Reviews around graphic (4.22 of 5)
-
Sometimes when using 3D mode, the graphics develop a problem known as ghosting
-
The graphics are amazing both in 2d and 3d, and the color saturation and contrast is great on both screens.
-
It's not as good as the Vita, but since 3DS games are rarely about superior graphics that doesn't matter
-
I was confused as to why the rest of my family was so shocked at it
-
The DS Lite had good graphics, but it was obvious you were playing on a portable

It's great to have a portable gaming device to play a game from a cartridge or play a game downloaded and bought online

Reviews around feature (4.07 of 5)
-
A weaker-than-usual launch lineup and some previously inactivated online features dampened its launch, but a recent price drop and a promising holiday lineup shine a light at the end of tunnel.
-
It's a great feature that will lead to easily accessible new features
-
It didn't have the sickest library or features, and the 3d effect seemed like a gimmick
-
Nintendo is great, and I really reconmend the 3DS if you want real gaming, and other cool features.
-
3D gaming on the Nintendo 3DS is like watching through a window (it's much less distracting than having things pop out in your face) and it is a really nice feature to have when playing some games

Reviews around console (4.00 of 5)
-
This console is backward compatible with regular DS games; Thank you Nintendo for having common sense!Something Sony didn't have with the PSP Go
-
I was sent a faulty console with a sticky L key that makes playing some games like Pokémon where you need to shuffle through lists with the L key EXTREMELY annoying

All in all, a good console, but the 3D doesn't add that much.

Additionally, the L and R buttons are kind of hard to hit

Reviews around 3d effect (3.93 of 5)
-
And the 3D effect is slightly distorted from those viewing positions, since the left/right images were really meant to be combined in an immediately-forward position
-
Firstly, I would like to say, I did not see any 3D effect at first
-
Many people have pointed this out, it is a poorly thought out "feature".-- When playing games in "3D" mode, after extended play your eyes will become fatigued, and the 3D effect can also cause headaches.
-
I don't like that as much, but the 3D effect is still very strong even at that low level
-
, the 3D effect is really cool, it is well worth the price, and it has great games

Reviews around nintendo (3.84 of 5)
-
Nintendo also remedied the issue somewhat by including a battery-saving mode, as well as a charge pad that juices your system up in an incredibly small period of time
-
touchscreen was bad, like it didnt even feel normal but it was bareable until i had to buy a new one six months later and had trouble recovering my Nintendo id.
-
That was one of THE best ideas Nintendo has come up with
-
Nintendo has been slow even with their 1st party games which was also frustrating.
-
I hope next time I can buy more games so that I can enjoy this Nintendo 3DS

Reviews around thing (3.83 of 5)
-
Good thing if you feel tired by looking in the 3D effect, you can switch it off and play w/out 3D effect
-
The good thing is that you can turn the 3D off and still play games in 2D.
-
If you like 3D than this thing could not be anymore awesome!
-
The 3DS itself is amazing the 3D effect will blow ur mind and make you laugh in disbelief, the unfortunate thing is the best games are the pre-loaded free games like face-raiders and the AR cards
-
3D game trailers are probably the coolest thing on the 3DS so far

Top Recommendation for thing in Consoles
Reviews around screen (3.81 of 5)
-
This system is amazing, the screen is visually stunning, the AR games loaded on it are awesome and the backwards compatibility is nice
-
There can be smudges on the top screen from the bezel surrounding the bottom screen from when the system is closed.
-
Wireless switch where the power switch once was, a collapsing stylus, a nice touch sensitive screen
-
Much much better than the DSi, for starters is smaller but with a bigger top screen
-
It's amazing, especially if you take a picture of a landscape or a person punching the screen

Reviews around 3ds (3.67 of 5)
-
After receiving the Nintendo 3ds I was very disappointed
-
If you don't like the 3ds then you probably shouldn't be gaming
-
I can only recommend the 3DS if there are games that really does 3D well, otherwise most of the games are just 2D rehashes.
-
Of course, as is typical these days, the 3DS is somewhat incomplete.
-
The 3DS improves on that although most games keep the unrealistic style of DS games

Reviews around bite (2.28 of 5)
-
The only problem is that while you're moving around to hit the targets from a different angle, you shift a bit out of the "3D sweetspot" and lose the 3D effect causing a little of trouble for your brain and some eye strain
-
A bit flimsy on the hinge, and the top screen can only be fixed at certain angles
-
And the bit about the 3d effect damaging your eyes is just a legal precaution on Nintendo's part I think.
-
Also the hinge while opening the screen seems a bit loose as well
-
If a bit of extra bulk isn't a problem for you, and you have $20 to spare, this could be a great option

(Not good odds.)3DS is for die-hard gamers only in my opinion who just want to witness the "glasses free" 3D first
-
This isn't for the "hard core" gamers who are more into

if they release a right analog plug-in as rumored then this might not be a fail!otherwise serious fps gamers stay away, waste of money, just save it for ngp or

-
You could tell them to not use the 3D effect and lower the 3D adjuster, but they might use the 3D anyway and strain their eyes
-
DThe 3D is not recommended for kids, it can hurt their eyes
-
The 3D hurts your eyes so badly, much more badly than any game I've ever played

If it hurts your eyes, turn off the 3D effect!== Conclusion
