Yeah, no, the 3DS did eye tracking starting with the New 3DS.

Have people memory holed this? The New 3DS could adjust its parallax via eye tracking to a much wider effective tracking angle. It took a fraction of a second to adjust if you moved too quickly, but it was seamsless most of the time.

I have no idea what you mean. I've never heard of a new 3DS when did it come out?

  1. It had a bigger screen, eye tracking for the stereo 3D, a built-in second stick nub thingy and a bit more performance. It came in two sizes, to match the OG and XL versions of the base model.

Kinda nuts that this fell through the cracks for some people. The improvements to the stereo tracking were dramatic.

It's rather telling though isn't it that Nintendo then abandoned the technology as soon as they went over to their next console. If it had been popular they would have included it on the switch.
