Nintendo 3DS



The Nintendo 3DS handheld won't be as fast as a PlayStation 3 or an Xbox 360, and it won't let you play older DS and DSi games in 3D. But it will do lots of cool stuff. The 3DS looks stunning, with a spectacular 800-by-240, 3D-capable widescreen and a second, 320-by-240 touchscreen, all housed in an 8.1-ounce package. It will let you take 3D pictures with dual cameras, play "augmented reality" games, and see new games and native software in 3D without special glasses. The handheld's widescreen will allow you to manually adjust the depth of its 3D effect—and even knock the action down to regular 2D if you don't need the extra dimension.
