Iwata opens up about the secret 3d power of the GameCube
Did you know that the GameCube was built with some specific 3d technology that was never put to use? The info comes straight from Iwata himself!
Iwata: To tell you the truth, GameCube is secretly designed to load graphical circuits which display graphics for right and left eyes respectively, for a future possibility of realizing 3D gaming experience. So actually we have had interest on this technology, but I have some doubt about everyone needing glasses to play.
Looks like Nintendo has been thinking 3d for a long time, but never actually felt that it was the right path for the industry. I wonder if that same tech is hidden away within the Wii. Thanks to Cypher for the heads up!
