Why only 3 stars?I wanted to love this system since I paid for it 250$

So while there are some faults I find it to be a pretty great system.

If you want apps on your portable gaming system, Vita all the way

Great system!

Excellent system and a beautiful color!!

My critique:The system is very pretty to look at and is about the size of the regular DSi

Overall very good system.

but I'm not gullible to lie and say that is "the best handheld system" no is not

It's a sweet system and aside from my annoyances with the backwards compatibility, it will be an awesome system for many years to come.

Some of these Nintendo portables I accidentally dropped when I was younger, and they came out unscathed because Nintendo is known to build their systems like a rock

Awesome system.

I love my 3DS is the best system

The system would have high-end modern graphics2) System would be built well and be very durable with little tech issues3

everything came as described in the description and the system works very well for what I need, overall I was very pleased with the seller

Some how, even though the system in small and thin, my hands felt really comfortable.

but I do think that it is a fine system so far

The system is marvelous and has many things on it that look superb even in 2D.3DS CAMERA: 8 out of 10The Nintendo 3DS has 3 cameras

Though all systems are working fine, and It was a good present for my brother

This is an amazing system and is a must buy.

Loves new game system

The system is surprisingly affordable for it's novelty and the few games I have played on the

Despite some negative reviews, I think the 3DS is good system

Obviously, they're trying to keep the system small, but if you've got big hands this system can get uncomfortable because of the awkward button placement

The amount of fun games along with the dual screen innovation and touch controls made it one of the great systems of our time

and I think this system is great and that you should buy it.

Love the system

The system feels comfortable to hold in my hands

The DS has always been my favorite handheld system

Let me start out by saying this, I am a huge Nintendo fan and have been since I first played Super Nintendo in 96', since then I have owned every Nintendo system, both portable and handheld (besides the Virtual Boy)

The 3DS has revolutionized this already-great system and is a great addition to your gaming systems.1

Overall the system has some strong and not so strong features

The system was broken within one month.

Save yourself the time, money, and headache, of buying this cheaply made, yet high priced system, and invest your money in games for consoles you already own or in purchasing a more reliable system

In it's favor are potentially great uses of 3D effects in games, some sense of an integrated online at least better than the abysmal WFC system, and a strong graphical upgrade from the DS

:) fine system

No system conflicts

The lack of amazing launch titles in the only thing that hinders this system, but the console includes the fun "Face Raiders" game to sort of make up for that

The DS is just a great system - in whatever iteration you find it (well, perhaps not the ORIGINAL haha); the 3DS is a neat version of it, though perhaps not mandatory.

it's a nice, durable system for a reasonable price.

The hype is totally gone and I was left with a terrible system

^(^o^)^The system feels so solid and nice in the hands, and looks it aswell

The pre-loaded game Face Raiders is more than enough to show what the system is capable of

We have played with Nintendo game systems for many years starting with the color Game Boy and finally advancing to the DSi and now the 3DS.It is a lot of money to put out for a new system but Nintendo has packed a whole ton of new features into this little portable system

Great system

The system does have some cool features, including the 3D camera, circle pad, and gyroscope, but no one used it in a way that made me feel the system was worthwhile.

The 3DS is a fantastic system, I'd recommend to anyone who is remotely thinking about getting one in the near future

The graphics are fantastic, the 3D effects don't give me migraines (a problem that's kept me from seeing 3D movies for years) and the system itself is gorgeous

The system itself is extremely easy to set, up, the only difficult aspect, but only because I was out of town and not used to finding other Wi-Fi sources other than my own

There are parental controls for the system to help parents limit much

system works great and is a nice portable that I can play with friends

it is a great system

honestly the 3ds is a really cool system its nice seeing 3d without glasses on this is worth getting and fun

Very durable system

A great system that really adds so much visually to the gaming experience.

System seems sturdy

Given that this is a portable system, the 3D is pretty successful

The Vita is on top graphically (though the 3DS in my opinion is still a nice system with some decent specs in this respect, but to me, the "3D" thing is still a gimmick and not really that much of a pro for 3DS), and finally the Vita is also on top regarding non-gaming functions/apps - especially Skype is a big plus in my opinion - I figure though, if you have an iPhone or an Android, which have come way down in price and a lot more folks can afford them

I guess if you actually use a portable gaming system it would be good, just do your research and read the

all in all this is an amazing system.

With the 3D on, the system is simply magical.

The system is great and cool and all, but maybe it was launched too soon.

This is a seriously awesome system

The pictures don't do it justice, the blue system is just beautiful

I gave up on Nintendo over a decade ago; still have all the older systems and love them (NES, SNES, N64, GBASP), but starting with the Gamecube Nintendo has just been all about cheap JUNK.

Saying all that it is a cool system but so is

System works like new

This is truly a remarkable system!

because it is a worthy system with or without it

the nintendo 3ds is a amazing handheld gaming system probly the best available at this time,even when playing without 3d on it looks much better than a regular ds and in my opinion better than any of the competitors handhelds

Love the system

The perfect kid entertainment system

This is a great gaming system, and the effect of 3D is quite amazing.

Now, Nintendo has successor to this great system called the 3DS

The system is good and functions, however mine was scratched more than just from playing a game, the touch screen doesn't work and none of the cameras work.

The 3DS is a good system from what I've seen so far, but with some small quirks and a problem I am going to avoid until it is figured out and fixed, so I give the 3DS an honorable 4/5 :

The system is amazing i love the 3D

Overall the Nintendo 3DS as a system has failed my expectations and judging from feedback seen around the internet many others have been disappointed by it to

The system is powerful and stylish, and even with the 3D off, the graphics look great.

This has been a great system.

Overall: A great system to own and it's got a great library coming soon

If you do not care for the 3D effects then you can simply turn that feature off and you still have a powerful little handheld system

it's a great system

Please, if you're confused, get this: the 3DS is Nintendo's next generation portable system

Overall the system has been great and loads of fun for the whole family.

But the price is so cheap for such an amazing system.

The 3DS is a really fun system.

It is a great game system, and I only became familiar with Nintendo's DS systems this year.

and I recommend this to anyone looking for a cheap portable system, especially if you haven't had a DS before

Overall: The 3DS is a supreme system for video game fans.

I look forward to features coming in the feature (like Virtual Console and the internet browser).I would definitely recommend this system to anyone willing to try it

I got this system along with the games Ghost Recon and Ocarina of Time, then later Pilotwings, and enjoyed it for awhile, but now it has lost all interest in

I'm a big fan of Nintendo, but I don't think this system is good for the eyes.

I am able to enjoy the fresh new graphics system of 3DS games and updated graphics on my favorite DS games

I initially purchased this system for my boyfriend for his birthday, well a few months before his birthday, and honestly I couldn't help myself

it turns out my favorite game company has sadly decided to drop its long known stance of having cheap systems with a trade-off of average quality graphics, but having fantastic durability

I didn't think it would be worth the price tag, but I didn't expect a lousy system either

I would recommend this Nintendo system

Games are good however (zelda 3ds), but system

It's an exciting system

The 3DS also has a pedometer so if you walk with it the system will track your footsteps and reward you with virtual coins you can use in certain applications

I still do strongly recommend it, though my initial hype has died down a bit, but not enough to knock the system down as my opinions are all the same

3D viewing is cool but it will make you dizzy but overall its a very good system.

Another great Nintendo gaming system, 3D looks great but most people turn it off after the WOW factor is gone, but even than games like zelda look BEAUTIFUL, its stunning really.

After just 3 weeks of owning the console, keeping it in a case and treating it with the care that a new, expensive console would deserve, the system broke on me

I realize a lot of people have a pros or cons list,...but the bottom line is that you need to get this if you like what Nintendo does and want an amazing portable system

Too bad for those that have trouble with 3D. They're missing out...at least they still have HD.Congrats to Nintendo for making a great portable system

If you're an adult gamer like me, wondering if this is worth the money, or if it's just the "4S" upgrade to an already-great system... buy this

It is a very good looking system and the menu is set up like the Wii.

Nintendo is changing formats again and I have decided to follow this revolutionary new system.

All in all, the 3DS is a pretty phenomenal system considering it's the first of

I got this system along with the games Ghost Recon and Ocarina of Time, then later Pilotwings, and enjoyed it for awhile, but now it has lost all interest in

You can also see for yourself what comes in the box, but I'll tell you anyway:1 Nintendo 3DS Charging Cradle (which is explained how to use in the Operations Manual)1 Nintendo 3DS system (well, duh!!!!)1 Nintendo 3DS AC adaptor1 Nintendo 3DS stylus (inserted into the system's stylus holder which is located on the back of the Nintendo 3DS system

nintendo 3ds is the greatest portable game system in the world a true classic the best of the

and I recommend this to anyone looking for a cheap portable system, especially if you haven't had a DS before

Love this gaming system

so i bought this for my GF as a present having a purple one of my own i love the system only because of the elevated touch screen on the bottom it can scratche the top screen and there are reports of the L/R buttons breaking

Great system I recomend it

Great little gaming system

My son is really enjoying the system now that we have everything that we need for it.

So far I love the system, and I got Sims 3 along with it

It's an awesome portable gaming system.

The system is really responsive with the cards and tracks them very accurately

The system overall is great.

I've used portable Nintendo systems since the Gameboy Color came out, and have upgraded happily with each new console

I preordered this system with Amazon and love it even without all the features that will be added coming down the line
