The Nintendo 3DS is the latest portable video game console made by Nintendo, which can display "3D effects without the need for any special glasses". Like the Wii it has a Mii system, allowing you to create your own personal avatar. It was released in Japan on February 26, 2011, on March 25, 2011 in Europe and on March 27, 2011 in the United States. The Nintendo 3DS allows you to play 3DS games in 2D or 3D. A slider lets the player change the level of 3D in the game. It also allows one to play Nintendo DS games, but only in 2D. It comes with extra channels, such as Nintendo Video, Nintendo Zone, and Swapnote. The system has a camera on the inside, and two cameras on the outside. All three cameras are 3D, and allow you to take pictures in 3D and shoot videos up to 10 minutes long in 3D.
The Nintendo 3DS was first shown at the Electronic Entertainment Expo 2010. [source?]
On August 12, 2011, Nintendo cut the price of the 3DS to $170. People who got it when it was at the higher price of $250 got 10 free Nintendo Entertainment System games, along with 10 free Game Boy Advance games from the Nintendo eShop. [1]
A bigger version, called the Nintendo 3DS XL, was shown to the public on June 21, 2012. This version has screens much larger than the 3DS's, and has bigger buttons. [source?]
