You're obviously not going to be able to appreciate the 3DS' 3D effect on your monitor, but there's still a lot going on with Nintendo's upcoming handheld. A video posted on Nintendo of Japan's Web site shows off some of that functionality, including the way data is passed on from user to user.

The clip also shows how the camera can be used to automatically generate Miis (cue hurt feelings) and interact with cards in some kind of augmented-reality thing. It's all set against a terrifying vision in which the world's non-3DS-owning population has been replaced with penciled outlines. Could Nintendo be sending us a message?
