About the Nintendo 3DS
The 3DS is a revolutionary console made by the masters of handheld (and some might argue all) gaming – Nintendo.
The 3DS is unique in that it is the first ever portable console to feature 3DS gaming. Using autostereoscopic technology the 3DS can deliver true 3D visuals without the need any special equipment or glasses.
The 3DS is also backwards compatible with all Nintendo DS software (but sadly does not offer any way of ’3Dizing’ older games, but who knows what a future firmware might bring).
The handheld was first announced in March 2010 and released in Japan less than a year later, coming out in February 26 in Nintendo’s homeland, before being released a month later in Europe and America.

Hardware
The 3DS boasts a PICA200 custom graphic processor, and like its DS predecessors, sports two screens, which are out of sight when closed up in its clamshell case. The top screen is the one used for 3D whilst the bottom screen offers a touch screen interface.
The 3DS also has two forward facing cameras, which allows the 3DS to take stunning 3D photos, and also a camera facing the user, allowing games to capture user faces whilst suffering a humble victory of savouring a glorious win!
The 3DS also supports wireless network play with its built-in 2.4GHz 802.11 WiFi connection.
