That’s right people. Nintendo is rolling out another type of DS to the already long Nintendo DS series. Like the DSi was different than the DS series, so will be the 3DS. So…what makes this one unique? That’s easy: it’s ability to show 3D effects.

No, it doesn’t require 3D glasses so don’t worry about being punched at school for wearing such goofy things. It will also be backwards compatible with the previous DS models — DSi / DSi XL / DSi LL / DS Lite / DS — so don’t worry, it’ll play those games without a problem.

There’s not that much information floating around at this point about how these 3D effects are achieved, but one thing is for sure — it’ll be cool and innovative. More information will be available after E3. To the 3DS — we await your arrival with great anticipation and hope that you do not disappoint us! No release date is available yet either. If you don’t care for waiting on this new 3DS release, then you could always purchase a Nintendo DSi XL / DSi LL instead. They’re pretty cool as well. Wondering what’s the difference between a Nintendo DSi and a Nintendo DSi XL / LL? Here’s a comparison with a picture comparison too: Nintendo DSi vs DSi XL – Comparison of Features.
