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.

Compelling 3D screen, Interesting AR game demos, Analog controls
