Template:System The Nintendo 3DS (ニンテンド, 3DS Nintendō Surī Dī Esu) is a Nintendo handheld console and the successor to the Nintendo DS.

Models

Nintendo 3DS

The Nintendo 3DS features two screens, one of which is a touch screen, one inner camera and two outer cameras, a gyroscope, and a built-in microphone. The top screen is also able to display stereoscopic 3D images and videos. The console is also backwards compatible with the Nintendo DS and DSi, as well as selected DSiWare titles. The Nintendo 3DS has its own Virtual Console library, which offers games from previous handheld systems.

A special limited edition 3DS bundle was also released. It included a black console marked with the Wingcrest, the Template:It, the Goddess's Harp, and all letters in gold, plus a copy of Ocarina of Time 3D.

Nintendo 3DS XL

A larger version of the console, named Nintendo 3DS XL, was also released, featuring 90% larger screens. A special limited edition 3DS XL bundle was also released. It included a gold and black Zelda-themed console emblazoned with the Triforce on the top and bottom, and an eShop code to download the digital version of A Link Between Worlds.

Nintendo 2DS

The Nintendo 2DS features a new slate design rather than the clamshell design of the previous models. It also lacks the console's signature 3D display. The console was released as a cheaper alternative targeted primarily to younger audiences.

New Nintendo 3DS

The New Nintendo 3DS features an upgraded processor, increased RAM, a second analog stick, two additional shoulder buttons, face detection for optimizing the stereoscopic 3D display, built-in NFC, and interchangeable cover plates. A larger version of the console, named New Nintendo 3DS XL, was also released. This model is the only one available in North America.

Two special edition New Nintendo 3DS XL were also released. The Majora's Mask edition featured a black console with a gold top and bottom with Majora's Mask and the four transformation masks. In Europe and Japan, it included a digital copy of the game pre-installed into the system. The Hyrule Edition, exlcusive to GameStop retailers, also featured a gold top and bottom with the Wingcrest.[1]

Trivia

  • In Phantom Hourglass, when visiting the Temple of the Ocean King, Link must press a sacred crest against his Sea Chart so it can be transferred. In order to do so, the console must be put into sleep mode while inspecting the sacred crest. On the Nintendo DS and 3DS, this is done by closing the system, thus "pressing" the map and the crest together; while playing the game on a 2DS, despite not being physically closed when in sleep mode, it has the same effects.[2]
