According to the wikipedia article:

Quote

The Nintendo 3DS (ニンテンドー3DS Nintendō Surī Dī Esu?, tentative name) is an upcoming portable game console by Nintendo, which can produce "3D effects without the need for any special glasses." Scheduled for release in the fiscal year ending March 2011, the portable will succeed the Nintendo DS series of handhelds.

Announcing the device on March 23, 2010, Nintendo plans to announce additional details at the 2010 Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3), scheduled for June 15–17, when the company will invite people to play with the console.

If the rumors are true, the 3DS will have graphics power equivalent to the Xbox 360 & PS3... Though I am skeptic about that. I would expect a processor better than the old DS, but somewhere around the Wii's horsepower.

I mean.. if Nintendo unleashed a handheld system more powerful than the Wii.. that would be a market killer. :blink:

My poor PSP. This new DS could kill it. :bleh:

I agree. There needs to be a difference between typical war-themed FPS's. All of them look similair.. and have the same concept. Shoot enemies.. reach point B from point A, and then complete the game.  :blink:
