There has been an image floating about the internet over the last couple of days, supposedly leaked through an FCC filing, of the development kit motherboard currently being used to test 3DS games. It’s not of a terribly high resolution, so I enlarged it a bit and examined it in detail to see just what we can learn about the 3DS from this image if it turns out to be the real deal.
Just a wireframe of the DS lite, not the 3DS
Nintendo officially announced today that they have a brand-new successor for the DS line in the works for release within the next financial year, the Nintendo 3DS. The lid will be blown off of the system at this year’s E3 on June 15th, so until then we just have a couple of facts that Nintendo has officially shared and some conjecture based on their unofficial statements and those of developers that are apparently already using the new system’s dev kits. A shortlist of 3DS facts and conjecture can be seen after the jump.
