The '''Nintendo 3DS''' is the successor to Nintendo's DS handheld. The autostereoscopic device is able to project stereoscopic three-dimensional effects without requirement of active shutter or passive polarized glasses, which are required by most current 3D televisions to display the 3D effect. The 3DS was released in Japan on February 26, 2011; in Europe on March 25, 2011; in North America on March 27, 2011, and in Australia on March 31, 2011. The system features backward compatibility with Nintendo DS series software, including Nintendo DSi software except those that require the Game Boy Advance slot. It also features an online service called the Nintendo eShop, launched on June 6, 2011, in North America and June 7, 2011, in Europe and Japan, which allows owners to download games, demos, applications and information on upcoming film and game releases. On November 24, 2011, a limited edition ''Legend of Zelda 25th Anniversary 3DS'' was released that contained a unique Cosmo Black unit decorated with gold Legend of Zelda related imagery, along with a copy of ''The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D''.

There are also other models including the [[Nintendo 2DS]] and the [[New Nintendo 3DS]], the latter with a larger (XL/LL) variant, like the original Nintendo 3DS, as well as the [[New Nintendo 2DS XL]].
