Nintendo announces the 3DS

Today at E3, Nintendo delivered upon its promise and announced the 3DS, the only device of its kind to deliver 3D imagery without requiring users to wear dorky special glasses. The portables secret weapon is its 3.5″ 3D display which users can adjust based upon their proximity to the screen for optimal 3D viewing; there will also be an option to disable 3D. Like the 2D DS, the bottom display is a resistive touchscreen and the front-facing camera remains unchanged. Another neat feature is the dual camera system on the backside of the main display which allows users to capture 3D images. There’s also a gyropscope, motion sensor, and Wi-Fi which apparently is able to download content in the background and sniff out a connection and log onto the web without your instructing it to do so. Pricing and a release date were not disclosed.

      They did start off as a playing card company in the late 1800′s.

    this is how 3D TV’s should be… watching in 3D without the need for glasses. Nintendo gets alot of respect for this one!

    I’ll buy it as long as I can put in a flash cart to play pirated games.

    I’m sure it’s a lot easier using this 3d on a 3.5 inch video game handheld, versus enabling it on a 55 inch, LED LCDHTV.

      Yah its definately easier on a smaller screen but the technology is there.

        The technology is there for 1 viewer watching one screen. I’m not sure it will work on a TV screen intended for everyone in the room.

        Also I’m waiting to read reports of this in action. I have a sneaking suspicion that It’ll give only a slight 3d effect. More in the line of the viewmaster and less in the line of things flying out of the screen at you.

    The fact that it takes 3D photos is going to be a game changer alone that’ll influence even smartphones. Portable 3D is about to take off faster than 3D TV in the home.

    So this is a more magical device?

    3D is a red herring.

    Too bad about no glasses, now people will have to look for a handheld game system to know you’re a loser.

    Soon Apple will enter the video game arena. They will mop the floor with everyone.
