what to expect

nintendo has always been a toy maker but the thing is, I really want a little more than that now.
as good a gaming machine as this will undoubtedly be, three features will make it into a must have.

first.
they need an app store, Imagine the kinda apps that could be created for it if they had an apple-esque app store, (it can do everything the Iphone can plus a 3d screen and 3d cameras.

second.
they need to make the inward facing camera an augmented reality input device, I mentioned this briefly in a repsonse a youtube video.

I think this will be used in street fighter, you touch a few points on your opponent with your stylus (which is being registered by the camera) maybe face, chest then legs, press a button on the touch screen and your character does a face, chest, leg combo.

last but not least.
When I saw your video about 3g I honestly thought "thats just wishful thinking, and N will never spend the money" but after some deep thought have changed my mind.
you could go to the nintendo app store and buy apps any time you have 3g coverage, if you want to use the internet over 3g you could pay for a month (for about ?10).

and I think all 3d movies will be streamed over wifi or 3g, you will never own them or have them on your 3ds, you can only own the rights to watch them over the internet.

3g will increase the cost of the 3ds (per unit), but it will make money everytime anyone uses it (genius), they may have to lose ?10 on every 3ds, but they gain ?100 or more over the lifetime of every 3ds as people buy 3d movies, internet usage and apps.

3g far from being expensive, would rake it in big time, and it would be an awesome selling point!
everybody will love this feature, and it will make money win win, It would be silly not to have it!

personally it would be a big let down if it didn't have it.

One: They already have a "app store", aka DSiware shop. 3DSware has been confirmed.

Two: They already have an inward camera.

Three: Nice idea but then Nintendo will have to buy 3G equipment and increase cost. It's all in the hardware, not only in the soft.

I'm not worried, the mods can just delete this one if they like, I'll repost it somewhere else.

anyway think you missed my point a little bit, but thats probably cus I didn't explain it very well!!

wiiware is just for games at the moment, but the apple app store has all kinds of stuff, (it has a photoshop app, a guitar tuner, a spirit level.
everything you can think of is in the app store, and the app aren't made by apple they are just signed by them, it has become its own economy!

I was talking about using the inward camera to record hand gestures and stylus movement, which can be used to manipulate the 3d image, which would be amazing and will deffinately be done in some games but would be cool for nintendo to anounce now, as this would mean that nintendo have already written the software to allow this to happen.

and the 3g thing, if your talking about the cost of the 3ds then this won't really matter because by adding the 3g will increase the profitability of the 3ds substantially over its lifetime.
but if your talking about the hardware as in mobile phone towers and what not, then this is a moot point really because all nintendo will do is pay a mobile phone carrier a couple of pence per megabyte which will be passed on to the consumer.

thanks for the reply

Yes, the DSiware shop has apps like flipnote studio, the browser, notebooks, diaries, etc. So I would expect that for the 3DSware.

You should rename the title: "What I think Nintendo should do..." or something like that. :P

(By the way, you can't rename the thread)
