Topic: Wii U games in stereoscopic 3D

It's anaglyph, though. That's a form of passive. The slow frame rate In Mortal Kombat with 3D on has nothing to do with what screen I'm using. It's a 60Hz screen, but MK is running at like 25-30FPS because of 3D.

I know the difference between FPS and Hz.

I'm just saying, that Nintendo could release a device like this is 3D TVs don't start selling and they absolutely want 3D to be a thing on their home console. I've seen an active shutter 3D box, but it costs like $300. It gets 3D onto a regular display.
This just one of them:

I've found a similar one on some obscure website, but that was after searching and looking at multiple places that I can't recall exactly where they are. It's no secret that people are trying to get 3D onto their regular HDTV, and 3D boxes that are better than the one I have already exist. This has more of a chance than a 3D HDTV unless prices plan to hit rock bottom for them, if you ask me.

Again, though, passive isn't reliant on a refresh rate, because the glasses aren't showing you different frames. The 60 frames are there, and you see what you see within those frames. I get that 3D HDTVs and glasses rely on light refraction, but I'd say any type of 3D that requires glasses is pretty far from what they should be anyway.

I mainly got this box to see what it does. I was seeing 3D World at 60Hz in 3D. Granted it's anaglyph and had some lag, but it works. I would expect something better if a company tried to sell this sort of thing outside of the home theater niche market, which is pretty much what 3D HDTVs are there for.

It's expensive, but Nintendo may have a better solution. This whole thread is basically a huge speculation, so I'm gonna say that Wii U might be able to do what this thing does with a $50 attachment and glasses of some sort. There's just too many people out there without a 3D TV to be able to do anything with 3D, so an attachment option seems almost inevitable somewhere, somehow.
The 3DS doesn't even cost as much as this damn thing. They're trying to sell you the value of making ANY HDTV 3D, and there hasn't been a successful one that's mainstream, yet.

The refresh cycles need to synchronise with the shutter cycles for it to work so these things wouldn't be worth doing for a low-refresh-rate screen. I was just trying to stop you from wasting your time over thinking this because it's not something worth doing even if they did want to.

There's a fairly cheap way to get shutter-glasses 3D to work on TV with refresh-rates high enough already. It's called turning on the mode that enables it on virtually all TVs with a decent enough refresh rate to support it. BAM, problem solved. All the Wii U needs to do is bother to create a game that uses that feature nobody cares about.

@skywake
So you understand that I'm not BSing?

I agree. Wii U needs games similar to what made the original DS so legit. Seriously, DS and GCN were the happiest times of my gaming "career". I didn't even know GCN was selling that poorly and having a blast the entire time.

Everyone "doom rode" the DS too. Meteos, Animal Crossing: WW, Mario Kart DS, Metroid Prime Hunters, etc. were just too good to pass up. That's why it's tha much harder to look at the smart phone arguments. DS was dominating before iOS and Android were even a thing.

Things just aren't that simple anymore. I've always wanted 3D.

Ramble over.

Good one.

Seriously, though. I think Nintendo needs to get 3D onto the Wii U on an OS level, then make previously released games and possibly upcoming games all compatible as long as you buy said attachment. Monster Hunter, RE, Call of Duty, and Injustice already have known 3D modes on at least one other platform. Assassin's Creed III is the only game that allows 3D and that was a launch game.

Super Mario 3D World, W101, and maybe Pikmin 3 are probably already setup for a 3D mode at Nintendo HQ. That's the kind of stuff they have behind closed doors.

Have to disagree I feel Nintendo needs to focus on making games then hardware additions that the majority of people don't care/won't buy.

@Jazzer94
Different teams do different things. The people working on Smash Bros for Wii U aren't going over to work on the OS or a Wii U Zapper. It's one team made up of a bunch of different teams, so having an accessory made in team one doesn't effect software development of team two, besides maybe OS programming and added software functions, but that's why the teams are there in the first place.

EDIT: As a company, ya, they have to figure out pricing and marketing, but that's why their teams are big and have different duties. This doesn't effect software or anything, unless they overlooked the feature for possible software that would utilize it. By the time that happens, they would have to realize they overlooked a pretty big portion of a plan, assuming they aren't doing things, then realizing later.

In other words, it's not an issue if they were to make something like this.

@SCAR392 I still think whatever team that handles improving the Wii U OS can spend their time improving other aspects then wasting time on something like this which barley anyone will use.

@Jazzer94
I'm not giving an exact time of anything. You're assuming that I would expect this to be top priority on their "to do list", when that's not the case.

Ya, improving Miiverse or an account system is a higher priority. I get that. I'm not saying such a thing should be done over something else that is a higher priority.

Yes it needs to happen! i'd buy the attachment.

Hey I mentioned this in a previous post and its actually a very cool. I've seen this in use personally and it actually does look more 3D then the TVs out now. I think because it can track your head its just feel more natural which make for a better 3D experience. Nintendo needs to jump on this and use it. Unfortunately though this guy mentioned his idea a long while ago so I don't think Nintendo will use this. Which is a waste IMO!!!

The Wii U has HDMI 1.4, which I think is capable of displaying 3D images. So the game should come out and then we connect our Wii U to our 3D TVs.

Actually I believe I saw a game, it might have been ACBF or CODGhost that you could do 3D on the Wii U its in the settings in game. I don't know if its just a generic setting that comes with all systems for that game but I'd imagine if it has the option and you have a 3D TV then it would work. I'll have to give it a try as I just picked up a 55 inch Samsung 6030 3D TV yesterday.

I have a ghetto 3D anaglyph converter. The colors are red and blue so you can see the image, but the 3D effect is very much the same.

This 3D attachment would hook up to your Wii U HDMI port, then to the 2D HDTV to display the 3D image directly from the Wii U itself.

You wouldn't need the attachment if you already have a 3D TV, but it would be possible to have current 2D HDTVs show a 3D image.

Kind of farfetched, but it's possible. My main reasoning was that 3D TVs are either too expensive, or no one can justify buying one to replace their current HDTV.

All the 3D TV does is decode the image that is sent from the 3D device. If Wii U sends the image decoded for 3D viewing before it reaches your TV, you wouldn't necessarily need a 3D TV to be able to view 3D, much like my anaglyph 3D converter box, except with accurate colors, obviously.

i dont see why you think it would be a good idea to release a separate adapter or whatever to get a crappy version of 3d that would use crappy glasses on regular tvs and look bad. i do think nintendo should've supported actual 3d tv's though.

Please read. It would have the same performance as a 3D HDTV without requiring a 3D HDTV.

The only reason why you would think everything is "crappy", is if you don't care about 3D.

EDIT: Don't mix up my examples with the point I'm trying to make.

Yes, I would buy it. I freakin' love 3D.

Check out the video and then tell me why an attachment like that would make a crappy 3D effect.

@Sofaking
I watched the video and understand how it works, but the accessory I'm talking about would basically just turn your 2D HDTV into a 3D TV, and would be specifically used for Wii U use, unless stated otherwise.

in response to what's going on in the video, the GamePad by itself would be able to do the exact same thing seen in the video. 9-axis allows the GamePad to track location and other motion which is basically what's going on in that video. In otherwords, the GamePad paired with my said device would technically be able to do the same thing without it being as complicated.
