Nintendo made a tease of an announcement today that it will release a new handheld called the Nintendo 3DS.
The only information in its paragraph-long press release aside from its name is that it is planned to be fully backwards compatible with all DS and DSi games, will launch in Japan within the next fiscal year and more details on the console are set to be released at E3 beginning June 15.
That miniscule amount of information hasn't (and won't) stop media mongers from speculating exactly what the Nintendo 3DS will be. Is it just another upgrade to the DS? An entirely new handheld plateform? Will it even play games in 3D?
We have seen videos across the internet about 3D motion via head-tracking a la some sort of camera.
Arcs Technica posted a video showcasing how the 3DS could function by using the DSi camera as the unit for head tracking:
