To Whom It May Concern:
Re: Launch of New Portable Game Machine

Nintendo Co., Ltd. (Minami-ward of Kyoto-city, President Satoru Iwata) will launch "Nintendo 3DS"(temp) during the fiscal year ending March 2011, on which games can be enjoyed with 3D effects without the need for any special glasses.

"Nintendo 3DS"(temp) is going to be the new portable game machine to succeed "Nintendo DS series", whose cumulative consolidated sales from Nintendo amounted to 125million units as of the end of December 2009, and will include backward compatibility so that the software for Nintendo DS series, including the ones for Nintendo DSi, can also be enjoyed.

We are planning to announce additional details at E3 show, which is scheduled to be held from June 15, 2010 at Los Angeles in the U.S.

Another Update: speculation (not confirmation) from Nikkei, courtesy of neo2046:

Prints money...?

[Ogris]

Let me make one thing clear

THIS IS NOT A NEW DS IT IS A BRAND NEW HANDHELD THE 3DS IS ONLY A PROJECT NAME!!!!, and 5th gen pokemon are already in production, it might be a launch title?

Also the prints money thing is a joke, look it up on youtube

Prints money...?

It most certainly does. Yet another useless staple-on to the original DS so Nintendo can milk a couple more euros out of us.

Did you read my post above yours? It's a new handheld, NOT A NEW VERSION OF THE DS

I loathe Nintendo with a burning hatred anyway, so this seems boring to me.
