Nintendo Announces 3D Successor of Nintendo DS 232
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.

Between April of this year and March of next year? Details to come in June? So if it launches in April, we wont find out about the tech until June?

That's easy. The user closes the left and right eye rapidly in an alternating fashion and in sync with the stereo signal switching.

Your point of view is right, thank you for sharing, if you have the time, also came to see my site...
If you're going to spam forums, at least learn a bit about the culture there. No self-respecting Slashdotter would start a post how you did.

I'm looking forward to all of the "Use both of my eyes? Why would I want to do that? I also prefer my games in black and white, and with subtitles held up between scenes rather than hearing the dialogue. Also, I have live musicians sit next to me on the bus and play the game music." comments.

As a cyclops who doesn't see in 3D anyway, I have no interest in the gimmick. Don't you do this to me Nintendo! :(
