Cheers, and yes a shrunk down Flipper really would surprise me. Surely they'd go with a more modern and flexible design, no? How well is Flipper going to perform from a power efficiency standpoint?
Then the vertical pixels need to be twice as large, or twice the the vertical resolution as well.
It'd need 2, 512*384 LCDs!
So the sum of Nintendo's experience with 3D is, don't stick kids faces 3 inches from the screen.
Link? Not to prove your point, but because I'm a fan of gamecube and am genuinely interested in that
Given they said it will be BC with DSi/DS. That means it has the same 2 ARM processors DSi has, at a faster clockspeed. Do you really see them using those 2, and Tegra? I'm sure the way Tegra accesses it's ARM is different from how DS accesses it's.
I don't see PSP2 or 3DS using an exotic new processor.

It was only recently revealed. It was in the 3rd quarter financial results briefing for the fiscal year ending March 2010 Q&A right in the official site. It's the second question.

Why not post the source instead? With Kotaku the best you can hope for is that they don't misinterpret the original article.

this one looks damn cool
You should see the actual VHS box. It's a 3d hologram kind of thing, so not only is there parallax effects, but the T.Rex actually pops out and breaks through the logo. I bought it day one when the Lost World VHS came out. I was so proud.
>_< Should post a youtube video instead of these shaking cam 3D images.
I could notice a Sony Bravia flickers in their early 3D demo @ 120Hz. It's rather uncomfortable. The latter SonyStyle demoes (like last week) are much more solid. Very cool to see the polar bear swim underwater and close up.
EDIT:
In my view, ideally, the control should be a 3D pen, not 3D joystick. They only need to track the tip of the pen (Don't worry about pitch, yaw and roll), like how Sony tracks the light ball. With rumble in the base unit, we can toy with collision between the pen and the in-game objects. The camera would be useful for other gameplay mechanics mentioned above.

I think this was actually discovered quite by accident when people experimenting with the Dolphin Wii and Gamecube emulator discovered how incredibly well and glitch free the games ran in stereo while using Nvidia 3D stereo glasses. (Even most PC games exhibit numerous glitches when running 3D stereo, save for those intentionally programmed to take advantage of it like Resident Evil 5.)
Sony responds 
Still firmly seated in 2005. And I wonder if that's the same research that made them release the PSPgo.

Well, I hope all portable devices, including iPhone, iPad, PSP, Zune, can display 3D where it makes sense. Once Nintendo lays down the road, the cost and robustness of the solutions will make it more feasible for others to come in. For a PSP, it doesn't really matter if it's for gaming or not. I use it mostly for media stuff anyway.
Would be keen to see the quality of the 3D screen.
If this is true, that means Nintendo is (also) going after your mature audience pie, Sony. ^_^
I think 8-9 years old are very savvy in technology applications. They may not understand what's under the hood, but they can certainly appreciate it.

I don't know how well this 3D is gonna take off. It might do well, but I don't see it over taking LCD TV sales for a while. The cost is just way to high for most people.
I'm actually more optimistic about 3DS than anything I've seen from Sony - because, on one hand, glasses suck, and buying a new TV sucks even more - while, on the other hand, the one place glass-free stereoscopy can work is on a handheld where, if done right, you would subconsciously adjust the angle and distance from the screen to keep your eyes in the magic spot.
And the whole thing feels very Nintendoish. Why did nobody think of that before? The Sharp phone is about as relevant prior art as the Microsoft Sidewinder thing was for the Wii. It will be hard to get right, and their games will be head and shoulders above the rest.
We spoke about it in the 3D gaming thread:

In the above case, I believe the special sauce is in the display glass. You need to look at it from a very narrow angle, which may be ok for a small handheld.
