Nintendo 3DS Handheld Console


3D Screen
Like previous handhelds released by Nintendo, the Nintendo 3DS incorporates
 both an upper and lower LCD display in a clamshell layout. The lower screen
 features familiar Nintendo touchscreen technology, is 3.02" (2.42" wide x 1.81" high)
 with 320 x 240 pixel resolution and is capable of displaying 16.77 million colors,
 but the groundbreaking upper 3D screen of the Nintendo 3DS system is where 
Nintendo opens up a whole new world of eye-popping gameplay possibilities. 
This 3.53" display (3.02" wide x 1.81" high) is capable of displaying approximately
 the same 16.77 million colors, but with 800 x 240 pixel resolution. 400 pixels are
 allocated to each eye to enable 3D viewing. This stereoscopic 3D display gives
 objects within the gameworld a feeling of space and depth that extends far into 
the back of the screen. This amazing depth of field effect vastly increases the
 ability to see the position of characters and obstacles in compatible game, 
making many game experiences even more intuitive for all types of players.
3D Depth Slider
A built-in 3D Depth Slider along the right side of the top display allows you 
to immediately adjust the intensity of the 3D settings on the Nintendo 3DS 
system to your liking. The 3D effect can also be turned down completely if 
the player so chooses. All Nintendo 3DS games and applications can be
 played in 2D, and look better when played on the Nintendo 3DS than any
 Nintendo handheld before it.
Motion Sensor and Gyro Sensor
Portable play control reaches a new level with the Nintendo 3DS' Motion
 Sensor and Gyro Sensor combination. Together these precision built-in
 features allow for new and unique gameplay mechanics as the 3DS reacts
 to real-time motion and tilt. Whether players are twisting their systems side
 to side, or moving it up and down, their motion-compatible Nintendo 3DS 
games respond instantly.
Circle Pad Analogue Control
With the Circle Pad, located above the + Control Pad, Nintendo 3DS 
offers full analogue control in 3D game worlds. Combined with the touch 
screen, traditional buttons, camera and microphone input, and advanced
 motion control of the Motion Sensor and Gyro Sensor, the potential is extraordinary.
3D Camera Functionality
Along with a digital camera facing inwards towards the player, the Nintendo
 3DS system features two outer cameras positioned along its upper edge
 when device is open. These two cameras see the world in 3D, much like
 the human eye, allowing for the creation of 3D photos - and a similar 3D
 effect to that seen in Nintendo 3DS games. All cameras feature 640 x 480
 resolutions with single focus lenses that use the CMOS capture element
 and an active pixel count is approximately 300,000 pixels.
Adjustable Stylus
The adjustable Nintendo 3DS Stylus takes the idea of touch control to a new
 and even more user-friendly level. Once removed from the holder, the stylus
 length can be adjusted to your liking with a simple push or pull. Now anyone
 can achieve the optimum level of comfort while playing games that use the stylus.
Cradle Charging
Dock your Nintendo 3DS system whenever you are not using it in the included
 Charging Cradle to keep it powered. You can then leave the system on in Sleep
 Mode while charging, so that it can communicate via the SpotPass feature at
 any time of day or night.

Other Key Features

StreetPass
Social and wired like no Nintendo system before it, Nintendo 3DS brings fellow
 players together in exciting new ways with StreetPass communication. Set your
 Nintendo 3DS to Sleep Mode and carry it with you wherever you go to exchange
 game data like Mii characters, high scores, and custom characters with other
 users you pass on the street. You control what data you exchange and you can 
exchange data for multiple games at once, making virtual connections with real
 world people you encounter in your daily life.
SpotPass
Nintendo 3DS includes SpotPass, a feature that lets Nintendo 3DS detect 
wireless hotspots or wireless LAN access points and obtain information,
 game data, free software, videos and so on for players even when the system
 is in sleep mode.*
2 GB SD Memory Card Included
Every Nintendo 3DS system comes packed with a 2 GB SD memory card.
 You can use this SD memory card to store your 3D photos, and sound
 recordings created on the Nintendo 3DS system, and music** from your PC. 
You can also use it to store games downloaded from the Nintendo eShop. 
The Nintendo 3DS system has SDHC card compatibility to increase your storage
 space even further.
Backwards Compatibility
Almost all existing Nintendo DS and Nintendo DSi games can be played on
 a Nintendo 3DS system in 2D. With backwards compatibility, your existing 
portable games look and play just as well.***
Wireless Communications
Nintendo 3DS utilises a frequency of 2.4 GHz, enabling local wireless 
communication among multiple Nintendo 3DS systems for game play and
 StreetPass, as well as access to the Internet through wireless LAN
 access points (supports IEEE802.11 b/g with the WPA/WPA2 security feature).
 Recommended distance of wireless communication is within 98.4 feet.
 This can be shorter depending on the environmental situation.
