The Nintendo 3DS (Japanese: ニンテンド３ＤＳ Nintendo 3DS) is Nintendo's tentatively-named upcoming eighth generation handheld game console.

Announced in a March 23, 2010 press release^[1], the Nintendo 3DS is said to be fully backwards-compatible with all Nintendo DS games. Its revolutionary feature, however, is that it will be able to display 3D graphics that will appear to move in space depending on the direction that the system is facing, possibly using a facial tracking technology.

More details on the 3DS will be released at E3 2010. Many presume that the upcoming Generation V games, which are announced to be for the Nintendo DS, will have enhancement on the 3DS. This was the case with the non-Japanese version of Pokémon Yellow, which was a Game Boy title that made better use of the Game Boy Color palette than previous games (including the Japanese version). It is also notable that Pokémon Gold and Silver were playable on the Game Boy despite being officially treated as Game Boy Color games (and taking advantage of the system's features), which might turn out to be the case for later Generation V games.
