Ok! The Nintendo press conference at E3 just finished. Here are the facts:
Nintendo 3DS will have two screens, the top is 3D, the bottom is 2D and is a touch screen. Auto-stereoscopic, of course!
Users can control the level of 3D depth with an analog slider.
The 3DS will feature a stereoscopic 3D camera!
The 3DS features a gyro and motion sensor.
Nintendo 3DS will be wireless and have a content download feature at no extra cost. The connections are supposed to be completely automatic and happen without the user knowing. Not sure about the legality of this for privacy reasons, but I'm sure Nintendo thought of this already.
Nintendo already has backing of several third party game developers including EA, THQ, Ubisoft, Capcom Entertainment, and more.
The 3DS will be able to show 3D Hollywood movies, and is already demonstrating trailers on the show floor.
Wow! Looks like 3D is really taking the cake at E3 this year! Share your thoughts below.
This is cool! And actually one of those small applications where autostereoscopic display have their niche even today. I'm probably picking one up myself when available.
Interesting ,
Apparently only the bottom screen will be touch sensitive .
Keep an eye on Hitachi and Sharp , I think there going to be the first to release full size 3D TVs Glasses free.
This video has nothing to do with the 3DS, the console is a DSi and the rendering is not 3D. This sort of rendering only adapts the viewpoint depending on the orientation of the console, but both eyes are seeing the same image.
This technique was already possible on other platforms like the iPhone thanks to his accelerometers, as in the game Diorama which could be used with anaglyph glasses too.
Its finally real. This thing is going to be huge. If it takes off it will be the start of 3d gaming finally going mainstream. I think its going to be a great success. I hope they make Mario Tennis as a homage to the Virtual Boy.
Also, I do like the prospect of buying hollywood movies on it (maybe via an SD card?). Then I can save some money on a home theater and just get the 3DS.

Which Video are you talking about? The one in the link that shows the 3DS in its prototype stage?
AFAICS, you did only post one video, so yes, it must be that one. And no, it's not a 3DS prototype, it's a DSi playing the japanese game Rittai Kakushi e Attakoreda which is available on DSiWare.

This Video is alot better. To bad we can't see the actual 3D unless it is in are hands.
