Now don’t get too excited, this is just a demo being shown at GDC. Nintendo decided to test out what Wii games would be like in 3D, so they set up Mario Kart Wii to send a 3D image to a glasses-free TV, and decided… that it was cool. That’s all. Yeah, kind of a disappointment after that headline, but that’s what they did! Don’t blame me!

There’s a nice flamewar going on over at Destructoid, source for the pic.
