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 DS|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 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 accelerometer and a gyroscope. | The '''Nintendo 3DS''' is a handheld console released by [[Nintendo]].

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. If another player is registered through StreetPass, he or she is normally invited into the 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 accelerometer is used when the system is closed for a feature called "[[StreetPass]]", where the system registers steps as the player is moving.

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]]''.
