Nintendo on Monday announced that it will release a new model of its DS handheld console that can play 3-D games but won’t require the user to wear special glasses. This device is due by early next year at the latest. The move may give Nintendo’s DS an edge as the video game and entertainment markets inch toward 3-D. Nintendo’s new device, nicknamed the “3DS,” will be able to play titles that were created for current and previous DS models, Nintendo said. However, when playing specially designed 3-D games, users won’t need special glasses to view 3-D images, Nintendo said.
