Nintendo's Next Portable System is the 3DS

Nintendo announced a successor (term to be taken loosely) to the DS (or is that DSLite, or DSi, or DSiXL?). The temporary name "3DS" has been bestowed upon it.  No, that doesn't mean it's going to have three screens instead of two.  Nintendo states that, "games can be enjoyed with 3D effects without the need for any special glasses."  And that it will also be fully backwards compatible with the current DSLiteiXL library.

This is where we are all supposed to make Virtual Boy 2 jokes, but somehow Nintendo has been pulling these gimmicks off for a good while now.  This seems like a bad idea to me, but you have to put me in the category of people that think the current 3D graphics are so badly blocky that they could poke your eye out.  Now you're going to put them on a 3D screen where they MAY ACTUALLY POKE YOUR EYE OUT.
