The '''Nintendo 3DS''' is a handheld video game console released by [[Nintendo]]. The console is the direct successor to the [[Nintendo DS]]. It is competing in the eighth generation of video game consoles alongside the {{S|wikipedia|PlayStation Vita}}.

The console is slightly less powerful than the [[Wii]], and has an [[wikipedia:Autostereoscopy|autostereoscopic]] 3D screen which allows a player to see an alterable level of 3D without the need to wear glasses. It also features a gyroscope, an accelerometer, and a touchscreen. The 3DS also features a wireless mode, active even in sleep mode, that renders it able to passively share information with other nearby 3DS systems, known as StreetPass. A mode similar to StreetPass, SpotPass also allows the 3DS to download data from the internet when the 3DS comes in range with a Wi-Fi hotspot. While moving, the built-in pedometer also allows the user to earn [[Play Coin]]s. One Play Coin is earned for every 100 steps walked. The 3DS is fully backwards-compatible with the majority DS games, though it lacks a Game Boy Advance port that some DS games use. The built-in online shopping software ''Nintendo eShop'', however, allows for the download of NES, Game Boy, Game Boy Color, and other third party handheld console games. Game Boy Advance games were also offered on the ''eShop'' via promotion once.

Nintendo first spoke of the console prior to the 2010 [[E3]] press conference, and Nintendo released the system in Japan on February 26, 2011 and to North America in March 27, 2011.
