source: http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/technology/8582438.stmNintendo is planning a 3D version of its popular DS handheld games console.
The move is a response to the whirlwind of attention being given to 3D content and devices. Rival Sony plans to launch 3D games and TVs later this year.
Most 3D systems require users to wear special glasses but Nintendo said that its system will not need such add-ons.
Nintendo described the 3DS - as the device is likely to be called - the successor to the DS, which has sold over 125 million units worldwide.
Nintendo said that the new console will be compatible with existing games.
It said the games console will be available at some point either this year or early 2011 and promised more details at the E3 games show in June this year.
This is what I like about Nintendo, even though they don't have the latest graphics and fastest processors in their products, they know how to release a good product at the right time. I don't know how well this will catch on but it could be pretty awesome. The article also mentions that it will be compatible with existing games and it won't need any glasses, so win win. I might have to pick up one of these to play some Advanced Wars in 3D!
