Hi to all!

I'm not only a newbie to this forum, but a newbie to Nintendo in general.
I know, but go easy.
My kids have had systems since way back.

I'm actually a writer and am doing a write-up about the system.
In researching the 3DS, I found I'm actually pretty interested in it for myself and my husband. It sounds pretty cool!

Since I came across this forum, I figured you guys might be able to help me out with a question I have about it.

My question has to do with whether or not the 3DS is/has hands-free capabilities. I don't know if the motion sensor and gyro sensor have anything to do with that, but if anyone can help me, I'd appreciated it enormously.

Thanks very much.

Hi! I think David could put all the information we have herd or had predictions about in a bundled e-mail We actually don't have much info on the sensors. Also , if your a writer why wouldn't you start with a simple Google search?

I've actually been searching since last evening.
Since there isn't a lot of obvious info out there in
Google-land about the 3ds being considered hands-free,
I hoped the forum members here might since you all
seem to be pretty in-the-know. I've done a search
here as well. All good writers know to ask the experts.

Any info would be super!

No the 3DS is not hands free. You can direct any more questions to me.

Thanks for the info, Baroque. I appreciate it and the offer.
Will do...

You can post 1 feature and we will all spit out answers like no tomorrow also i reported this thread as abusive but just to get the admins attention.

Also , if this if for a report in the paper , you should give us credit lets say the 3ds can walk up and flip and land on its face , -Hayden on 3ds forums.com

I'm confused by what is meant by hands-free. Do they mean you can just talk to it and operate the user interface, like with phones? I don't understand what purpose that would serve...

If by hands free you mean without the use of hands, then of course not. I know you are a n00b, but no video game system that is popular does not require hands. Hands are the easiest part of the body to control things with.

I think she's referring to hands-free as in no direct contact with the hardware, like the Kinect (and while it may hurt to hear it, the Kinect is doing really well sales-wise).

Wouldn't using you hands require making contact with the hardware?
