Interesting next handheld console from Nintendo here, the 3DS. A natural progression from their previous models, or a serious attempt to be the leader and put innovative next generation technology into their consoles again. I like this idea, the 3D concept and for this device the parallax barrier 3D technology suits a small single user device such as this perfectly as the user usually has their head in a single place while viewing the screen. The twin 3D cameras on the outside case is a nice touch, but it's crying out for 3D inner cameras too so it could do face to face 3D video chat! Perhaps that's for the 3DSXL or whatever the next slightly better version's going to be. This is probably a precursor to the Wii2 which will more than likely have 3D output capability via HDMI like the XBOX and PS3 are already capable of. It will be interesting to see how well this does. The console is released on the 25th March 2011, and is looking like it will retail in the UK for around £230.
