During the last few weeks, Game Podunk predicted Sony and Microsoft E3 2010 to see what they may have in store. Now Game Podunk covers Nintendo to complete the big 3 E3's Primer.

Virtual Boy Part Deux: Meet the Nintendo 3DS

Announced ahead of E3 due to leak concerns, we know that, despite the recent launch of the Nintendo DSi XL, Nintendo has a true successor for the DS line planned and that it’s in 3D. We also know that the 3D does not require glasses and can be turned off for those who experience headaches or cannot see 3D. On top of that, we know that it won’t actually be called the Nintendo 3DS. While backwards compatibility with DS games is likely, it’s hard to say if that will carry over to DSi Ware as well. It might seem like Nintendo is spreading its portable line thin, especially with their acknowledging of Apple as a competitor, but, if done right, the 3DS could prove staggering competition for both Apple and Sony. It’s going to be an interesting product to see, and could very well be the talk of the show.
