The 3D really does work. Astonishingly so. The moment you witness the glasses-free 3D effect for the first time is a genuine eye-opener. If the idea of having things pop out at you is enough to make your eyes water
Nintendo has made the 3D effect adjustable as if it were a volume control. Not that many will want to go back to 2D. Those planning to take their 3DS out and about will be pleased to

Flipped open the 3DS is a beauty
But its outer shell lacks the clean curves of the DS Lite giving the 3DS a more functional look than something resembling an object of gaming desire. Awkward stylus placement on the rear means you'll have to reach around the back of the 3DS to whip it out.

the 3DS is truly Nintendo’s next-generation handheld and an extremely worthy successor to the DS, just as Game Boy Color improved upon the original Game Boy and the Game Boy Advance improved upon the Game Boy Color. With the 3DS, Nintendo has retaine...

Abstract: Today was Nintendo 3DS launch day. While many superfans pre-ordered in anticipation of sell-out situations, most people I talked to were able to get theirs at retail without any fuss. For now, the Nintendo 3DS comes in two colors: Cosmo Black and Aqua...
Solid, sleek hardware design; impressive 3D effects; high quality graphics; improved speaker system; Circle Pad works like a charm.
Expensive; 3D effect can cause some eyestrain; terrible battery life; constantly having to readjust your viewing angle isn't practical for road trips and crowded areas. First Prev 1 2 Next Last

Abstract: After waiting for Nintendo’s 3DS for over half a year (which isn’t actually too long when it comes to a major hardware release), it’s been a great week having it around. I’ve used the handheld for hours but keep in mind that I’ve still only spent a ab...
Abstract: Ever since it was unveiled last year, there's been a lot of talk about the 3DS. Would it really deliver on its promise of bringing 3D gaming to the masses? In short, yes. The 3DS is certainly a technological marvel, if only for its unique pixel-overlay...
