Nintendo Hologram shows us a possible future

On February 12th, Nintendo held an event in Bristol giving the United Kingdom a chance to test out the upcoming Nintendo 3DS. One of the more interesting items present was a Prism that projected a 3D image, is this Nintendo’s next giant leap?

Cool video, iam very interested on what Nintendo will do with there next gen console..knowing Nintendo they will try something new.

And if there gonna use holographic technology on there next gen console then i cant wait to see how they gonna use it for games :)

personally i think next gen will offer a combination of 3D + motion control(body or devices) for holographic..to give u an example here is a quote from digital foundry GT5 analyze.

"The next stage in gaming immersion is to combine 3D with head-tracking for a VR-viewpoint that would physically allow you to look around and explore the environment - or in the case of GT, look around those sumptuous cabins or cast your gaze ahead to the next corner on the track. In a recent interview with Develop, SCEE's 3D evangelist Mick Hocking talks about "holographics", though curiously nobody asked him what he was specifically referring to with that term... so we did."

IMO they should just build upon the revolution they created with Wii instead of trying something completely different which 3rd party developers are not ready for yet.

eh.........less gimmicks and more actual good games please

DNAbro4859d ago

Good thing nintendo makes good games

christheredhead4859d ago

i have a feeling nintendo will do some kind of holograhpic/3d console next. thats just my prediction though.

batguyz4859d ago

yea i agree,well maybe not right after the wii but i bet they will jump on it first.

Zinc4859d ago

This is interesting, but it would be better if it showed the sides of the image when you view the side walls of the pyramid and the back when you view the back wall of the pyramid.

I'm not sure how they would make this into a viable retail product, but I think hologram like devices are going to be the future. But, that could be 2 decades away for all anybody knows.

Raendom4859d ago

Pfft, holograms aren't supposed to be sealed off. Is there some sort of projector-based hologram yet?

Great news it shows that Nintendo intends to continue developing ports of AAA games to its next gen platform

H915d ago

Buying studios from embracer now is a great deal, they must be dirt cheap at this point, Nintendo is a opportunist, they wait until someone fall so they get their best deal

OtterX14d ago

That is some serious brain gymnastics you have going on there. 🤔

H914d ago

I didn't do any gymnastics I can assure you, honestly I don't know why you think that, not hating I seriously don't see why you think that

ZeekQuattro14d ago

Yeah I don't know where that came from. It's rare for Nintendo to flat out aquire studios. Guess they were trying to be edgy but why flex on this studio. 🤣

Kneetos13d ago

At least they are safer from layoffs with Nintendo then any other company

banger8815d ago

I hope someone buys Piranha Bytes, their future isn't looking good right now. I love their RPGs, they're janky as f***, but they have heart and soul.

Nintendo saw the Mortal Kombat 1 Switch port and were like, "Yeah, these guys are worth acquiring."

You can't make this crap up lol

Profchaos14d ago

Mortal Kombat 1 was never going to port well I'm sure they told wb it wasn't going to work but wb wants that sweet sweet 140 million install base

In the end wb approved the project cleared the milestones and allowed the product to release

SonOfOsiris14d ago

Yeah this guys ported MK11 which is great, Hogwarts Legacy which is great, and MK1 is now ok, play it every day

How Many More Victims, Like Garry's Mod, Will Nintendo's Hurtful Crusade Create?

Hanzala from eXputer: "As Nintendo takes out 20 years' worth of stuff from Garry's Mod, I watch in shock, thinking why it continues to hurt and discourage its fans."

RiseNShine31d ago (Edited 31d ago )

The irony that some of the most disgusting business practices come from companies like Disney or Nintendo, i can't even begin to understand what terrible damage was Garrys Mod making to Nintendo bottom line, imho they're getting pretty nervous about where they're heading in the future, handhelds are no longer something exclusive to Nintendo, from Steam Deck to many others, now you can play the latest games and pay a fraction of the price on Steam sales, so it's up to their exclusives, which just on their own would make hard to justify purchasing a closed overpriced hardware with outrageous price policies (Super Mario Odyssey is still 60 euro 6 years later!), and as a home console they're always underperforming compared to Sony or Xbox.

gold_drake31d ago (Edited 31d ago )

i cam guarantee you, that their exclusives alone is what drives switch sales. they sell in the 10s of millions of copies.

nintendo created their franchises to be sort of nostalgia driven, exclusive only on nintendo.

people will always buy the pkmn games as they always bring in new younger fans amd is family friendly

mario kart, the same thing, mario games in general.

zelda games are system sellers. animal crossing for the casual gamers.

nintendo doesnt need third vame devs essentially. they made sure with the switch and the limitations that they looked more to pc ps and xbox.

its sad, but nintendo is more than fine with what they're doing. they positioned themselves to appeal to the more casual gamers.

but to your point, im not sure why they're doing this rly.

Look at how they handled Nintendo games being streamed or uploaded on YouTube in the past. They killed Yuzu and Citra even when they had nothing to do with ToTK being leaked, not to mention it was basically unplayable on emulation the week it was leaked. Smash Bros tournament, that was fairly recent. They shut down their online services without any care for purchases made. I bought a switch after skipping their last 2 consoles and handhelds but I don't plan on buying anything Nintendo in the future. They take things to the extremes, they legitimately hate their fans. They're honestly right up there with the likes of Acti, EA, and Ubi, only difference is that they disguise themselves as being family friendly all the while being shady.
