Nintendo Announces 3D Successor of Nintendo DS

Posted by Soulskill on from the had-to-check-my-calendar dept.

An anonymous reader writes "Nintendo has posted a press release (PDF) titled 'Launch of New Portable Game Machine,' promoting a new, upcoming handheld game console temporarily named the 'Nintendo 3DS,' which will feature 3D graphics without the need for any sort of special glasses. It will be backward-compatible with DS and DSi games." An article at Kotaku speculates on how the 3D tech will work. The launch window is vague — sometime between April 2010 and March 2011. More details will be revealed at E3 in June.

    You clearly have never played Super Mario Galaxy. I keep hearing how Mario 64 supposedly was revolutionary, but Galaxy is IMHO the first platformer that's truly 3D (as in the game mechanics, not presentation). And while I can understand that some people don't like platformers, you got to hand it to Nintendo - what they do, they do very well. Better than all the other studios, in some genres.
