3DS Graphics: What We Know [update]

Monday, June 21st, 2010

[update: The 3DS’ graphics chip was officially unveiled today and it is called the DMP PICA200. The tech demo video for this graphics chip has been added to the article]

So, this year’s E3 has come and gone and we have managed to glean quite a few details about all manner of aspects of the upcoming 3DS system from Nintendo.  One of the most impressive and unfortunately obscured aspects of the 3DS are its graphical powers.  Pretty much all Nintendo showed to us at home was the trailer for Kid Icarus, which while awesome did not do too much to diversify our knowledge of everything the system can do.  So, I have accumulated for you all of the currently available samples of 3DS graphics available in both photo and video form so that you can perhaps be just as excited as we are at Game Usagi.  All of the awesomeness after the jump starting with the videos.

Nintendo 3DS Revealed! [update]

Tuesday, June 15th, 2010

[update: added more pics]

Well, the 3DS has been revealed.  The FCC leaked board turned out to be real, as the top screen is wider than the bottom and the system does have a control nub like the PSPs.  One trailer of actual gameplay was shown for a new Kid Icarus game called Kid Icarus Uprising.  The graphics are essentially GCN/Wii graphics, looking very complex and well-shaded.  Here are are couple early product shots and a fact sheet, I’ll try to get a hold of Kid Icarus footage for you too:
