Nintendo 3DS Console (Aqua Blue)

What is the 3DS? The rumours had been round for ages but that didn’t stop everyone’s jaws dropping the moment Nintendo officially unveiled the 3D follow-up to its DS handheld. Especially as it doesn’t require cumbersome 3D glasses to enjoy its startling effects and even offers 3D picture-taking and movie-watching! Featuring the traditional dual-screen the top 3.5-inch gaming display is designed to produced crisp 3D images while the bottom 3D-less display works as the touch panel. The sleek little machine also promises improved graphics capabilities over previous DS models as well as incorporating new motion-sensor controls which Nintendo is confident will lead to interesting new gaming ideas from developers. What else can it do? While the 3D visuals were enough to get fists punching the air in excitement Nintendo also proudly showed off its new built-in camera with two camera lenses enabling you to take photographs in 3D! Plus it also carries the potential of watching 3D films on the machine with Nintendo demoing trailers from upcoming 3D movies from Disney Dreamworks and Disney. Better than those silly little screens on backs of airplane seats eh? To complete the announcement Nintendo revealed a tantalising list of third-party publishers currently working on titles for the forthcoming system. This included an exclusive Metal Gear Solid adventure DJ Hero 3D and high-speed racing game Ridge Racer.
