Nintendo recently held a Japan-only conference, which finally announced the launch details of their new, 3-D handheld, the Nintendo 3DS.
The headlining feature of the 3DS is being able to play games in 3-D, without the use of any special glasses. The system also has an enhanced "tag mode," which allows players to connect with other 3DSes that happen to be nearby. The system will also have it's own virtual console, which will let players download classic Game Boy, and Game Boy Color games onto their console.
The 3DS will be released on February 26th in Japan, for 25000 yen - roughly $300. Nintendo said they were planning on a March release for the U.S., and Europe.
A bit pricey (it's more than a Wii), but I'm predicting Nintendo will drop that price down a bit. Hopefully around the $250 mark. Either way, I'm definitely excited for this thing to come out.
