It's Official: The 3DS Is Named The 3DS
When Nintendo first announced the 3DS back in March, we were told the name 3DS was just temporary. Today that name became permanent.
Satoru Iwata is showing off the 3DS to the crowd at Nintendo's press conference right now, and we'll have all the details for you soon. But as you can see from the picture, the 3DS copies the design of the DS, but has a larger top screen, and an analog stick. Oh yeah, and it can display 3D graphics without the use of glasses. Hence the name. We'll have more details in just a few minutes, plus extended coverage over the rest of the week.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
