Nintendo has announced the Nintendo 3DS, a glasses-free 3D mobile gaming console, as the successor to the DS and DSi.
The full unveiling is set for E3 2010 this June; however, the company does say the device will offer backwards compatibility with current games and will launch "during the fiscal year ending March 2011."
Engadget has combed Japanese news sites to learn that the device achieves its glasses-free 3D by using a parallax barrier LCD from Sharp. The screen is said to be smaller than 4 inches diagonally.
Other features include a 3D control stick, improvements in WiFi transfers and battery life, as well as a new vibration function.
