Nintendo "3DS" Announced

Nintendo "3DS"

Quote:
 
Nintendo's latest model of their DS handheld, the DSi XL, just arrived in the GI offices yesterday and won't be available to the general public in North America until this weekend. That newly launching product hasn't stopped Nintendo from unexpectedly confirming months  of rumors  by announcing their next-generation handheld device, the Nintendo "3DS."

Nintendo released a brief statement revealing the new system in Japan. The statement had scant details on the 3DS, the most important of which was the source of its name: The handheld will apparently feature the ability for "3D effects without the need for any special glasses." The statement does not elaborate on this technology, but if Nintendo has come up for a solution for true 3D that doesn't involve wearing goofy glasses, we're all ears.

The 3DS will also have full backward compatibility with DS games. The statement makes special note that it will work with DSi games as well, suggesting that the 3DS may also have a camera built in.

Nintendo plans to release the 3DS (probably under a different name) this fiscal year -- that means some time between now and March 2011. In the meantime, it looks like we'll be learning more details about the new device at E3.

Before you scoff at the idea of 3D on a handheld, remember that most people thought the two-screen idea for the DS was stupid when it was first announced as well. With that warning in place, are you excited to hear more about the 3DS? Does it mess with your plans to buy a DSi XL?

[Update]

For a look at how the 3DS might work, check out this video of a Japanese-only DSi game called 3D Hidden Picture. Keep in mind this is NOT actually running on the as yet unknown 3DS hardware, and it's likely that the 3D effects displayed by that unit might be somewhat different. Still, this is an example of how 3D is already being done on a Nintendo DS without the use of glasses. It's a pretty neat effect!

I don't know if it's just me but I don't like the idea of 3d tv's and games. Wearing 3d glasses make me sick and give me headaches after 15mins.

I never think it'll work unless you don't have to wear glasses. Which I don't think you apparently do with the 3DS.

Okay...you know this isn't like the 3D you get at the cinema. It's still going to look like it's on a 2D surface. It just uses head tracking to adjust the camera in the game to give the effect of 3D. No glasses required.

I'll get one... as soon as we get some R4s for it or something. The DS is incredibly hit and miss with games, i'm not gonna fork out a couple hundred for a bunch of shit games. I wanna try before I buy.

It's funny that every new iteration of the DS only has one new main feature, but everyone that loves the DS will gobble that shit right up out of Nintendo's hands.

You crafty bastards Nintendo.
