For those on the lookout for the coolest new tech gadgets, Nintendo 3DS is for you.

Nintendo announced Nintendo 3DS, an immersive 3D gaming experience that lets people view games in 3D, without the need for special glasses. The new console was unveiled at the E3 Expo on June 15, 2010.

Nintendo also announced a substantial list of upcoming games for Nintendo 3DS, the Wii console and the Nintendo DS family of systems.

"The additional dimension of depth in 3D makes it easier for players to judge distances while giving developers a new tool to create games and experiences that play with both height and depth," said Nintendo video game designer Shigeru Miyamoto, who pioneered the fully rendered 3D video game world with Super Mario 64.

Nintendo 3DS comes with a 3.53-inch top screen and a 3.02-inch bottom touch screen. It has three cameras – one inner and two outer – to deliver the 3D effect and take 3D pictures. It includes a motion sensor, a gyro sensor and even a Slide Pad that allows 360-degree analog input.
