The astonishing 3D effect and great Augmented Reality games
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.

Abstract: Professor Layton and the Unwound Future The puzzling prof’s third outing looks much the same as the first two. Other than a slight cleaning up of the general presentation and gor-blimey Cockernee sidekick Luke suddenly gaining an inexplicably plummy v...
Abstract: Modern 3-D gaming has been around for a while, but it’s far from mainstream. That changes with the launch of Nintendo 3DS, a portable game platform that promises stereoscopic effects without the need for those bulky, ugly glasses.The system’s naked eye...

3D works well, comes with dock and included games, 3D is optional, has potential
One analogue stick, 3Dinduced headaches, no unique games yet, low quality cameras, battery life poor, expensive at $400

Solid build, 3D effect is fun (if not revolutionary), some neat little incentives to take it out and about
Nintendo is still stuck in the '90s when it comes to online connectivity and socialising
Ultimately the quality of a console is the sum of its games. The Nintendo 3DS has all the potential in the world to do as well as the DS, but some irritating flaws have not been remedied...
The Nintendo 3DS is available in two colours – Aqua Blue and Cosmos Black – and is an entertaining package for players of all ages.It maintains the features that made the DS such an irresistible product and adds a whole new layer of 3D features that offer...
