hey what's going on everyone I'm Jeff Bakalar from cnet com we're here live at CES 2011 I'm here with the Nintendo 3ds is our first look at the device it comes out in March you don't have a price yet but it is the successor to the Nintendo DS I and the nintendo DS lite it does 3d gaming if you notice the top screen here displays a 3d image without the need for 3d glasses pretty incredible below is a standard touch screen on the back to camera lenses allow you to take 3d photographs which is really cool talking more about the 3d screen it has a 3d slide adjuster so you can customize the 3d effect you can make it more intense or even eliminate it altogether it's backwards compatible with Nintendo DS games which is really cool so you can play those old games and it's going to be juicing doing something called StreetPass which allows this to communicate with other 3d esas that you pass by on the street or in your home we don't know all the details about that yet but we hope to find out more in mid-january in terms of size the 3d s is similar to what you see on the DS Lite and it has a very nice way to it as well up front is a headphone sport up front also is an analog stick and then a deep head below that and then the conventional for buttons that we're all used to on Nintendo portables that's going to do it for the 3ds here at CES 2011 I'm Jeff Bakalar for cnet com thanks for watching
