The Japanese Nikkei has reported on some more still-unconfirmed details of the Nintendo 3DS, which was just announced yesterday.
So far what is confirmed is that the 3DS will not require special 3D glasses, will have full support for DS and DSi games, and will be officially unveiled at the E3 event in June.
The Nikkei adds, via CrunchGear:
- Nintendo says the 3DS will be the first device of its kind.
- It will be sold, probably in Japan first, in the latter half of this year.
- Nintendo considers giving the 3DS a 3D joystick, force feedback and an accelerometer.
- The company already secured patents for several 3DS-related technologies last year.
- Compared to its 2D-based predecessors, the new device will feature improved wireless communications speed and battery life.
- The screen will be not be larger than four inches (the DSi XL’s screen is 4.2 inches).
The price is still up for debate, as is when it will become available in the U.S.
