Nintendo has released a surprise press release today outlining plans for the 3DS - a new portable game machine, on which games can 'be enjoyed with 3D effects without the need for any special glasses'.

Nintendo 3DS - which is a working name, will succeed the Nintendo DS series and will include backwards compatibility for the rest of the Nintendo DS series, including DSi.

If you're wondering how it might look, check out these three YouTube vids:

1) A 3D DSi game that alread 'does' a kind of 3D without glasses.

2) A Hitachi phone that does the same.

3) A classic YouTube vid that shows a guy doing a kind of 3D-ish effect with Wiimotes and IR sensors.

I hate the 267.
