The Nintendo 3DS was the fifth handheld video game console developed by Nintendo (tenth if you include the Game Boy Advance SP and all the different versions of the Nintendo DS). Bringing back the double and touch screen feature from the Nintendo DS, the 3DS added full 3-Dimensional visuals for the first time in video gaming history!
