The Nintendo 3DS

I kid not. A handheld that is capable of 3D Graphics without those 3D Glasses.

The official model will be presented at E3 this year.

And if you want to see what the graphics look like, here's some pics from the next Pokemon Game that'll come out on the same day the 3DS does.

I heard about it. Nintendo does a lot of DS handhelds, don't they?
DS, DS Lite, DSi, DSi XL and now 3DS. It get's really confusing.

Well, we'll see how this one works out.

Um... pokemon black and white comes out quite a while before the 3DS for as far as I know, John. But I might have read that wrong.

Anyway, I hope Black and white is still for the normal DS, otherwise I'm getting pissed.

Wondering how it'll be though, 3D yet handheld. Hope they make pokemon stadium for it

I heard about this, some kid I know has this. I personally have my DS Lite.

It's pretty awesome. I wonder if they'll ever make this in emulator form. I can't stand handheld games. Gotta have at least a 15.6" laptop screen to play PK on.

It's funny how some people think this is just another upgrade of the old DS when really the 3DS is supposed to be a completely new system entirely. With enhanced graphics that could be borderline Gamecube level ontop of the autostereoscopic 3D screens. There also might be a force feedback and an analogue stick. The 3DS will also have backwards compatibility with previous-generation DS games which could be interesting to see with the 3D screen capabilities.

And no, Pokemon Black and White are not coming out for the 3DS, it was confirmed a really long time ago that it would be coming to the original DS.

No, it's not just an upgrade, the 3DS is a complete new system.

I hope that flash cards like R4DS or other cards will be produced for the 3DS!

Meh, it's just the name 'DS' that confuses me a lot.

Oh man! You guys won't believe it. The following is either one of the best Photoshop'd images I've ever seen, or is the real deal.

If it's not the real deal, we sure wish it was.

Possible 3DS Model?

Yeah, yeah! Call it an iPhone ripoff. Still looks sweet, though.

It makes sense that they'd make it have a larger screen with the 16:9 aspect ratio. Looks a little fat though.

I wonder how soon Nintendo will bring out yet another version of the ds.

Man, imagine how crazy awesome playing this thing is gonna be...holographic gameplay for the win!

If that is the real thing, I have to get myself a 3DS on release date.
