What the press release says:

To Whom It May Concern: Re: Launch Of New Portable Game Machine

Nintendo Co., Ltd. will launch "Nintendo 3DS" (working title) during the fiscal year ending March 2011, on which games can be enjoyed with 3D effects without the need for any special glasses.

"Nintendo 3DS" is going to be the new portable game machine to succeed "Nintendo DS series," whose $#@!ulative consolidated sales from Nintendo amounted to 125 million units as of the end of December 2009, and will include backward compatibility so that the software from Nintendo DS series, including the ones for Nintendo DSi, can also be enjoyed.

We are planning to announce additional details at E3 show, which is scheduled to be held from June 15, 2010 at Los Angeles in the U.S.

they can actually do it based on the screen style, a mobile phone firm is releasing a similar device later this year, the big problem with it is you need to be looking at the screen pretty much straight on, but if they get this work properly by guess is this technology will eventually jump into TV's, cause how many people really want to sit wearing special glasses to watch TV.
