Nintendo 3DS
The Nintendo 3DS is a handheld game console produced by Nintendo, released in early 2011 as the successor to the Nintendo DS family of systems. It features two screens, with the bottom screen being touch-sensitive, and the top screen having the ability to display images in stereoscopic 3D without the need for 3D glasses, hence the device's name. It has a similar design to the Nintendo DS, with a D-pad, 4 face buttons, and 2 shoulder buttons, but it also features a control-stick style button known as the Circle Pad, and is more powerful internally.
Various variants of the 3DS were released after the original console, creating a family of systems. These include the 3DS XL, with a larger screen, the 2DS, a flat version without the 3D feature, and the New Nintendo 3DS, a slightly upgraded version. Almost all 3DS games work with all models of the system, and it is also backwards compatible, meaning games for the DS and DSi are still playable on the 3DS.
The Pikmin franchise is featured in some of the software and hardware available for the Nintendo 3DS.
