Nintendo 3DS Price and Availability in the US

July 6th, 2010 General, Technology

I’ve been itching to grab and play with the new Nintendo 3DS. I’ve been waiting for it to be released in the United States because I want to buy it and witness its awesome new feature, the 3D thing. This is the first 3D device that you can see the actual 3D without using 3D glasses.

Isn’t it really awesome? All 3D animations or moving objects inside a screen or an LCD as of now requires 3D glasses. This is a major breakthrough in the world of 3D. It’s portable and you can see Mario popping out of your Nintendo gaming console.

I will also download DS games here so that I can still play with my good old Nintendo DS Games. 3DS is said to be backward compatible. You can still play your good old DS games and DSi games.

Anyway, you can read more about 3DS and it’s price and availability here. More updates about Nintendo 3DS will be posted soon!
