Nintendo’s New Contender: 3DSIt seems that Nintendo unveiled its 3DS 3D portable gaming system at the 2011 Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas and reports by Lance Ulanoff of PCMag.com are that “the glasses-free 3D effect and feeling of immersion on the relatively small screen is fairly remarkable.” The review of the Nintendo’s newest contender goes on to say that the latest gadget has “three cameras, one on the face and two on the back; and the rear cameras are for 3D photography (you can’t take the images off the 3DS, but can view them on the 3D screen or use them to create your own 3D Mii) and augmented reality.”The company was not actually at the CES opting instead to hold a series of private meetings in an adjacent hotel to the convention site. It was there that the company offered journalists such as Ulanoff the opportunity for a real-time look and hand-on experience with the gaming company’s newest technology. Ulanoff reports that “Nintendo hasn’t announced final pricing or an exact ship date beyond (March); however, the company is planning a major product event later this month, where they’ll go into further detail on all the Nintendo 3DS features,” and when he joked with the company’s representative about whether or not the 3DS was “also a phone” he received a light-hearted response that no, it was “not a phone.”Also, while no titles have officially been announced, it’s a good guess that their holdings such as The Legend of Zelda, The Ocarina of Time, Nintendogs cats, and Dead or Alive, will be available 3D style, and rumor has it that the initial offering will be along the line of ten titles to select from.

You’ve experienced the wonders of 3D technology in the theaters. Now, Sony is making it possible to take home video gaming systems that are a.) motion controlled and b.) displayed in eye-popping 3D. Sony has announced that their motion control system, “Move,” will be available in US stores starting September 19, 2010. They also plan on launching a series of games that will be playable with the new 3D motion controlled systems. As of now, PlayStation 3 games such as “Killzone 3,” “The Sly Collection,” and “NBA 2k11″ will be available for your senses to indulge in by the September release of the new system.What exactly does this mean for the gaming future? There are two major breakthrough technologies that accompany Sony’s Move release to consider. The first is the motion control system. Previously, only serious gamers with serious money could partake in videogames where the characters on screen are controlled by your own motions. Small scale versions of the motion control systems, such as Nintendo Wii, provide a similar experience, but so far no mainstream gaming system compares to what Sony intends to release. Secondly, the 3D aspect of Sony’s new gaming system will revolutionize gaming forever. Players who already lose themselves in the onscreen virtual realities will be even closer to actually being in the game themselves. The use of stereoscopic 3-D technology means visuals will pop out at you in 3D and the overall gaming experience will appear more lifelike than ever before.
