Best Hanukkah Gifts for Tweens 2009

In Nintendo News, fans of the handheld nintendo ds series are in for a sweet surprise. Nintendo is releasing a new 3D version of the Nintendo DS, temporarily named the Nintendo 3DS and get this: there will be no need for silly 3D glasses while gaming.

The handheld Nintendo DS has done pretty well for itself spawning three different versions (Nintendo DS, Nintendo DSi, Nintendo DS Lite, and soon the Nintendo DSi XL and Nintendo 3DS) and grossing over 125 million units as of the end of December 2009. After the Nintendo DSi and DS Lite, with rumors of a DS2, Nintendo DS fans were left thinking, "What the heck are those crazy people at Nintendo thinking of now?" The answer: 3D gaming with the new handheld Nintendo 3DS.

This new 3D handheld gaming platform will surely change the way games are played - or give you seizures - and Nintendo plans to release full info of the Nintendo 3DS at E3 2010, which takes place in June. For some reason Nintendo couldn't keep the joy of the new Nintendo 3DS to themselves and decided to release information confirming the 3DS before E3 2010, from the official Nintendo website.

The good news concerning the new Nintendo 3DS is that you won't be forced to wear annoying 3D glasses or goggles in order to enjoy Nintendo 3DS games and that all Nintendo DS games will be backwards compatible with the new handheld Nintendo 3DS gaming system.

With the Nintendo Wii, Project Natal, PlayStation Move, and now the Nintendo 3DS, it appears that we've finally arrived at the future of gaming where controllers aren't necessary, body movement and faces are recognized by games, and we are finally able to play games in full 3D. Nintendo has always been an innovative gaming company and I'm sure they won't let us down. Hopefully 3D gaming works out well and more 3D gaming platforms and handheld systems will be released in the future. Keep your ears and eyes open at E3 2010 for more news on the new Nintendo 3DS handheld gaming system.
