Get to know the new Nintendo 3DS system. Real 3D graphics, no glasses required.
The bottom screen utilizes the touch-screen stylus controls that made the Nintendo DS famous, but the top-screen displays rich, glasses-free 3D visuals. The 3D Depth Slider allows you to select the level of 3D that looks best to you, or you can turn the effect off completely and still enjoy playing 3DS games, as well as many DS games you already have. A built-in motion sensor and gyro sensor react to every movement and tilt of the system, allowing you to twist and turn your way through 3D environments, and the new Control Pad will allow for 360 degrees of the precise movement and responsiveness of an analog stick.
