Iwata Confirms What To Expect With 3DS' Specs-Appeal?

In a recent interview with industry magazine, Develop, Nintendo boss Satoru Iwata commented that the upcoming successor to the DS, the 3DS:

“will be easy to turn off the 3D function on the new machine, allowing people to play games, with or without 3D.”

This has led to rumours that Sharp's parallax 3D technology is being used in the development of the device. As to how important or not this is for gamers remains but until Nintendo confirm otherwise be excited for the option to play 3D and non-3D titles on a handheld when the device is released later this year.
