 Gaming powerhouse Nintendo has done it again! After the runaway success of the Nintendo Wii with its innovative motion control, the portable Nintendo DS the Japanese company has announced its latest breakthrough gaming device: the Nintendo 3DS.

 

Yes, the 3D definately stands for 3D gaming. After the runaway success of 3D in the movie industry with Avatar and Alice in Wonderland leading the way it’s only natural that the gaming world follows suit. Playing the game of a 3D movie in 2D doesn’t really seem fitting does it?

 

Nintendo knows that innovation is the only way to keep ahead of their mighty competitors, Microsoft with the Xbox and Sony with the PS3. And to a lesser extent Steve Jobs’ Apple with the iPhone and iPod Touch.

 


And ironically that’s Nintendo’s secret ingredient – the golden “Apple” touch from Cupertino. Not only Nintendo’s marketing is sometimes strikingly similar, also its innovation and design has clearly been influenced by Apple’s stunningly simple, modern design. Gone are the days of grey bricks & gameboys or the Nintendo NES. The NES was the company’s first gaming system which basically was an ugly box to plug in your games.

 

The nintendo 3DS is the successor for the hugely successful DS and DSi which have been sold well over a 125 million times! The console will be unveiled during the E3 gaming expo in Los Angeles next june! The fact that you don’t need 3D glasses to play the games will only add to its appeal, fingers crossed!
