Similarly to the [[Nintendo DS]]i, the Nintendo 3DS 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 3D effect can be observed without the need of special glasses or headgear through the use of a [[wikipedia:parallax barrier|parallax barrier]] in front of the backlight. The system also features an [[wikipedia:accelerometer|accelerometer]] and a [[wikipedia:gyroscope|gyroscope]]. | Similarly to the [[Nintendo DS]]i, the Nintendo 3DS features a camera inside the system, albeit above the top screen.

The accelerometer is used when the system is closed | The accelerometer is used when the system is closed for a feature called "[[StreetPass]]", where the system registers steps as the player is moving. This feature is intended both to track the player's steps and to register any players who are passing by. Other players registered via StreetPass are invited into the player's StreetPass Mii Plaza. For every 100 steps, the player can accumulate up to ten play coins each day. Play Coins can be spent in the StreetPass Mii Plaza to purchase a random puzzle piece. They can also be spent in ''Find Mii'' and ''Find Mii II''. Additionally, there are a number of compatible 3DS games that incorporate Play Coins into the gameplay. A similar system was previously used in the game ''[[wikipedia:Personal Trainer: Walking|Personal Trainer: Walking]]'', and the [[bulbapedia:Pokéwalker|Pokéwalker]]. | ||
The gyroscope is used as a form of motion control in games where the player tilts the Nintendo 3DS, such as ''[[lylatwiki:Star Fox 64 3D|Star Fox 64 3D]]''. Incorporated into the Nintendo 3DS is preloaded software called "Face Raiders" which has the player tilting the Nintendo 3DS to shoot faces that they took using the Nintendo 3DS Camera. A similar system was previously used in the Nintendo DSi for games such as ''Face Training'' and ''[[mariowiki:WarioWare: Snapped!|WarioWare: Snapped!]]''. | The gyroscope is used as a form of motion control in games where the player tilts the Nintendo 3DS, such as ''[[lylatwiki:Star Fox 64 3D|Star Fox 64 3D]]''.

[[File:Kirby AR Card.png|thumb|200x200px|The Kirby AR Card]] | |||
The Nintendo 3DS has built-in software to "read" AR cards, initiating game stages or 3-dimensional character animations. The cards included in the 3DS package feature a Question Block from the ''Mario'' series, [[mariowiki:Mario|Mario]], [[zeldawiki:Link|Link]], [[Kirby]], [[metroidwiki:Samus Aran|Samus Aran]], and [[pikipedia:Pikmin|Pikmin]]. | |||
===StreetPass Mii Plaza=== | |||
StreetPass Mii Plaza is one of multiple software preloaded with the Nintendo 3DS, meant to incorporate the StreetPass feature. Other players met through StreetPass and Nintendo Network compatible games are introduced into the StreetPass Mii Plaza. It is possible to view several attributes about players, such as their favorite title. The music will change depending on how many players have been gathered. Included in the StreetPass Mii Plaza are minigames known as Puzzle Swap and ''Find Mii'' (''StreetPass Quest'' in British English). | |||
In December 2011, a system update introduced new puzzle panels, collectible hats and a sequel to the original ''Find Mii'' game, known as ''Find Mii II'' (''StreetPass Quest II'' in British English). ''Find Mii II'' is only playable after completing the original ''Find Mii'' game twice. | |||
===amiibo=== | ===amiibo=== | ||
The New | The New 3DS design is compatible with [[amiibo]], which can be scanned in by placing the base on the lower screen during certain moments in compatible games. The original 3DS is not natively compatible with amiibo, but an accessory can be bought to compensate for this. | ||
==='' | ===''Puzzle Swap''=== | ||
[[ | ''Puzzle Swap'' has the player exchanging 2 Play Coins for one puzzle piece, or obtaining one puzzle piece from another player met through StreetPass through the "Collect New Pieces" option. The puzzle pieces are added to panels representing a certain game or Nintendo series. The player starts with a single Puzzle Panel. It is normally impossible to unlock pieces for another puzzle panel without interacting with another player, however certain puzzle panels such as ''[[icaruspedia:Kid Icarus: Uprising|Kid Icarus: Uprising]]'' were available through promotions. | ||
One of the available ''Puzzle Swap'' panels is a 5x3 piece puzzle based on [[Kirby]]. Kirby poses on a field while a [[Parasol Waddle Dee]] can be seen falling in the background. There are also puzzles themed to specific ''Kirby'' games: ''[[Kirby's Return to Dream Land]]'', ''[[Kirby's Dream Collection Special Edition]]'', ''[[Kirby: Triple Deluxe]]'', ''[[Kirby: Planet Robobot]]'', and a puzzle dedicated to both ''[[Dedede's Drum Dash Deluxe]]'' and ''[[Kirby Fighters Deluxe]]''. | |||
=== | ===''Find Mii''=== | ||
Kirby makes a cameo in the original ''Find Mii'' game as one of the collectible hats. The Kirby hat can be obtained by clearing room 7 for the first time. | |||
