Wii U Gamepad 3D Output Confirmed

At Ubisoft's Assassin's Creed III Launch Party here in Montreal, a Product Manager shared with IMGMR.com that the Gamepad is actually 3D enabled and will be usable in games like Assassin's Creed III. Now, comes the confirmation.

seems like its not, and the pics prove it

lashes2ashes4166d ago

How do the pics prove it. When the 3ds came out we all learned you can't see the 3d effect in photos or vids.

nveenio4165d ago (Edited 4165d ago )

It's not interlaced 3D. It's anaglyph, side-by-side, or top/bottom. There is no parallax technique as we see with the 3DS.

Tired4165d ago (Edited 4165d ago )

Gamepad 3D? I don't think so.

The fact the settings state anaglyph, SBS and TNB are the givaway. These are settings for various 3D tv's. All this does is confirm that the WiiU plays AC3 in 3D with compatible tv's. Or all screens via anaglyph.

Under the 3D settings is the option to play on the gamepad itself. There are no pictures of the gamepad running anaglyph pictures. Why not?

I call BS!

*edit* Even if anaglyph stereoscopy can be viewed on the gamepad that doesn't make it 3D enabled. Because in that case EVERY SINGLE COLOUR tv/phone/lap-top/computer EVER is 3d enabled.

quote from article "The green and magenta 3D glasses needed to experience this visual sensation come from Inficolor.". Its anaglyph 3D any TV can do this form of 3D you can even get this 3D method from books/magazines.

So did I at first, but Jesus Christ! Who would've known?! Thanks imgmr, this definitely gives me another excuse to pick up the Wii U!

kneon4165d ago

It said it can do 3D with the use of the colored glasses. That doesn't require any special screen, any screen can do it so long as it's in color.

I play this gam on my LG 50inch 3Dtv on my ps3 big whoop

This 3D craze is really doing it for me.

gemugurl4166d ago

That makes AC3 worth trying on the WiiU since the gameplay will be a bit different

kupomogli4165d ago

It won't make the gameplay different one bit. Disappointing game also.

grailly4165d ago

AC3 is also 3D on other platforms

profgerbik4165d ago

Everything is practically 3D on PC.

hum_bug4166d ago

Whhoooaaaa trippy 3D-ness

Thepcz4166d ago (Edited 4166d ago )

if true, this feature will add value to wiiu

no need to splash out on £1000 tv sets for 3d gaming. heck, maybe you could even watch 3d movies and other 3d content on the screen via netflix etc.

great move from nintendo. genius really

ChickeyCantor4165d ago

" The green and magenta 3D glasses needed to experience this visual sensation come from Inficolor. "

Any screen can do this? They aren't clear on how the 3D is rendered.

USEYOURFIST4165d ago

yea your right its not "proper" 3d like a 3ds sceen, just the one any colour tv can do..was excited for a minute untill i saw that lol

metroid324165d ago

Well its when all games support 3d the gampad needs to support it also for off TV Play ? Have a nice day.

Looking Ahead: The Lingering Questions About the Next Mario Kart

VGChartz's Mark Nielsen: "10 years. It’s been almost 10 years since the last mainline release in the Mario Kart series. Mario Kart 8 came out for the Wii U in 2014 and became the best-selling game for the system by a sizeable margin, and later pulled the same magic trick on the Nintendo Switch under the stage name Deluxe. All in all, it's sold nearly 70 million copies over the last decade and is still selling like hot cakes to this day, so it’s no wonder Nintendo has been in no rush to replace it. However, with rumors of a new system being just around the corner, and reports a few years back that a new Mario Kart is indeed under way, it seems the era of 8 might very well be drawing to a close. It’s an exciting prospect to be sure, but after two Nintendo systems with Mario Kart 8 at their heart, a lot of questions remain about how Nintendo will choose to follow it up."

I hope they just keep building on Mario Kart 8; Add a track-creation tool, and probably open it up to more Nintendo IPs with new tracks and characters, so Metroid, Punch Out, Starfox, Animal Crossing, etc etc.

gold_drake4d ago

there wont be a new one until the switch 2 comes out.

nintendo needs their bangers early on
