Console Chronology (by Original Release)
<-- Nintendo DSi Last Console Out
 This box: view  talk  edit 

The Nintendo 3DS is a handheld console released by Nintendo. It features two screens, one, the top screen, with 3D capability, and the bottom screen, with a touch screen. It was released in Spring of 2011. The first details of the new system were revealed at the E3 Conference of 2010. Similarly to its predecessor, the Nintendo DSi, it features a camera inside the system, albeit above the top screen. The exterior has two cameras, capable of taking three-dimensional photographs. It also has a slider, which is used to raise or lower the strength of the 3D graphics. The system also has a "Home" button, with a similar function to that of the Wii, and a digital control slider, like the Control Stick of home consoles, while retaining the "traditional" controls of the Nintendo DS series. The system will be backwards-compatible with all Nintendo DS games.

Augmented Reality Cards

The six AR cards packaged with the 3DS.

Built-in software utilizes the DS camera to "read" AR cards, initiating game stages or 3-dimensional character animations. The cards included in the 3DS package feature the familiar ? Block from the Mario Series, Mario, Link, Kirby, Samus Aran, and Pikmin.
