Summary: Disregard the review giving it a 1 1/2 stars out of five. What a joke. How are you going to review a system without having "had any hands on experience" and expect the fact that you've owned other Nintendo systems to suffice. Are you serious?
Anyway, I was surprised by this system. I mean, really surprised. It's one thing to hear about it, but it's another to experience it. I haven't purchased it but I played with it during the demo tours Nintendo is having. All I can say is, a review doesn't really do justice. I've read many reviews, but I wasn't overly excited. I was intrigued, but the whole 3D fanfare didn't translate well into writing.
Before you buy the system, try it out for yourself. Or take the opinion of someone who has tried it in person. Those are the best reviews in my opinion. It's an impressive system and I can't wait to see how developers are going to take advantage of the hardware.

Summary: The main topic of the 3DS is always the 3D. However, 3D is just ONE of the slew of features and upgrades this amazing little machine offers. The slidepad works great, the processing power is impressive, it's online features are fleshed out and the software coming down the pipe has been top notch. 3DS is the real deal, and it is NOT a kiddy machine. 3D or NOT, the 3DS offers a fantastic gaming experience at a super low entry cost. Grab a few, and hook em up!

Summary: If you're looking for a new console pick the Nintendo 3DS. With every passing second new things are added and you might even find some nostalgic game wether they're in the eShop or on the market the 3DS is well worth its price at $170.
Final verdict: 5/5 with the title of: Now THAT is what I'm talking about! :)

by Redclaws

Pros: Spectacular 3D
Awesome features, such as streetpass, spotpass
TONS of built in software
eShop is very well constructed, and offers some nice free software
Netflix is finally portable
Takes pictures in 3D
AR (augmented reality) is mind blowing.
Cons: 3D must be viewed head on
effects dont work for some, but that's fairly rare
Summary: What can I say? The 3DS has it all! I have impressed so many non-gaming and gaming friends with it, it's astounding. I'm sure most of you have ...

Summary: What can I say? The 3DS has it all! I have impressed so many non-gaming and gaming friends with it, it's astounding. I'm sure most of you have heard that "the 3D hurts your eyes" or "it gives you headaches" Not true. Every single person who owns one or has seen one that WASNT on demo at a store has said they have no problems with it, and I concur. Another complaint is that the battery life is bad. I've never really had a problem with it, but then again, it sits at home on its included docking station all day. I love it so much, I'm selling my psp. Great job, Nintendo!
