Sure it might turn out to be nothing more than an incredibly expensive fad, but whether you like it or not, 3D everything is going to continue to be shoved in your face for the foreseeable future. Case in point: The Nintendo 3DS (temporary name) which today was announced by Nintendo. Images, specs, pricing, a list of launch titles and just about anything else imaginable have been withheld, but we do know the 3DS is headed for a Q1 2011 release and that “games can be enjoyed with 3D effects without the need for any special glasses” and that the system “will include backwards compatibility so that software for Nintendo DS series, including the ones for Nintendo DSi, can also be enjoyed.” Nintendo has said it will give out further details this June at E3, but man, that’s a lot of time for Nintendo junkies to go sleepless.

      I know a lot of people from 8 to 65 that love 3D. How can you not like it? When it’s done well of course.

      • Steve

        Because the ONLY instance of it being done well so far was Avatar, and that was one of the most expensive movies ever made.

        The rest of the 3D stuff in theaters has been unforgettable about 5 minutes in. And the glasses are *terrible*.

      • T

        Avatar and Alice were great examples of 3D…. Virtual Boy was terrible, it really hurt your eyes to play it.

  • Sliznut

    Not interested. However, if they bring 3D to the Wii, we have a deal!
