{{Translation|'''Nintendo 3DS'''|ニンテンドー3DS|Nintendō Surī Dī Esu|abbreviated to '''3DS'''}} is a portable game console that was produced by Nintendo. It is the successor of the [[Nintendo DS]]. The Nintendo 3DS is a autostereoscopic device capable of projecting stereoscopic 3D effects without the use of 3D glasses or additional accessories. Nintendo announced the Nintendo 3DS device in March 2010 and officially unveiled it at E3 2010 on June 15, 2010.

Fortunately, there were also some [[Dragon Quest (series)|''Dragon Quest'']] games for the system.

==History==
The ideal of creating a console that gives 3D capacity was already since Nintendo begin experimenting with 3D technology in the 1980s. The Famicom 3D System was Nintendo's first product that enabled stereoscopic 3D effects which only few titles has been released such as ''Famicom Grand Prix II: 3D Hot Rally'', but due that the Famicon 3D System failed to garner market interest it was never released outside of Japan. Another console has been created by Nintendo that contains also 3D capacity named the Virtual Boy that has been released in the 1990s but evenly after more then a million copies has been sold, the Virtual Boy has also been considered as a failure under 3D technology. Nintendo president Hiroshi Yamauchi encouraged additional 3D research in an effort to use the technology in the exhibition. Although the project fell short, Nintendo was able to collect valuable research on liquid crystal which would later aid in the development of the Nintendo 3DS.

===Revealing===
Nintendo revealed the appearance of the Nintendo 3DS at Nintendo's conference at E3 on June 15, 2010. The video game website IGN reported that "several developers who have experienced 3DS in its current form", the system possesses processing power that "far exceed[s] the Nintendo Wii" and with 3D shaders, they could make games that "look close to current generation visuals on the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3". They also cited "several developer sources" as saying that the system does not use the Nvidia Tegra mobile chipset. The first game that as been revealed was the new type of game of ''Kid Icarus: Uprising'' after a long time of the series. Afterwards different other game series then has been announced that new titles will also be available on the Nintendo 3DS.

===Nintendo Network===
The Nintendo 3DS is the first console system that supports the new Nintendo's network infrastructure known as Nintendo Network. Nintendo Network is the successor of the Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection service mostly used on the Nintendo DS console series. Nintendo outlined that the Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection was created as a way for developers to experiment with their own network infrastructures and concepts, whereas the Nintendo Network is fully unified network service. On the Nintendo 3DS, Nintendo Network allowed developers to create games with universal multiplayer without the need to enter Friend Codes for each person in a multiplayer game. This makes it much easier and more flexible for players to play with each other over the internet.
