Handheld gaming is about to change forever. From humble beginnings with one simple screen and a few buttons, the handheld console transformed to become a window into other worlds. Vivid colors, brilliant action and 3D depth await you on the other side of the Nintendo 3DS's top screen. Created without the need for cumbersome 3D glasses, this game system provides an elegant way to enhance your viewing experience with only the naked eye. Decide how much 3D you want to see with the Depth Slider, from no 3D all the way to the wonder of maximum 3D. In addition to 3D visuals, the Nintendo 3DS offers a variety of other features to enrich your gaming experience. Operate the bottom touch screen with the telescoping stylus that can be stored inside the system. Change your perception of the world around you with fascinating augmented reality games and built-in applications. Take pictures and more with the inward-facing camera and dual outward-facing cameras. When you move the handheld system around, it knows: the built-in gyro sensor, motion sensor and pedometer detect movement to enrich your gaming experience. A wireless switch, circle pad and new input and controls complete the package. Are you ready to enter a whole new world of handheld gaming?

What's great about it: Great screen size, ease of use, variety of games, battery life, wi-fi...
What's not so great: a little cumbersome due to the dual screens
I had always been an old school fan of the Game Boy and Game Boy Color systems. I skipped the later installments, but something attracted me to the 3DS (and no, it wasn't the 3D aspect). More great, old school games were coming out for it and I was beginning to become intrigued by the system's advancements itself.
Overall, the 3DS is a great product. If you're used to old hand held systems, it may take some getting used to, but once you do, it's great. The battery does surprisingly well for supporting two screens, 3D graphics, and audio. The main thing I would recommend for this product, however, is to purchase screen protectors for the screens.

What's great about it: 3-D
What's not so great: Size
Bought this so I could play Mario 3-D and Mario Kart 7 with my 12 y.o. daughter. Coop play was easy to set up and made it real cool to play. We have had Mario and Mario Kart since the Gamecube and really enjoy racing against each other. The only setback is it's size. It's just too small for adult-sized hands. I bought an aftermarket grip that snapped onto the bottom of the 3-ds and it made it easier to hold and operate all the buttons. The battery life is excellant and the screens are relatively easy to see in the daytime. The included stylus telescopes to make it easier for adults to use.

Works great. No trouble. Only down side is that it can't play classic games. I guess I'll need to keep my old DS.

What's not so great: Battery charger should consist of 100v to 220v so we can used outside the good old USA.
The battery charger should have 110v-220v. I burn my charger because it was only a 110v charger.

I have owned my 3DS for almost a year now and so far I am very impressed with the system. When I first got it, it was $250 and I almost thought that I had wasted my money, but I didn't. Even at $250 I thought that this was a great buy, and now it's only $169.99. The system quality is pretty well done, but the build is pretty bulky and quite hard to put in a small pant pocket. The only concern I have is that the top screen seems less stable than the previous DS models, but I don't think it will be a problem in the future. You get quite a bit of things with the system even without any games, such as face raiders and playing with the AR card. When the system was first released it really had no good games out their, but now with games such as Mario Kart 7, Super Mario 3D land, Resident Evil Revelations, their is endless amount of fun to be had. The battery life is a drawback from the system, but there is an optional battery pack for it that adds almost double the battery life. The only other minor drawback I have with the system is the limited view of the 3D and the cameras. The 3D works great, as long as you don't move around. The cameras work great, but I do wishes that they would have chosen better quality cameras. With great games, and a good price, even if you own a DS or are thinking about purchasing a 3DS, I think that it is a very good choice for someone who wants Excellent console quality games ( IN 3D) on the go!

What's great about it: Parental Controls for kids.
We bought this for our almost 7 year old son after doing some research on the 3DS. We had some hesitation about buying this for our son, given that reviews said the 3D portion was not good for kids, but we found out that through parental controls you can turn off the 3D and many other things which make it a much better system for a 7 year old. It seems all the new and better games coming out are and will be for the 3DS, which has better graphics than the previous models, so we choose this model and are very happy with the decision.

What's great about it: Game selection
What's not so great: Unable to Instant message
Overall the unit is great, my daughter loves it. The main issue is that the unit is unable to instant message with other units like the old DS lites. The WI-FI feature is nice though. Other then that we have found no issues to date

What's great about it: Hours of entertainment
What's not so great: 3D images are hard on the eyes/head
MY son loves playing the DS3D. He would play all day if I let him. The DS3D is appears a bit more fragil then the XL we have. The screen is much smaller and the 3D images are difficult on the eyes/head. Most of the time it is played with the 3D off.

What's great about it: graphics, 3d, games, features
What's not so great: design
This is the best handheld system out there. The picture is beatiful and you can turn on/off the 3D effect no glasses required. It has a lot of features (3d pictures and movies, can watch netflix, lots of different gaming features, wireless gameplay, online downloading. The only complaints is design. It is made from a glossy plastic that looks great but can get greasy from the oil in your hands. I have never had any nintendo product break before but this one i didnt realize when i got it didnt have the plastic sealed all the way around and squeaks when you squeeze that area. It hasn't gotten any worse but i would recommend examining yours first so you can exchenge if needed i realized to late to exchange.
