6 Ways The Nintendo 3DS Will Change The World

Expectations are huge for the Nintendo 3DS– the just-released handheld system that has an amazing 3D display. I recently sat down with some experts, who are all SUPER SMART, to discuss the implications of this monumental release. Here are some of the changes they’ve suggested we can expect in the coming weeks as the 3DS permeates our popular culture.

1. Glasses: A Relic of the Past!

3DS games are in 3D, but not like you’re used to. You don’t have to wear those ridiculous red and blue glasses! Where does the 3D come from, if not glasses? The answer might be wizards. No one knows.

Scientists Can Predict Your Gaming Skills By Scanning Your Head

Do you suck at StarCraft II? Do the intricate combo moves of Street Fighter escape you? Maybe you need an MRI. Researchers have found a method for scanning the brain that could predict how well you play video games.

Some of us are just better gamers than other. Mind you I’m not putting myself in that group. I spend rounds of Halo shouting obscenities at the screen. I’m talking about folks like my nephew, who runs around killing his opponents with a sniper rifle, never once stopping to line up his shot. The little jerk.

Maybe he’s not simply a better player. Maybe his basal ganglia is just better developed than mine.

The basal ganglia (also known as the cerebral nuclei) is a group of structures – located in the middle of your brain associated with learning new motor skills (joystick wiggling) as well as performing tasks that require quick strategizing and rapid attention shifts.

The Year in Controversies

It was a controversial year for gaming. The past 12 months saw the in-game assassination of Castro, playable Taliban, a Freedom of Speech shaking Supreme Court case and the call for a ban on Blood Minerals in gaming consoles.

From a “fun” concentration camp game, to a lawsuit packed with accusations of intrigue, backstabbing, secret messages and double agents, these are some of the stories of 2010 that generated the most fervor, the headlines that pushed gaming into the mainstream.
