Absent in the original design of the 3D 3DS

The 3D was not part of the original design of 3DS, Nintendo has revealed. According to Japan's Famitsu magazine (translation Andriasang) by Hideki Konno responsible for developing the handheld, it was only after 2008 that the company has begun to think seriously about Japan's implementation of 3D in its new handheld console.

The design of the successor to the Nintendo DS started after the completion of the DS, due for launch in Japan dates back to 2004, Konno and when he joined the development team, Nintendo already have several prototypes that would serve as the basis for the development of 3DS. Nintendo's initial goal, Konno reveals, was to create a backward compatible handheld.

When he began to think concretely to 3D, Konno claims to have conducted several tests with 3D panels connected to the Wii. Konno is also just a fun 3D version of Mario Kart to look to the naked eye, and that was the starting point for the final design of the handheld. The 3DS will turn on and off as you like 3D, but this option has been added at a later time, also says Konno.

The Nintendo 3DS debut in a few days in Japan while in Europe the new handheld console from Nintendo will be available in March.
