Announced in a March 23, 2010 press release,<ref>[http://www.nintendo.co.jp/ir/pdf/2010/100323e.pdf Re: Launch of New Portable Game Machine] (retrieved March 26, 2010)</ref> the Nintendo 3DS is fully backwards-compatible with all [[Nintendo DS]] games (except those that require the GBA slot). Its revolutionary feature, however, is its ability to display stereoscopic 3D graphics without the use of glasses, using the technique of {{wp|parallax barrier}}.

The {{wp|Nintendo eShop}} used the internet to purchase for download select full 3DS titles, 3DS-exclusive downloadable games (including {{wp|3D Classics}}), {{wp|downloadable content}} for 3DS titles, {{wp|DSiWare}}, and [[Virtual Console]] games with money uploaded onto the player's account. Some such products were available for download for free, such as [[Pokédex 3D]], and some were free to download but contain in-game purchases, such as [[Pokémon Picross]].

From March 27, 2023 onwards, it is no longer possible to make purchases of 3DS content, as the 3DS and Wii U eShop clients, listings of digital 3DS content on Nintendo's website, and the transaction applet used by 3DS software ceased to accept sales. [[Pokémon Bank]] became free for usage as a result. It is similarly no longer possible to download 3DS content made available for free if the eShop account did not previously download it before cessation of purchases. Content previously purchased or downloaded on an eShop account can still be redownloaded, excluding a handful of titles that are fully delisted like the now non-functional {{wp|YouTube}} app.
