The '''Nintendo 3DS''' is a handheld game console produced by [[Nintendo]], released in early 2011 | The '''Nintendo 3DS''' is a handheld game console produced by [[Nintendo]], released in early 2011 as the successor to the Nintendo DS family of systems. It features two screens, with the bottom screen being touch-sensitive, and the top screen having the ability to display images in stereoscopic 3D without the need for 3D glasses, hence the device's name. It has a similar design to the Nintendo DS, with a D-pad, 4 face buttons, and 2 shoulder buttons, but it also features a control-stick style button known as the Circle Pad, and is more powerful internally. | ||
Various variants of the 3DS were released after the original console, creating a family of systems. These include the 3DS XL, with a larger screen, the 2DS, a flat version without the 3D feature, and the New Nintendo 3DS, a slightly upgraded version. Almost all 3DS games work with all models of the system, and it is also backwards compatible, meaning games for the DS and DSi are still playable on the 3DS. | Various variants of the 3DS were released after the original console, creating a family of systems.

In Japan, three Pikmin-themed AR cards came bundled with eShop cards.{{cite youtube|huPeeNe7HOA|showing the Animal Crossing and Pikmin AR Cards revealed for Japan}} The [[Yellow Pikmin]] card comes bundled with a 1000 Yen card, the [[Red Pikmin]] card comes with a 2000 Yen card, and the [[Blue Pikmin]] comes with a 3000 Yen card. Each card shows a Pikmin of the same color on it. Along with the Pikmin AR Cards, one could also get a code for ''Photos with Pikmin'' or "{{j|いっしょにフォト ピクミン|Issho ni Foto Pikumin}}". With the software, AR pictures can be taken. Unlike the bundled AR Cards, these can be freely moved around, and the Pikmin will interact with them accordingly. For example, if the card is held upside down, the Pikmin will hang onto the card before falling down. By blowing into the microphone, more Pikmin can be spawned. Blowing with the maximum amount of Pikmin on the card will turn it into a different whistle. This whistle will organize the Pikmin into lines. One can also set a timer for when they want to take a picture, along with being able to change on-screen effects for the picture. The ? card bundled with the 3DS will show a [[Bulborb]] when used with this card set. The Bulborb will chase after the Pikmin if they are close enough. This game and the Japanese Pikmin AR Cards have an official website at [https://www.nintendo.co.jp/3ds/dl/jawj/ https://www.nintendo.co.jp/3ds/dl/jawj/].
