Nintendo has today announced that their new 3DS update expected to roll out in November will bring with it 3D video capture to the 3DS’s onboard camera. If you have been enjoying taking 3D pictures with your 3DS, you won’t have to wait long for the arrival of the new update that will enable video capture together with “other things” as Nintendo puts it. When Nintendo president Satoru Iwata announced the new update during Nintendo’s pre-TGS 2011 press conference, it generated a lot of excitement among 3DS users and gaming enthusiasts.
3D Video Capture: A Game Changer
The addition of 3D video capture is a significant enhancement for the 3DS, which has already been praised for its innovative 3D capabilities without the need for special glasses. This new feature will allow users to record their favorite moments in 3D, adding a new dimension to their memories. Imagine capturing a birthday party, a day at the park, or even a family gathering in 3D, making the experience more immersive and lifelike when viewed later. This update is expected to open up new creative possibilities for users, allowing them to experiment with 3D filmmaking on a handheld device.
StreetPass Mii Plaza and Other Updates
Unfortunately, Nintendo has kept quiet with exact details regarding the “other things” mentioned, but did Tweet that more content will be coming to StreetPass Mii Plaza. StreetPass Mii Plaza is a feature that allows 3DS users to interact with other users they pass by in real life, exchanging Mii characters and playing mini-games. The promise of additional content suggests that Nintendo is looking to enhance the social and interactive aspects of the 3DS, making it more engaging for users.
In addition to the 3D video capture and StreetPass Mii Plaza updates, there is speculation about what other features might be included in the November update. Some users are hoping for improvements to the system’s overall performance, such as faster load times and a more responsive interface. Others are looking forward to potential new applications or games that could take advantage of the 3DS’s unique hardware capabilities.
Nintendo has a history of surprising its users with innovative updates and features. For example, previous updates have included the addition of the Nintendo eShop, which allows users to download games and applications directly to their 3DS, and the introduction of the Nintendo Video service, which provides access to 3D video content. Given this track record, it’s reasonable to expect that the November update will bring some exciting new features to the 3DS.
As always, when more information comes to light, we will keep you informed. The anticipation for the November update is building, and 3DS users around the world are eager to see what new features and improvements Nintendo has in store.
