A world first is upon us – the first console created entirely in 3D, the Nintendo 3DS system uses latest technology to produce vivid and convincing 3D effects and most gloriously, there is no need for nerdy glasses anymore.
When news reached the team at tkm9 that they were to be engaged to create the product website for the Nintendo 3DS, there was unified excitement in the development department (a wholehearted group of self confessed Nintendo veterans). Tkm9 were thrilled to be given the opportunity to continue the 18 month strong relationship with the iconic gaming company for this truly new concept of 3D innovation that explores new gameplay mechanics using motion and gyro sensors whilst providing an exciting range of Nintendo published games.
Confused by tech speak? In layman’s terms what I mean is that this little compact console detects your position in space (not actual space like Lost in Space with Gary Oldman; although if I was actually lost in space I believe Gary Oldman would make a solid and responsible wingman and get us home again…) but more so detects the devices position (rather than the user) to allow for user specific motion. Popular and iconic games such Resident Evil: Revelations and The Legend of Zelda become an interactive and physical 3D user experience like no other.
Below is a review of the 3DS from the uber techy kids at CVG:
“A slider on the right-hand side of the machine allows you to adjust the depth of perspective that you require. We begun in Metal Gear in a jungle area – and it took some customising to correct our field of vision. But once we did, the super-sharp splendour that fell out in front of us really was something to behold.
Robust, spiky foliage poked out of the ground and seemed to tickle the back of the DS screen. Meanwhile, arrows flung in our direction soared through the air towards us – from what seemed like 50 metres away.
The neatest touch was some searing orange butterflies, which at one point (in our peripheral vision), we would have sworn actually flew out of the machine. Yes, we ducked.”

Being passionate about this technology with the Augmented Reality and 3D capabilities offered in house by the tkm9 team, it was fitting for the web developers to create the website for this new product. Take a look here: http://nintendo3ds.com.au
