Nintendo’s New Contender: 3DSIt seems that Nintendo unveiled its 3DS 3D portable gaming system at the 2011 Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas and reports by Lance Ulanoff of PCMag.com are that “the glasses-free 3D effect and feeling of immersion on the relatively small screen is fairly remarkable.” The review of the Nintendo’s newest contender goes on to say that the latest gadget has “three cameras, one on the face and two on the back; and the rear cameras are for 3D photography (you can’t take the images off the 3DS, but can view them on the 3D screen or use them to create your own 3D Mii) and augmented reality.”The company was not actually at the CES opting instead to hold a series of private meetings in an adjacent hotel to the convention site. It was there that the company offered journalists such as Ulanoff the opportunity for a real-time look and hand-on experience with the gaming company’s newest technology. Ulanoff reports that “Nintendo hasn’t announced final pricing or an exact ship date beyond (March); however, the company is planning a major product event later this month, where they’ll go into further detail on all the Nintendo 3DS features,” and when he joked with the company’s representative about whether or not the 3DS was “also a phone” he received a light-hearted response that no, it was “not a phone.”Also, while no titles have officially been announced, it’s a good guess that their holdings such as The Legend of Zelda, The Ocarina of Time, Nintendogs cats, and Dead or Alive, will be available 3D style, and rumor has it that the initial offering will be along the line of ten titles to select from.
