When Nintendo confirmed that the same game card slot on the 3DS would work with both original DS cartridges and the company's new 2GB 3DS cartridges, we knew the new cards wouldn't be all that different in appearance. Now we know exactly how similar they are thanks to Siliconera: basically the same as a DSi card, but with a small extra tab in the top corner. Meanwhile Nintendo CEO Satoru Iwata has hinted that the 3DS may be able to "automatically acquire newspaper and magazine articles" using its integrated wireless connection.

The Daily Slash: June 17th 2010
We're at the tail-end of the week, but that's not slowing us down. Welcome to tonight's edition of The Daily Slash. We're glad you could make it, as usual. Tonight, in the Best of R3 Media, we've got the Nexus One launching with Froyo, the Nintendo 3DS won't make it across the pond for awhile, and the iPhone 4's got some RAM under that hood. And then in the Dredge 'Net, Microsoft is promising a new mobile OS -- kind of, there's already someone waiting for the iPhone 4, and there's even more doubt about the HP Slate.

Nintendo 3DS won’t reach UK until early 2011
Would-be 3D gamers in the UK hoping to get their hands on some Nintendo 3DS sweetness may have to wait until early 2011, according to a "senior source" speaking at the company. According to T3, that source has confirmed the 3DS - which has a 3D-capable top display that requires no special glasses, and dual external cameras that can capture 3D visuals - won't arrive in the UK by the end of 2010, and will instead make its sales debut early in the new year.

Nintendo 3DS specs detailed; design could still change
Nintendo has outed specifications for the 3DS 3D-capable gaming handheld, though certain key details - such as what processor is doing all the hard work inside - are still unclear.

Nintendo 3DS Official: Touch Panel, 3D Without Glasses [Update]
It's been a rumor for a little while now, but Nintendo, at their press conference at E3 on Tuesday officially announced the Nintendo 3DS. Basically, it's 3D in your pocket. Nintendo spent the majority of their time on the 3DS, at least in the beginning, talking about how well their 3D works compared to the competition, especially considering there's no glasses needed. We're fans of that plan, for sure. And, just as we had heard rumored before, there's an option to turn the 3D on or off.

Why E3 won’t be as exciting as you think
With E3 2010 just a few days away, it’s now time to consider what Sony, Nintendo, Microsoft, and all the major developers will be delivering. The show is the biggest gaming confab of the year, and it stands to reason that all the secrets that developers and hardware companies have been keeping over the past year (or more) will be unveiled. That’s certainly the case in the past. E3 has been home to console announcements, additions to major franchises, and much, much more.
Nintendo 3DS mockup suggests asymmetric screens
This, according to Kotaku's mock-up artists, is what we should expect from the Nintendo 3DS when the 3D-capable gaming handheld makes its official debut at E3 next week. The design, based on a sketch by a Chinese blogger who apparently claims to have a 3DS development kit, certainly fits in with what we've seen before of Nintendo's testing hardware; the upper display would be the glasses-free 3D panel believed to be sourced from Sharp, while the lower would be a touchscreen of the same aspect ratio as the current DSi.

Nintendo DSi XL in Midnight Blue Coming to the US on July 11th
We're scratching our heads at this one. It's only been a week since Nintendo announced that there would be new colors coming to the DSi XL line-up, and while that was all well and good, there wasn't any announcement saying that the new shades would be seeing release anywhere else other than Japan. And then Nintendo sneaks this one in: Midnight Blue is coming to the States.

Nintendo 3DS “is cool” says EA CEO; 3D content distribution key warns Capcom CEO
It's obviously a week for games developer CEOs to drop hints about the upcoming Nintendo 3DS, the Japanese company's 3D gaming handheld, with both Capcom's Haruhiro Tsujimoto and EA's John Riccitiello talking about the device in recent interviews. Each exec was careful not to overstep Nintendo's NDAs ahead of E3, with Riccitiello only conceding that "I will tell you, I’ve seen it; it’s cool."

Nintendo 3DS, 3DSWare and 3DSPlay trademarks filed
Nintendo have been pretty coy in confirming the name of their upcoming 3D gaming handheld - with president Satoru Iwata teasing that "the final product name shall be announced in the not-so-far-away future" - but it seems increasingly likely that they'll stick with Nintendo 3DS. That's one of a handful of newly filed trademarks from the company, including "3DS", "N3DS" and, interestingly, "3DSPlay" and "3DSWare".

Nintendo 3DS to us widescreen displays, arrive by Christmas 2010?
New tidbits on the Nintendo 3DS are emerging, ahead of the 3D-capable gaming handheld's official launch predicted for the E3 gaming expo.

Sharp 3D camera module unveiled: headed to Nintendo 3DS?
Sharp are already tipped to be among the companies Nintendo is considering for the 2D/3D display on the upcoming Nintendo 3DS; how interesting would it be if they also supplied the handheld with a 3D-capable camera?
