|congen=8 |pokegen=V? |type=Handheld |colors=Final Colors TBA The Nintendo 3DS (Japanese: ニンテンド３ＤＳ Nintendo 3DS) is Nintendo's 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 were revealed at E3 in 2010, with graphics reminiscent of a GameCube game being shown. The 3DS will, as expected, be fully compatible with Nintendo DS games, as well as its own games, while the 3D depth-sensing features will be able to be adjusted at-will using a slider on the right side of the top screen. The top screen will be slightly wider than the bottom, with a 16:9 aspect ratio, while the system itself will feature a control stick dubbed the "gyro pad", in addition to the normal D-pad featured on all prior handhelds.
