Yep.

It's going to be called the 3DS, will allow for 3D without special glasses, and will be released sometime before March 2011. Backwards compatible with DS and DSi, more details coming at E3..
DAYUM.

Without glasses
That's pretty awesome if it looks really nice
Still won't get a DS though
I was going to make a thread, but I thought it'd get locked because it seems like such a rumory rumor.

'Cause if so, that's even more badass
Its from nintendo's website :P

I know, but I was getting it from other sources in the games journalism industry. Not firsthand, mind you.

They're "leaking" it, I bet
Their new Zelda is going to fucking sweep up at E3 and they probably don't want either of these to lose the limelight
"Virtual Boy 2: This time it won't suck, we promise!"
And 2ch was fast:

SHIT.
edit: For a bit more of a substantive post, this is really weird. I was totally expecting motion controls / tilt sensors, larger screens, and a bump in graphics. Not... this.

Get ready for New Super Mario Bros. 3D!

Haven't seen you in awhile man. (I probably haven't been looking hard enough though.) I still remember you as the guy who ran the first Xbox 360 megathread.
Man, was that really five years ago?
It's truly amazing how they eat up Nintendo news. No community in the entire internet will compare to the sheer ball munching they give every Nintendo product.
I hope to God they don't put the FFVII remake on this thing.
That's all I have to say.

Something like that would be pretty darn cool, but I have to admit that I can't picture Nintendo using current graphics anymore.
I was still hoping more for Wii HD, but I'll keep an open mind. At least I won't have to buy a DSi XL now.

In Gaf's defense (lol) this has precedence. The DS itself was one of those systems that came out of nowhere and ended up being (arguably) one of the best systems this gen.

What? GAF is clearly sony territory, between the endless fields of Killzone 2 gifs and people claiming the Uncharted (the original one) has better graphics than Crysis with a straight face.
If anywhere is accused of being pro-Nintendo, it's here.
It's not even hinted at
But now if it comes to pass
I'm coming after you
Anyone who seriously thought that the DS would be a complete failure was drinking the Patcher/iSuppli kool aid, the slow launch non-withstanding
I've read that comment here before, and....
No.
Seriously, no.
The day Playstation 4 gets announced, they'll crap on it almost more than they'll praise it.
Nintendo on the other hand?

Yeah, that's the thing
It had a really slow launch, with its biggest launch game being a port of an N64 game
And the original hardware sucked so much, holy shit
But then the DS Lite came and was pretty awesome
Uh we were the exact same way here.

That's a press conference livethread. Have you SEEN the press conference livethreads we have here all the fucking time?
It's pretty much the same thing.
And yes, NeoGAF is pretty solid Sony territory. Half the avatars on there are either Uncharted or Killzone. They're mostly mature about it, and that's not to say it's a fanboy forum, and they love Xbox and Nintendo too. But if you don't think NeoGAF has a huge hard-on for Sony, you're kidding yourself.

So, can't really say they stole this one
man, WHAT?
EVERYBODY thought it was going to be a failure. The internet was nothing BUT jokes about the DS for the period between announcement and a month or 2 after launch. It was worse than the Wii name announcement.
I preordered my DS phat and was the only person at gamestop when they opened that morning. Only time I've ever seen such a slow launch day.
Well I do like my Sony jokes. I'll take it!
Seriously though, I think this could be neat. However I bet it will be impossible to play 3D stuff if the sun is shining right on the system. I can already barely see my DS and PSP when that happens.
After Microsoft announces Prenatal.
There is a fine line between "innovative" and "gimmicky" and Nintendo is toeing it big time.
