It could be real, but it does seem very suspect. Nintendo making an announcement about making an announcement? That's not their style.

Does Nintendo pull April fools pranks? No... Or at least I think they don't.

Hmmm... I'm a bit mixed on this. 3D effects sound gimmicky just as motion control does on the Wii. I'll reserve judgement until we at least get a picture, but it doesn't sound all that impressive yet sorry to say.

They haven't even released the DSi XL yet have they? And the DSi wasn't even out for a year before they released that. Nintendo are going to fast :<

Maybe this will be like what the Virtual Boy was supposed to be, but hopefully without the utter failure that came with it.

We'll just have to wait and see.

Haha God I hate Nintendo these days, but those marketing boys who contribute to the hardware sure are geniuses. First they came out with the DS which was difficult to pirate, because you had to use the mouse as a stylus and still push buttons which was more complicated on the actual unit. Now emulation flat out won't work unless you have not only a 3D screen, but a 3D screen with the specifications of the 3DS's capable of rendering it identically.

I wouldn't consider it next gen. Handhelds kind of go seperate from consoles. The DS has been out now for a long time though, and it's showing it's age worse than the Wii. I think a new handheld is a good idea.

If it is an 8th-gen console, and 3D is their new addition, then that's severely lacking. I was in support of the DSi because it's same-gen and added some nice new features, but fora future handheld I was expecting to see something more. I'll reserve judgment for when footage is revealed, though.

This is Nintendo we are talking about, their current gen console IS a last gen console wrapped up in a gimmick, and it's severely lacking in almost every department.

As far as the 3DS, benefit of the doubt, nothing has been absolutely announced nor has the device been shown. It's been confirmed to have some sort of joystick this time, and it has 3d LCD screens, that's about it. I honestly find it odd that you were in support of the DSi, which added trivial features, yet removed a very important feature, and charged people way more than what it was worth, but aren't in support of a new handheld with higher specs.

3D without the need of special glasses? That's awesome for a glass-wearer like me

Yeah. Kinda like how the Game Boy Advanced wasn't a Game Boy, the 3DS isn't a DS.
