Sun, GoldenEye, Mickey Mouse, Kid Icarus, Animal Crossing, Nintendogs,
PilotWings, Paper Mario …

LOS ANGELES–(Business Wire)–
Nintendo is raising the bar – again.

Nintendo changed the world of video games with touch-screen gaming on the
Nintendo DS™ in 2004. Nintendo then pioneered the motion-controlled gaming
revolution with the Wii™ console and the Wii Remote™ controller back in 2006.
Today the company unveils an even more immersive gaming experience: Nintendo
3DS™.

At the E3 Expo today, Nintendo gave the world the first look at a portable
system that lets people view games in 3D, without the need for special glasses.
Nintendo also announced a substantial list of upcoming games for Nintendo 3DS,
the Wii console and the Nintendo DS family of systems – a lineup that reads like
a who`s who of some of the greatest franchises in video game history with a
completely new look and feel.

“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. At the E3 Expo, Nintendo showed
attendees a range of games and applications for Nintendo 3DS that reinvent some
of the industry`s most beloved franchises. These include:

* Kid Icarus™: Uprising, the long-awaited franchise follow-up to the NES™
classic.
* Mario Kart™, which shows off the potential of driving and tossing bananas in
3D.
* nintendogs™ + cats, a new version of the best-selling nintendogs franchise
that lets players interact even more with their virtual puppies – and kittens!

Island.

franchise.

space using Nintendo`s well-known franchise.
