The Nintendo 3DS (tentative name) is an upcoming handheld game console by Nintendo, which can produce "3D effects without the need for any special glasses." Scheduled for release in the fiscal year ending March 2011, the handheld will succeed the Nintendo DS series of handhelds, which primarily shares the handheld console market with Sony's PSP. The Nintendo 3DS will feature backward compatibility with Nintendo DS series software, including Nintendo DSi software.
Announcing the handheld on March 23, 2010, Nintendo plans to announce additional details on June 15 at the 2010 Electronic Entertainment Expo, where they'll also be inviting people to play with the handheld. According to industry analysts, the timing of Nintendo's announcement, which has drawn attention away from the launch of the company's still-new Nintendo DSi XL handheld, was likely intended to preempt impending news leaks about the product by the Japanese press.
According to the Japanese industry news website Nikkei.com, Nintendo plans to include "a 3-D joystick and a force feedback system" in the Nintendo 3DS, for which the company acquired related patents at the end of 2009. The website states that Nintendo is also considering incorporating an accelerometer for features such as tilt control, and that the Nintendo 3DS will feature "significant improvements" in wireless communication and battery life while providing compatibility with Nintendo DS series software.
Nikkei.com reports that the screens for the Nintendo 3DS "will likely be no larger than 4 inches". The 3D effects for the Nintendo 3DS are currently speculated to be based on autostereoscopic imagery generated by liquid crystal displays with parallax barrier technology. According to Japanese newspaper Asahi Shimbun, the Nintendo 3DS will likely consist of autostereoscopic 3D LCD panels by Sharp Corporation. An announcement by Sharp of a new 3.4-inch autostereoscopic touchscreen on April 2 (shortly after the announcement of the Nintendo 3DS) has led to speculation that it will be the same screen used in the Nintendo 3DS.
It had also been speculated that Nintendo 3DS would use displays by Hitachi, based on the fact that the company furnishes LCD screens for the Nintendo DSi, and already produces a mobile phone in Japan featuring a 3.1-inch autostereoscopic display. According to consumer technology blog Engadget, both Hitachi and Sharp are to build the displays for the Nintendo 3DS.
