what's up everyone John Rhett enger' from TechnoBuffalo here is an unboxing of the world's first 3d portable gaming console this is a Nintendo 3ds let's go ahead and see if it lives up to the hype alright so let's take a quick look at the box the 3ds is going to come in two colors aqua blue or black of course I have the black version prices are the same those set at two $49.99 in the u.s. prices might vary depending on what country you are in so you got a picture of the 3d S on the front looks very similar to the outgoing portable model the DSi you've got sort of DS logo we've come to see with the representative two screens got some specs on the back talking about a new design and Ted vo 3ds camera it does take 3d pictures as well using cameras on the back we've got some information on face readers and air games and all kinds of other stuff but that's not overly exciting let's go ahead and get into the box we will use Senor stabby here to cut some of the plastic seals there are two of them slicer one slice through the other the three BS we're very excited about having a 3d game console 3d certainly now the rage but it is definitely victim to not having a flagship launch title games like Mario and Zelda are coming out later on in the year unfortunately weren't available at launch so the biggest games launched were goes to recon there is street fighter game and Lego Star Wars I'd say it's probably one of the flagship titles as well there we go let's go ahead and open this up I've actually not seen one of these yet nor did I have an outgoing DS or dsi so I'm very curious to see how this lives up to the hype and certainly the excitement that surrounds it so Nintendo includes a gigantic operations manual here so if you want to go ahead and read that see what else is gonna come in here looks like there is air games AR card so our AR game so you can download games you get that use your Wii Points you've got a Wii or you can buy them pull that off here we've got or one of these is gonna have the console it's off I think that it's in the middle and there is the console push it off to the side for just a minute that will run through all the specs on it probably the first time we're gonna see it without fingerprints you can see me in the reflection there are those two cameras that we're talking about feels very light in the hand to go out and push that off beside for just a moment and see what else you're gonna get in the box looks like this is a docking cradle for charging if you'd like and go ahead and see there's a picture of it goes and sits right down there and will charge and it appears that it uses a proprietary port now let's take a look and confirm if indeed it does because you've got the charging brick it looks almost mini USB style but I do not believe that it is it is a Nintendo prior tarry format I believe now we've got the 3ds out of the box let's go ahead and take a look at the console itself it's got those two 3d capture cameras right on the back kind of looks like eyes have had a little nose and mouth right there I'd be smiling at you right now let's only four still pictures it feels very light in the hand even with the battery inside let's go ahead and open it up and this is where all of the 3d actions going to take place it is a glasses three glasses-free 3d try saying that few times fast glasses-free 3d glasses free 3d glasses free 3d display so it's got a motion and gyroscope sensor inside the top screen which is the glasses-free 3d has a resolution of 800 by 240 with 400 pixels allocated for each eye to catch the 3d the bottom is a resistive touch screen meaning it's going to use a style so take a look at that in just a moment which has a resolution of the 20 by 240 there's a new way to control the Nintendo DSi or 3ds rather I'm gonna say that probably mix those two up Nintendo 3ds Nintendo is calling this the circle pad served as an analog stick we've got the very classic now 4-way navigation up-down left-right that we've seen on pretty much every Nintendo controller dating as far back is the first Nintendo the Nintendo Entertainment System which is still one of my favorites we've got your four buttons here X ba and Y you've got what looks like LED indicators these are actually physical buttons that sort of depressed denoting select home and start power button right there you've got two speakers and you've got a still camera for taking non 3d pictures and when you take 3d pictures by the way with those eyes on the back of course you'd be able to view them right here on the screen continuing our tour we've got a 3.5 millimeter headset jack the LED indicators you've got power and charging if we keep going on to the left we're gonna have a microSD card it's going to come installed with a 2 gig card you can go ahead and update if you want to download games or whatever there's a ton of things that are available you can use your Wii Points I believe so if you've got a Wii or you've got access to buying some weak points you can use them here on your 3d s see how many times I call this D S or the DSi it's got a volume not really a rocker but it's more of a lever on the top this is where a lot of the action is going to take place that's where you're going to charge it this is where the cartridge rig is gonna go we'll talk about that in just a minute and talking about that resistive touchscreen this is a stylus you are going to use for that if you've used a dsds i-dsi Lite DSi XL or DS XL are gonna be very familiar with this you use this when you're navigating because it is resistive you do not have to use the stylus you can try and use your finger as well it makes its contact through pressure we've seen the resistive touchscreen using a lot of smartphones a low a lot of touchscreen technology in fact most touchscreen technology has gone away from the resistive method so we'll go ahead and close this up pop the styli right back in place let's see what else we've got looks like we've got an infrared port you're gonna have two shoulder buttons left and right for when you're game so if you open it up tell your hands are gonna sit they'll naturally get access to those two shoulder buttons and now that we have it open let's take a look at 3d stuff this is a 3d lever I uses something called stereoscopic 3d if you remember baseball cards that you get in the pack that sort of look 3d as you move them that's the similar technology here as I tried to say my tongue twister no glasses are needed here but you have to be sitting at a right angle and be viewing this at the right angle as well to get them 3d effect yet to be seen sort of how the 3d is going to work unfortunately I can't just snap some video of the three and you guys will see it in 3d just gonna look 2d unfortunately so if you want to pick one of these guys up it's going to set you back again to $49.99 two colors aqua blue and black this is of course the black version not many big games at launch as I mentioned the two that were most interesting to me and I asked you guys on Twitter what you thought should be picked up and the first title that everybody said you should try is this Super Street Fighter 4 and you can see that sort of baseball card 3d technology I was talking about the stereoscopic you can see kind of an effect trail it's not gonna look 3d to you but you can start to tell it when you drag your finger over and you hear that noise so I've got Super Street Fighter 4 and I'm a huge Star Wars nerd and I'm also not afraid to admit that I do like the Lego games and this hasn't gotten the best reviews but here is Lego Star Wars 3 I have actually opened up to save someone bucks in time Star Wars some go ahead and show you what the box is we're gonna look like tiny little cartridges gonna go there you're gonna get a book speaking of said tiny little cartridge here it is and this is very very very small fully backwards compatible with DSD si si si light games all that business are you gonna get about three and a half to five hours of battery life while using 3ds games a bit more when you're using the backwards compatible games let's go ahead and see how the cartridge fits into this guy assume it phases out and it does indeed if you want eject it just go ahead and push in let's go ahead and turn this thing on I have already set up the date and the wireless now that kind of business this does have Wi-Fi connectivity so go ahead and power I don't want to show you the splash screen and I'll show you some hands-on at the video as well even though you're not gonna be able to see 3d so I'll walk you through and show you whether or not I think that the 3d is even a parent screen fighters in there you can see the Street Fighter logo I'll it's probably gonna look super weird on camera every time you move when you see when these in person the screen tends to change a little bit like those baseball cards we talked about so I know if we're gonna get any effect on camera here you look at that but very different and weird all the 3d effect does seem to work the bottom screen here is just your standard resistive touchscreen no 3d miss going on there so guys what do you think about the Nintendo 3ds you excited not excited you're waiting for the Sony PSP to NGP whatever they're gonna end up calling it I read like to hear what you guys have to say of course I'll be doing all kinds of impressions and stuff here with the Nintendo 3ds I'm John Rhett enger' from TechnoBuffalo you should check out the website for all your tech news and I'll see the next video bye bye you
