The '''Nintendo 3DS''' is Nintendo's current portable console. The 3DS' most noticeable feature is the ability to project stereoscopic 3D effects without the use of 3D glasses or other accessories. The Nintendo 3DS succeeds the original Nintendo DS series of handheld consoles. It also features backwards compatibility with the Nintendo DS systems. Its top screen is also slightly larger than the DS' top screens for deeper gameplay.
 
The Nintendo 3DS was officially announced on March 23rd, 2010. It was released in Japan, North America, Europe and Australia in early 2011, specifically in North America on March 27th, 2011, just a year after its official announcement. Its launch price was $249.99 USD, however on August 12 the same year the price dropped to $169.99. Worldwide, the 3DS has been released in seven different known colors: Aqua Blue, Cosmos Black, Flame Red, Pearl Pink, and Midnight Purple, in North America; in Japan, there are two other colors: Cobalt Blue and Ice White.
 
The input on the Nintendo 3DS is the same, with a few new things added. To the right of the bottom touchscreen players have the {{button|3ds|A}} {{button|3ds|B}} {{button|3ds|X}} {{button|3ds|Y}} button array. To the left is a newly added {{button|3ds|Stick}}, and underneath it is the traditional {{button|3ds|Pad}}. Underneath the touchscreen are the {{button|3ds|select}} {{button|3ds|home}} and {{button|3ds|start}} buttons. To the right of the {{button|3ds|start}} button is the Power button. On the back are the {{button|3ds|L}} and {{button|3ds|R}} bumpers and the {{button|3ds|Stylus}} compartment. The {{button|3ds|Stylus}} can be extended to a player's comfort.
