Tech Series, Part Three: The 3DS

3DS

 I have devoted this entire post to this console, so what is so amazing about this 3DS? It has glasses free 3D! This amazing new technology allows the viewer to see 3D on the top screen, although the bottom screen, the touch screen, is still in 2D.

The 3DS is backwards compatible, so you can still play all your favorite DS games.

The device has a total of three cameras: Two cameras on the outside of the 3DS work together to create a 3D image, and there is a 2D camera in the inside.

The 3DS has the capability to create Miis. You can import Miis from your Wii, or make them by a picture taken by one of the cameras.

The system has several announced games, including the highly anticipated return to the Kid Icarus series with Kid Icarus: Uprising. Not to mention several remakes of exceptional Nintendo 64 games such as The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D, and StarFox 64 3D.

The 3DS will be released in Japan on February 26, 2011, and in North America sometime in the month of March.

Now this system has not come out yet; so nothing I have said is for certain. Although anything said on the official site is pretty much for certain. See you next time for the fourth part of this series!
