Tech: The 3DS: Nintendo’s going third-dimensional with its next portable

  • No photos, just a press release. It’s secret. Nintendo has this way of pushing a new technology that’s never been tried in video games before and turning it into a smashing success. The latest? The 3DS, a backwards-compatible variant of the DS series which uses 3D screens. It could be super-interesting. source

Tech: Five differences between the Nintendo DS and DSi

  • one The DSi has an SD card slot, in case you want to jam out to your favorite whiny Emo songs while gaming.
  • two There’s multiple cameras on the DSi – both to shoot pics of you and your imaginary buddies.
  • three Like bigger screens? Of course you do! The DSi has two 3.25-inch matte (not glossy) screens.
  • four The DSi now packs the DSi Store, an App Store-style wi-fi download store, which is pretty awesome, kids.
  • five Sadly, there’s no GBA slot, so if you have some old-school games around, you’re screwed. source
