Factory Worker Leaks Hi-Res 3DS Shots, Video
Several batches of screenshots have appeared online, some realizing the actual specs of Nintendo's new 3DS system.
A sneaky worker at one of Nintendo's factories has supposedly leaked high-resolution screenshots by smuggling a unit off the assembly lines and taking it home to shoot tons of nudies. Once the worker's images went live on this forum, the thread was quickly removed, however that didn't stop the new 3DS screens from spreading across the Internet like a bad case of termites.
As seen in the images, the "stolen" 3DS is actually the "Cosmo Black" model. Sharp eyes have pointed out that the device sports a different texture than what's seen in prior photos, and the "Select," "Home" and Start" buttons have apparently been flattened to sit flush with the touchscreen's border. We're also given up-close-and-personal views of the device's buttons and ports, including the SD card slot bay.
An additional batch of screens and a video surfaced shortly after the first initial group. These offer insight into its physical size in comparison to the Nintendo DS Lite and the original bulky Nintendo DS. They also reveal some of the elusive hardware specs including 96 MB of RAM and a 1300 mAh battery. Ultimately the 3DS size seems on par with the Nintendo DS Lite, perhaps just slightly shorter in width-- both the 3DS and DS Lite are obviously shorter in width than the Nintendo DSi.

Haha well put. But what if someone can get Windows 98 or Linux running on it
I doubt windows 98 (Doesn't have much more memory then the original xbox and the original xbox couldn't do Windows 98) maybe linux.
^ damn you. i'm 6 and i'm excited as hell!!
Don't cuss! Your too young to be doing that lol!
Shut up Soldier37, the 3DS is going to be awesome, i'm getting it on opening day at midnight.
Stupid it has more memory then the orignal xbox
Whatever happens.... atleast it's a thing the geeks are looking forward to.... and plus if it can be used as a toaster....
why not...... they used the toaster for the Xbox..... so the competition can do a little something for backward compatibility.....
Good job videoing yourself in the mirror-window so nintendo can fire you
Ah hah! It was a 2-man job.
...My detective work still hasn't fooled myself into finding this interesting. Sorry.
my prediction ; the graphics is going to suck

go figure it's Nintendo, lol
Stupid it has more memory then the orignal xbox
They did say it doesn't have MUCH MORE memory, meaning it does have more. Please read and understand before you call someone stupid or you will just end up making yourself look stupid.
lol
Do any of you know anything about the 3DS? Look at the Resident Evil screenshots. They look amazing. It's much better than the PSP. Not to mention that they are making more M-rated games on it. Resident Evil, Metal Gear Solid, Saint's Row, Assassin's Creed, Blood Rayne, Dead or Alice, Tom Clancy, and a bunch more are already confirmed.
that device looks thicker than the sammich my wife gave me today! I'm totally buying one! Kid Icarus , will play it to death, wait for a new super mario, play that to death, then sell it, like I did with my previous DS.
I wouldn't wear that shirt to work tomorrow If I were him
Many Bothans died to bring us this information...
Gimme your monies
@hardcoregamer not so hardcore I guess, as you haven't seen screen shots / video from E3 on this device.
at least this nintendo has full quality games as well as 3d which the iphone can hardly do either of.
It's going to be good but Nintendo puts out too many handhelds which is why this thread is getting a lot of flack. people have much moved on from handheld oops to iphone.....meh
Did I forget to mention that this handheld costs half as much as an iphone?
iPhone / Androids are phones with some gaming abilities. They don't exactly have joystick / buttons... and pressing on your screen for a button is kinda messy.
So... what, spend $200~300 on an iPhone to give to a 6yr old for a toy? Or a rugged $120~180 Gameboy that plays games, takes pictures and records audio... without a monthly usage plan. So in reality, an iPhone is $400~700 without a 2 year contract.
Different devices for different things.
Don't forget that Microsoft was just talking about ARM support for Windows. I see something entertaining coming for us modders...
