The Nintendo 3DS is the next Generation of handheld gaming from Nintendo. Like previous Nintendo DS consoles, the 3DS features dual LCD screens, with the lower screen being a stylus-operated touch screen. The top screen can display stereoscopic 3D via a process called autostereoscopy. The 3DS is also backwards compatible with Nintendo DS and Nintendo DSi-enhanced software, as well as select DSiWare titles. The Nintendo 3DS was released on February 25, 2011 in Japan, March 27, 2011 in Europe and March 27, 2011 in North America.
