The 3DS is the name of Nintendo's successor to the Nintendo DS handheld gaming platform. The brand was originally revealed to be tentative and a project title, but the official name was locked down at the Electronic Entertainment Expo in June 2010
While there are several enhancements that the Nintendo 3DS brings to the current Nintendo DS form factor, the official "hook" with the 3DS will be its ability to display stereoscopic 3D effects – similar to theatrical movies such as Avatar and How to Train Your Dragon -- on the screen (or screens) but without the need for special glasses.
Other new features include improved processing power, two camera lenses on the outside of the system (for 3D photos), an analog controller called the "Slide Pad," motion-sensing accelerometer and gyroscope, an infrared port, a "home" button that mimics the Wii controller interface, and a telescoping stylus.
The system retains the internal camera, the microphone, and the touch-sensitive lower screen of the Nintendo DSi, though the resolution of the bottom screen has been increased from 256x192 to 320x240.
