Nintendo have a great history of releasing amazing, innovative products that capture the imagination of the public. From the original Gameboy and Tetris, through the Gameboy Colour, Gameboy Advance, Gameboy Advance: SP, Nintendo DS and, finally, the Nintendo 3DS (of which there are a couple of additional models.)

Despite the Nintendo 3DS being five years old the sales continue to be strong; with games like Super Smash Brothers and Pokemon driving sales all across the world. Nintendo aren’t ones to rest on their laurels though; the last year has seen the release of the Nintendo 2DS – a machine without the 3D capabilities and without the folding hinge in the middle, designed (and priced) for children. There’s a third model releasing too, early next year, with a slightly improved processor, screen and battery life. This New 3DS promises to give the Nintendo handheld a new lease of life and, I’m sure the company is hoping, will sustain its sales in all of the key territories.
