For everyone, the big unknown before E3 2010 was Nintendo 3DS. For most gamers, the big unknown after E3 2010 is… still Nintendo 3DS. That’s because this 2011-bound portable has a 3D top screen that is only viewable in person, giving print journalism some much-needed clout back.

I was one of those journalists lucky enough to test out the 3DS in person and view some of its – literally – eye-popping games at the Nintendo E3 booth. Interestingly, my Nintendo appointment was right after I spent an hour testing the Sony lineup, which also had a number of games playable in 3D. While the basic effect is the same, there are a number of key differences between the Sony and Nintendo ways of presenting games in the third dimension. I’d even go as far as to say, there are three huge benefits to how Nintendo is doing 3D.
