The '''Nintendo 3DS''' is a family of handheld consoles made by Nintendo, first released in 2011. It is the successor to the [[Nintendo DS]] family of handhelds. It is the handheld counterpart of the [[Wii U]]. The 3DS gets its name from the stereoscopic 3D feature it provides which is present on the models with 3D in the name. The models with 2D in the name lack this feature, but can still use all 3DS features that do not use 3D. It is the first Nintendo portable system to feature and support [[Mii]]s as a system feature. Miis can be created on the 3DS using the [[Mii Maker]] app, which is the 3DS equivalent to the Wii’s Mii Channel. It also supports [[amiibo]] (although it requires a special adapter on non- "New" models). | The '''Nintendo 3DS''' is a family of handheld consoles made by Nintendo, first released in 2011.
