Nintendo 3DS Player - It's Now Possible to Bring Your DS to Your TV!

Basically every Nintendo home console since Super Nintendo, there has been a device that allowed you to play Nintendo's handheld of that same era (all versions of the gameboy so far) on your television.

This tradition seems to have hit a little speed bump though though with Nintendo DS, and now 3DS..... UNTIL NOW.

How you may ask? My answer to your question is simple: the future release of Nintendo's next home console, the Wii U.
The Wii U has many functions, and can use all original Wii remotes for gameplay. The main Wii U controller however (if you havn't heard by now) sports a 6' touch screen, smack dab' in the middle of a traditional style modern controller. The touch screen is the key!
..... Now bring your mind into the handheld universe for a second..... but keep it open! 
Think about a Nintendo DS or 3DS. Stay with me .......  the bottom half of a DS system (when opened to play mode) is basically acts as a mini Wii U tablet control. Traditional buttons, and a touch screen in the middle. Now, the top half of DS systems basically acts as a "television" screen. RIGHT!!?

SOOOOOOOOooooooo....

Up until the Wii U's announcement, it was basically impossible to bring the DS to the television, via something like a "DS Player" (as the "GameBoy Player" and the "GameBoy Advance Player" brought Gameboy games to the television on the Super Nintendo and GameCube systems). Even the N64 allowed you to bring Gameboy to the television in one way or another with the "GameBoy Transfer Pack". but now with the Wii U tablet it is possible, and makes perfect sense! In order to bring the DS to the television, Nintendo would have had to create a contrller with a screen on it.... but now thats EXACTLY what they have with the Wii U!

Imagine using your television screen as the top screen to your 3DS/DS, and the Wii U tablet controller as the bottom half your 3DS/DS system. 

It is now possible to bring the DS to the television. To see your DS and 3DS games on the big screen! Nintendo seems to have had no problem scretching out the DS screen with the release of the DSi XL system. Why not stretch it out alittle more and go for the big time on the television?

With the release of the 3DS, handheld Nintendo games have officially made it to 3D home console status graphically, and Nintendo basically has a portible N64/GameCube on their hands. Take me for example: my original DS games I used to keep all in one DS designated little box. Now with my 3DS games when i'm not playing them, I put them in their respective game cases. I treat them like they are console status games, and they basically are, and can be if this thought is made true!

For me this is a great thought that now this is REALLY possible. I'm all about maximizing the experience. I know the difference between an S-Video wire and component dammit!So it's really cool imagining taking a DS game and advancing it to a home console experience. We should get the whole universe to foward this message to Nintendo. (as if we needed to buy another peripheral.... but, you know we would).

Hope this gets your juices flowing and imaginations running wild! I hope to see petitions for a 3DS players starting............... NOW! ;P

HoLLA!

JcM's Wii U Prediction that Could Have Been, and Why It Wasn't.

So first I just want to mention, the inspiration for this editorial comes from the fact that I had to get my information about my predictions out faster. I came VERY close to the mark on predicting what Nintendo's next console was going to be, but it wound up being a missed opportunity. I was planning on making my prediction in video form. It is to my disadvantage though that I cannot bring myself to do a simple vlog style video, because that is just... not my style. And if I were to make a vlog esc video, it would have to have the proper JcM flavor to it. I finally had a proper JcM way to release the information about my prediction in video form, but unfortunatly, more pressing matters were presented to me. Long story short, time goes by, and E3 2011 came and gone. It was too late to mention what my prediction for the next Nintendo console would be, but by god it was DAM CLOSE. Scary even. Therefore I have decided to release my prediction information in blog/editorial form. If I can make a video about my predictions before it is too late, I would love to. But sometimes you have to make the right decisions, even if it's against what you want to do. I would love to have my predictions made in video form, but time is of the essence, and I need to start releasing my secret weapons soon.

May this message serve as an invitation to join me on yet another form of entertainment and leisure activity I will be providing. And here, next... is alittle story of the prediction that could have been.......

Way before E3 2011, when the first Wii U details were released at the Nintendo E3 press conference, I just about predicted what the Wii U was going to be...and I was VERY close. My prediction of the next Wii was a system that had a screen on it. Very similar to an iPad. Something you can carry around with you, but also hook up to the TV as per usual home videogame console. 4 USB ports for multiplayer (if you chose to do wired remotes), or carry the system around with you where ever you wanted.

Further, I predicted that it would be a system you can take on the go with you not only for gaming purposes, but it would also expand on the brain age idea, and be something that would help kids out with their education process. A tool for learning, maybe something to help out with homework, along with being something kids can enjoy. Alittle Nintendo system companion.

In sort, my prediction was a Nintendo home console with a screen on the system itself, that you can take around with you if you wanted.In theory, I predicted the Wii U controller to the T technically.

Ofcorse this is the prediction that could have been. Now people who are reading this have a choice whether to believe me or not, rather then saying "Wow, the force is strong with him!" ;P So consider this the bottle that christens the prediction ship, so I can have my predictions post up as soon as possible in the fastest way... for when I do prediction editorials of course.

Here's to seeing the future! (And reporting it asap so I look awesome!)
