Though, you should not expect to determine the Galactica coming out of your portable — it is a strictly 2D affair. A software update coming on the end of November may also deliver the facility to record 3D video with the Nintendo handheld (as much as ten minutes) or maybe stitch together stereoscopic images for stop motion animation that jumps out of the tiny screen at you. With both Hulu and Netflix in tow, in addition to the power to create your personal content, the 3DS is definitely becoming quite a robust little portable. For more details, including some game release dates, check up on the PR after the break.
