Nintendo has said that its next handheld will feature glasses-free 3-D graphics and will be called the Nintendo 3DS. But since making a rather cryptic announcement in March, the company has said nothing.
Now, a Chinese blog has posted details of what it says is Nintendo’s next-gen DS, and gaming blog Kotaku has worked up those notes into a pretty rendering.
“The effect of the [3D] screen is amazing,” the blogger wrote, as translated by Kotaku.
The details come from someone who claims to have access to the 3DS development kit, Kotaku says. According to the report, the lower screen is the same size as the current Nintendo DS, but the upper screen is much bigger (and in 3-D, naturally).
Is this the real deal, or just another wayward rumor? We’ll probably find out next week, when Nintendo takes the stage at E3 Expo, which starts Tuesday in Los Angeles. Tune in to Wired’s GameLife blog next week for the full details, where Chris Kohler and crew will be liveblogging Nintendo’s keynote, as well as providing full coverage of announcements from Sony, Microsoft and other companies.
