So, is this diagram stating the screens would be horizontally oriented as opposed to the vertical orientation of the existing DS units?
Meh, I'm cool with the DS as is, I still think the main purpose of the 3DS is to make the full transition from 2D to 3D in portable gaming.
This is more or less the same kind of technology that's used for lentiuclar 3D posters, cards, etc. that have been around for decades - except in electronic form. At least this is the start of not having to hear people showing how shallow they are by complaining about 3D glasses.
I just hope it has better games than the DS.......the selection of games on DS is pretty lame....only one that was any good was Ninja Gaiden: Dragon Sword.
@The-Excel: No. Just like 3D posters that have been around for quite a while, the idea is to use a filter just above the actual screen to make sure that each eye gets a separate image when looking normally at the screen.
20 years handheld domination...Nintendo showing no signs of giving up.
I'm already first in-line for the 3DS in 2011 ^_^

I want another remake of Super Mario 64 for the 3DS just so I can screw with Mario's face at the start screen in 3D.
So if I'm understanding this right it's going to be a shield in front of the actual screen and that shield will be made of the stuff that 3D Glasses' lenses are made of?
If it is then it's exactly what I pictured it would be.

@JQM78 - If you can't find at least a dozen DS games you like, then there is never going to be a handheld console with what you would consider a good selection of games. I could make a list, but I find lists are ineffective. Instead, I want you to consider the DS games that, years after their release, poke into the NPD top ten. Games like New Super Mario Bros. Wii and Mario Kart DS.
The DS has games so good that they sell forever. If you don't like them, then maybe handhelds aren't your thing.

Agreed with Hcapt,
anyone who complains that the DS doesn't have good games just clearly doesn't like handheld gaming, and probably never will.

Actually, I like handheld gaming quite a lot, but not on the DS. When the top games on the DS are Pokemon and a million variations thereof along with a few puzzle games here and there, its not the handheld for me.
The top ten DS list on gamefaqs is more than enough reason for me to dislike what the DS has to offer. I do enjoy the Castelvania games though, its the only reason I own one.

@Genius Pokemon is one of the great games on the DS but it's definitely not the only. I would give you a list but my I don't feel like writing a novel.
@Genius
You do not like great Zelda games in your pocket? Super Mario RPG, New Super Mario Bros., Metroid Prime, Kirby?
You, my friend, are hard to please.

OHH i see... it will have that vertical line thing for the 3d illusion. hmm. but this ds will be the most crazyest thing nintendo ever puts out =D so far it will have
1: "HIGHLY DETAILED" 1080p HD graphics
2: 3d to go along with it
3: an accelerometer for motion controls
almost confirmed 4: 3g internet connectivity
this is all i need to buy a new ds. WHY DIDNT NINTENDO MAKE THE WII THIS GOOD???
but knowing nintendo they always find SOME way to fxck it up. they make u get excited then BOOM you find out something gay >_>

@Dv8thwonder
I wont argue if its a great game or not, I'm sure its fun for the generation that loves Pokemon. However, I will say its not a game I am interested in, as with most of the library of "popular" games. I guess I don't understand how there can be so many Pokemon games and nobody calls it hash.
From my personal observation, the age range that DS games shoot for is much lower than what the PSP shoots for. That doesn't mean people outside that range can't enjoy those games, but I think I fall into the demographic that does not enjoy them.
DS games I own: all 3 CV games, NEW SMB, Meteos, Mario Kart, Yoshi's Island, and Super Robot Taisen. I've had the DS since release.
@ Furnimus
I havent bought Zelda yet but thanks for reminding me, I will get it. I will see how Kirby is as well. Im also furiously awaiting the new Golden Sun game.

Now we've seen the tech prototype behind it, I seem fairly impressed by how it'll work. Not sure how people with sight difficulties are going to see the 3D transition, however...
@Genius The DS is for all. There are no demographics involved. I think you need to broaden your horizons as a gamer. A couple of RPG's or RTSes couldn't hurt IMO.
I got a friend on a forum that was born with one functional eye (i.e., has both but only one works) She was afraid something like this could be what they would come out with. But well, we still don't know enough about it.
I'm really debating on (since my DSlite mysteriously dissipated on an airplane) whether I should pick up a xl or wait for the 3ds....
@Robotic: I'm really happy with my XL. I would just wait for E3 and see what Nintendo has up their sleeves. They always seem to surprise me even if I think I have them all figured out.
"While nobody seems to care about it much, Nintendo is showing off a new 3D game system in a couple of months."
Well I for one care about it. I can't wait to see what the 3DS is all about at E3, why wouldn't people care about it? Its going to be the next generation of handhelds that will be around for the next 5, or 6 years to come. So most people will end up caring about it eventually!

Well, this all sounds interesting. But, I'm not getting suckered until I see some decent games. And by decent, I mean Zelda.
@MesonW
I doubt it... Though if they can isolate one of the images with a screen grabber they should be ok.
After all, they were able to get Virtual Boy screenshots:
