Nintendo 3DS

Nintendo 3DS combines all the functionality of 3DS XL at an even more affordable price. Play 3DS and DS games, take 3Ds photos, and connect with friends with StreetPass and SpotPass.

Nintendo 3DS includes two screens. The bottom touch screen makes use of a telescoping stylus that is stored in the unit itself. The top screen displays 3Ds visuals to the naked eye. Looking at the screen is like peering through a window into a world where characters and objects have true depth. The system also has a 3Ds Depth Slider that lets players select the level of 3Ds they enjoy the most. The 3Ds effect can be ratcheted up to the highest level, scaled back to a more moderate setting or even turned off completely, depending on the preference of the user.

3Ds Screen

The Nintendo 3DS system opens up a whole new world of eye-popping gameplay possibilities. The stereoscopic 3Ds display of the upper screen gives objects within the game world a feeling of space and depth that extends far into the back of the screen. It becomes easier to see the position of characters and obstacles in the world, making many game experiences even more intuitive for all types of players.

3Ds Depth Slider

A built-in 3Ds Depth Slider allows you to immediately adjust the intensity of the 3Ds settings on the Nintendo 3DS system to your liking. The 3Ds effect can also be turned down completely – all Nintendo 3DS games and applications can be played in 2Ds, and look better than any Nintendo handheld before it.

Motion Sensor and Gyro Sensor

Portable play control reaches a new level with these amazing features, allowing for new and unique gameplay mechanics. A built-in motion sensor and gyro sensor can react to the motion and tilt of the system, so whether players are twisting their systems side to side or moving them up and down, their motion-compatible Nintendo 3DS games respond instantly.

3Ds Camera

The Nintendo 3DS system uses its two outer cameras to see the world in 3Ds, much like the human eye. This allows for the creation of 3Ds photos, 3Ds video, and even 3Ds stop-motion animations, that make for an eye-popping addition to your next photo op.
