Nintendo confirmed the name of its 3D handheld system at the 3DS at its E3 2010 press briefing.
Downloadable titles will be available at launch, and no glasses will be required to see the 3D effects. Shown off at the conference, the new handheld has a 3.5 inch widescreen display for its top screen with a smaller bottom touch screen. Nintendo says the unit will have improved graphical capabilities. It will also have an analog control input in addition to a D-pad and four face buttons.
The unit will feature a slide pad, a gyrosensor, and motion sensor on the handheld. It's compatible with Nintendo DSi games. The 3DS has two camera lenses on the outside so you can also take photos with the 3DS and view them in 3D. The 3D effects are controlled by a slider on the unit, so in that sense they're optional.
Nintendo also mentioned the 3DS will be able to display 3D Hollywood movies, from Disney, Warner Bros., and Dreamworks.
The hardware in the 3DS supports wireless communication regardless of what software is being played, and can access the web through Wi-Fi access points.
