LOS ANGELES--As detailed in GameSpot's hands-on with the 3DS from this year's Electronic Entertainment Expo, Nintendo has made sweeping changes to both the cosmetic and the internal structure of its best-selling handheld. With 3D functionality being the top-line addition, Nintendo has also increased the size and resolution of the top screen, amped up processing power, and added new cameras, motion sensors, a gyroscope, and an analog stick.
The 3DS will reportedly support zero-dimension game carts. The publisher apparently didn't stop there, though. As relayed by Andriasang, Japan business daily Nikkei reported today that the 3DS will also let gamers install multiple full games to the handheld's internal memory. Installed games can then be selected from the 3DS's main menu.
Nikkei reportedly did not delve into the number of games that can be installed or any specifics of the process. However, it did state that the feature eliminates gamers' need to carry cartridges with them while on the go.
Nintendo had not responded to requests for comment or clarification of the report as of press time. The publisher has yet to announce a release date or pricing information for the new system.
