Nintendo jumped on the 3-D bandwagon Tuesday, saying the next generation of its DS handheld video game console would come with a 3-D display and go on sale within a year.

would doubt the accuracy, but not sure WSJ would state rumors as fact.
doesn't seem that have much faith in the DSi XL

*edit* it's legit apparently, all the major gaming news sites have articles now.

3D,3D,3D....blah blah blah...

I hope they are not trying to pull off 3D using 2 screens that trick your brain into creating one 3D image..

In other words, a DS held sideways and the right distance from your head..

No, they wouldn't do that.. never mind..

:checks calendar:
Hmm... not April 1st....

If I were to guess, I would say they are layering one screen on top of another. I've seen a computer monitor in a store once that would do 3D that way and watched someone play a FPS. It wasn't a bad effect. I found a Samsung monitor that is similar.

Could be cool, but I guess we will see what they show @ E3.

Is This How 3D Will Work On The Nintendo 3DS?

Looks kinda cool actually..

Well it's confirmed by Nintendo all over now.

Really weird. Will show it off at E3.

I think by telling people this now, they can actually build up some press hype to watch their E3 Presentation, because the press has traditionally hated it for the pas 2 to 3 years.

Id imagine it'd be like this.

Viewing angle may still be a problem but with a handheld I dont think too many people will make a fuss.

3D on a handheld.

Hm... why?

Does look cool. That would likely make good use out of the accelerometer.

yeah I think lots of "3D" coming from everybody and his brother will be what I like to call "depth 3D" where you don't get any effect coming "out" of the screen, but only the effect of like a play on stage.
