The '''Nintendo 3DS''' was the fifth handheld video game console developed by [[Nintendo]] (tenth if the various iterations of the [[Game Boy]], the [[Game Boy Advance]], and the [[Nintendo DS]] are considered). The 3DS is essentially a DS with much more powerful hardware, comparable to that of a [[Wii]]. The handheld's most unique feature is its autostereoscopic screen - stereoscopic 3D can be viewed on the top screen without the use of special glasses.
