It’s fair to say the Nintendo Wii’s market share has taken a bit of a battering since both Microsoft and Sony introduced their motion-sensing console add-ons.
But it looks like Nintendo may have an interesting response lined up: it’s just shown off a demo of the Wii running games in 3D.
The demo – which formed part of Nintendo’s keynote at the GDC 2011 gaming expo in San Francisco this week – featured the console running a special version of Mario Kart Wii and connected to a glasses-free 3D TV.
In the demo the Wii nunchuck was used to control the 3D depth – like a virtual version of the slider on the new Nintendo 3DS handheld.
Nintendo says the demo was just that, and certainly mentioned no roadmap for bringing the tech into production. But given how the company has embraced 3D on the handheld Nintendo 3DS, we hardly imagine this was an exercise just for the sake of it.
