I like how this appears to support HDMI out.

very interesting.. and yeah.. i figured that the DSi was not strong enough to keep up with the tracking thingy on the map.. at least not that many elements… and be still a nice 30 fps.

the graphics could use a bit more polishing… or at least higher res textures…

but still its a great idea =D

now lets wait 30 days for sony to steal it and put it in the PSP Go xD

Wait really, I always thought cell phone games were god awful. Maybe the commercials they showed weren’t all talk.. Interesting.

It always has. Have you seen some of the 3d it can pull off!?

Wait… the skittles are bombs? then what are reeses pieces? lol

Looks like a neat idea. But i’m not sure how many ‘full’ games can come from that style.

Hehe, so the iPhone has more power than the DSi?

Hmm thanks for clearing that up! It’s certainly puzzling why with AR being an emerging trend and Nintendo pushing for alternate types of gameplay they didn’t think of this when designing the DSi.

Or perhaps they did and the price of more processing power was just prohibiting.

Thanks for the coverage of the project!

Regarding the question of power of the platform. The graphics may look a little rough, relative to a polished commercial game, but in terms of capability, the Tegra is nice. The DSi is WAY too slow (underpowered processor, etc) to do this kind of thing vision-based tracking (which is a shame, because I would love to make these kinds of games for it).
