Nintendo 3DS is a revolutionary hardware release that brings 3D gaming to the handheld market. It has several notable hardware features such as a 3D screen which incorporates both an upper and lower LCD display in a clamshell layout. This stereoscopic 3-Dimensional display gives objects within the game world a feeling of space and depth that extends far into the back of the screen. The system also has a 3D Depth Slider that lets players select the level of 3D they enjoy the most. The 3D effect can be ratcheted up to the highest level, scaled back to a more moderate setting or even turned off completely. Whether players are twisting their systems side to side, or moving it up and down, their motion-compatible Nintendo games respond instantly. Combined with the touch screen, traditional buttons, camera and microphone input, and advanced motion control of the Motion Sensor and Gyro Sensor, the potential is extraordinary. The graphics are sharp, crisp, colors pop and overall it is pleasant on the eye. The array of colours on offer is surprising and there is definitely one to match every mood. Analog stick is responsive, easy to use, and fans can say Nintendo finally heard taken the feedback of its consumers seriously. The unit also has improved rich and vibrant sound system. The stylus feels classy and has amazing adjustability. Dock your Nintendo 3DS system whenever you are not using it in the included Charging Cradle to keep it powered. Social and wired like no Nintendo system before it, Nintendo 3DS brings fellow players together with StreetPass communication.

Nintendo 3DS, when put into Sleep Mode, can act as a pedometer, while letting users earn Play Coins for the steps they take that can then be traded in for additional content in compatible games and applications. By accessing the Activity Log, users can check their steps as well as their play time. With Nintendo Sound, users can enjoy sound-manipulation tools or rock out while listening to their MP3 or AAC music files.
