An example information processing system includes a main unit, a first controller device and a second controller device. The main unit includes a display. The first controller device is configured to be removably attached to the main unit, and the first controller device transmits first operation data representing an operation performed on the first controller device to the main unit, irrespective of whether the first controller device is attached to the main unit. The second controller device is configured to be removably attached to the main unit, and the second controller device transmits second operation data representing an operation performed on the second controller device to the main unit, irrespective of whether the second controller device is attached to the main unit. The main unit displays, on the display, an execution result of an information process based on the first and the second operation data.

Information processing system, information processing device, controller device and accessory

An example information processing system includes a computer device comprising a housing, a display on a front surface of the housing, and processing circuitry configured to generate images; and first and second controllers each configured for detachable attachment to first and second different side surfaces of the housing of the computer device. The computer device is configured to receive signals from the first and second controllers both when the first and second controllers are attached to the computer device and when the first and second controllers are detached from the computer device.

An example of an information processing system includes a plurality of user terminals and a server capable of communicating with each user terminal. The server transmits a content to the user terminal. The user terminal executes a first program for displaying a content, thereby displaying on a display apparatus the content received from the server. The user terminal stores related image information indicating a related image related to the content. When executing a second program, which is a program that is different from the first program and can be executed in the user terminal, the user terminal displays on the display apparatus an image by changing an image based on the second program, using the related image information.

Information processing system, information processing apparatus, storage medium having stored therein information processing program, and information processing method

An example multi-configuration game system includes a computer device including a housing, a first display on a front surface of the housing, and processing circuitry and first and second controllers configured for detachable attachment to the computer device. The game system is configurable for game play in a first physical configuration in which the first and second controllers are attached to the computer device and in a second physical configuration in which the first and second controllers are detached from the computer device.

An example of a communication system includes a wireless LAN access point, a master, and a client. The master connects to a wireless LAN access point present within a first communicable range via a wireless LAN. Further, the master communicates with the client present within a second communicable range, which is broader than the first communicable range. The client connects to the wireless LAN access point via the master even if the client is not directly connected to the wireless LAN access point.

Communication apparatus, non-transitory computer-readable storage medium having stored therein communication program, communication system, and communication method

An example information processing system includes a computer device comprising a housing, a first display on the front surface of the housing, user controls, and processing circuitry configured to generate images; and a cradle configured for selective connection to the computer device and including an output for connection to a second display. The information processing system is operable in a portable mode in which the computer device is not connected to the cradle and the generated images are displayed on the first display and in a console mode in which the computer device is connected to the cradle and the generated images are output by the computer device to the cradle for display on a second display, but are not displayed on the first display.

A non-transitory storage medium encoded with a computer readable information processing program executable by a computer of an information processing apparatus having a wireless communication function. The information processing program causes the computer to function as position data obtaining means for obtaining position data indicating a position of the information processing apparatus, data transmission and reception means for transmitting the position data obtained by the position data obtaining means to another information processing apparatus within coverage through wireless communication and receiving position data obtained by position data obtaining means of another information processing apparatus through wireless communication, and processing performing means for performing predetermined information processing based on the position data received from another information processing apparatus through the data transmission and reception means.

Non-transitory recording medium encoded with computer readable information processing program, information processing apparatus, information processing method, and information processing system, capable of enhancing zest of wireless communication

A non-transitory storage medium encoded with a computer readable information processing program executable by a computer of an information processing apparatus, causing one or more processors to perform an obtaining module obtaining information on a state of the information processing apparatus or on a state of surroundings of the information processing apparatus, a setting module setting a communication condition for wireless communication based on the obtained information, and a data communication module carrying out at least one of transmission and reception of data through wireless communication with another information processing apparatus within coverage by using the set communication condition.

Non-transitory storage medium encoded with computer readable information processing program, information processing apparatus, method of controlling information processing apparatus, and information processing system, capable of enhancing zest of wireless communication

An image processing system includes an image coding device serving as a host device that outputs image data, and an image decoding device serving as a client device and including a display part that displays an image based on image data transmitted from the image coding device. The image coding device includes an image quality controller that controls the image quality of an image displayed on the display part in accordance with an operation status A of the image processing system. When the operation status is a status under which a delay of displaying an image which is caused by transmission of image data from the image coding device to the image decoding device is allowed, the image quality controller increases the image quality of an image displayed on the display part.

Image processing system, method of operating image processing system, host apparatus, program, and method of making program

A game system includes an image output device connected to a display device via wiring and a game apparatus capable of wirelessly communicating with the image output device. The game apparatus performs a game process and generates an image based on the game process. The generated image is transmitted to the image output device. The image output device receives the image transmitted by the game apparatus. The received image is outputted from the image output device to the display device and displayed on the display device.

Game system, image output device, and image display method

A game system includes at least one image output device and a game apparatus. The image output device is connected to a display device via wiring. The game apparatus is capable of wirelessly communicating with the image output device and is connected via wiring to another display device different from the display device connected to the image output device. The game apparatus performs a game process and generates an image based on the game process. The generated image is displayed on the display device connected to the game apparatus. The generated image is also transmitted to the image output device. The image output device receives the image transmitted by the game apparatus. The image output device outputs the received image to the display device on which the image is displayed.
