Since technology for such a feature is not yet available, it can be safely assumed that Nintendo is sitting on a golden egg, one that will keep the other portable gaming consoles lagging even further behind. Further information about the Nintendo 3DS will be revealed by the company at the E3 event this year, which starts June 15th in Los Angeles. The new Nintendo 3DS will also be backward compatible with the Nintendo DS and Nintendo DSi
