3ds is rendering 3 fucking different images at the same time if you have 3D on
Nintendo really does some weird shit
>>322060909
You said a lot of stuff for the equivalent of "just increase the resolution on the current 2DS setup", which is not what the other poster suggested.
2 16:9 1080p screens
no 3d
>>322048513
truf
>>322048685
I have to agree. On paper a second screen seems like a gimmick but in games that use it well, it's amazing. In MH4U for example being able to customize it and move all of the hud shit to the second screen is really, really nice.
I also think the Wii U's Gamepad is great when used properly. It's use in XCX is very good and gave it the best fast travel system of all time. Being able to effortlessly warp around the world is fantastic.
