Nintendo have announced today that the successor to the Nintendo DS will be called the ‘Nintendo 3DS’. This won’t be just another version of the DS, but a new console entirely. It will have full 3D functionality without the need of special 3D glasses or accessories, and will be completely compatible with previous DS and DSi games.
The 3DS is also thought to believe (though not 100% confirmed) that it will have high detailed graphics (possibly the equivalent of the Gamecube, as the patten goes) and the possibility of a motion sensing device. With the success of the Wii, it would be silly not to. It is also said that it will utilise the Nvidia Tegra 2, which would be sweet.
The Nintendo 3DS is set to be released during Nintendo’s next financial year, between April 2010 and March 2011. Could this mean a pre-Christmas release? More details are due to be unveiled at this year’s E3, on June 15th.
I don’t know about everyone else, but I am sure excited about this. Let’s just hope it is more successful than the Virtual Boy ended up.
