DS | Nintendo reveals 3D DS
Japanese console manufacturer to launch new, 3D-enabled version of its handheld called the 3DS.
Nintendo has announced a new version of the DS console which will support 3D games. The 3DS will play games with 3D effects "without the need for any special glasses", according to the Japanese company. It will launch this fiscal year, meaning it could arrive any time between April 2010 and March 2011.
Nintendo describes the system as a successor to the DS series, but it will also play DS and DSi titles. The 3DS is a temporary name according to Nintendo's short press release, but more details on the machine will be revealed at this year's E3 convention.
The 3DS will be Nintendo's fifth iteration of the DS hardware. The original DS was launched back in 2004 in the US and Japan, and 2005 in Europe and Australia. Since then, the DS Lite and DSi have been launched worldwide, slimming the machine down and offering brighter screens. The DSi XL is the latest version of the hardware, and launched earlier this month in Europe and is set to arrive in the US on March 28.
Earlier this year, Nintendo president Satoru Iwata said a new DS would feature a "high level of visual quality," as well as sensors to read a player's movements. However, he has also been dismissive of existing 3D technology, saying,''I have doubts whether people will be wearing glasses to play games at home. How is that going to look to other people?"
Late last year, Sony revealed PlayStation 3 support for 3D games via a firmware upgrade due for release this summer.
