Nintendo 3DS Announce Pink Bundle

October 26, 2011 – Now here's a bundle which will tickle you pink. Nintendo is launching a new Coral Pink Nintendo 3DS™ which you can pick up in Europe from 18th November, bundled with a copy of nintendogs™ + cats, offering a purrrrfect gift for Christmas.

Nintendo 3DS, the latest handheld console from Nintendo, offers portable entertainment in 3D without the need for special glasses. With the ability to play Nintendo 3DS games in full 3D or a huge range of Nintendo DS™ and Nintendo DSi™ games in 2D*, Nintendo 3DS offers the best handheld gaming experience for everyone. Take 3D photographs and capture those special moments in 3D video** or access an array of online and downloadable content such as games, demos and movie trailers via the Nintendo eShop. Content like cartoons, music videos and video clips will also download automatically to the console via the SpotPass™ service, and data can be shared wirelessly with other users via the StreetPass™ function.

Now for the first time, your portable pooch has a feline friend to play with and your puppy can take walks with you whilst you're on the move! Dog and cat lovers alike will have the chance to carry around their adorable puppy or kitten in their pocket. nintendogs + cats offers lifelike 3D graphics and interactivity which creates a fully immersive experience. Your cute puppy will seemingly come alive as he recognises your face using the Nintendo 3DS inner camera, follows your head movements and appears to pop out of the screen to lick you. Once you have his attention, use the stylus and microphone to teach him a variety of tricks through voice commands such as "give paw" or "lie down".

With a mass of customisation options available; the ability to meet other owners and puppies, swap items and 3D photos via StreetPass; and AR Cards which make your puppy or kitten literally leap around on the table in front of you by using Augmented Reality - this truly has to be seen to be believed.

If you already own nintendogs + cats and like the sound of a Coral Pink Nintendo 3DS, then do not worry as you'll be able to get your paws on your very own Coral Pink console later this year.

Don't forget that you can also play the more than 1000 Nintendo DS and Nintendo DSi games* on your Nintendo 3DS, as it is compatible with all of these games. For more information on Nintendo 3DS, visit http://www.nintendo.co.uk

* Nintendo DS and Nintendo DSi games can be played in 2D only
**3D Video Recording function will be made available following the system update in November

Editor's Notes:
Nintendo 3DS offers Parental Controls so that parents can control the level of 3D their children can view on the Nintendo 3DS as well as the content they can access. Nintendo 3DS also features a 3D depth slider which lets players turn off or adjust the level of 3D they want on the 3D Screen, two built-in screens for different functionality, a Circle Pad which provides a full 360 degrees of direction, a built-in motion sensor and gyro sensor. It is equipped with three cameras (two of which are facing outwards to allow the taking of 3D pictures and videos), houses a 2GB SD Memory Card and is compatible with AR Cards which come packaged with Nintendo 3DS. Nintendo 3DS is also backwards compatible with all existing Nintendo DS and Nintendo DSi games, which can be played in 2D on your Nintendo 3DS system.
