The '''Nintendo 3DS''' is a handheld console developed by {{C|Nintendo}} and was released in March 2011. Its most notable feature is its ability to produce stereoscopic 3D effects without the need for any special glasses. It succeeds the {{C|Nintendo DS}} series of handhelds and features backward compatibility with almost all the Nintendo DS's catalog of games, including [[DSiWare]] and other DSi-specific software. In June, its first patch was made available, and the [[Nintendo eShop]] became its official online store for additional content. The Nintendo 3DS was officially unveiled on June 15, 2010 at the Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3). | |||

During a Nintendo Direct broadcast on June 21, 2012, Nintendo announced the existence of the 3DS XL. This was a relatively minor change, increasing the overall size of the system, slightly improving the battery life, and making the screens 90% larger. The system came out July 28, 2012 in Japan and Europe and in August for America and Australia. In Japan and America, this date coincides with the release of [[New Super Mario Bros. 2]]. | |||
