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.

I got my 3ds and 3 games with it, and i can say that im having more fun with the apps than with the games i bought, the 3ds camera is really fun to use, my family and i had a really fun time fusing our faces, playing face riders and taking 3d pictures, the street pass is also a really cool feature, i like to go out to my nearest shopping mall so i can meet more mii's

Limited features

the 3DS has some very cool features and nintendo hasn't even utilized all the platform can

Loving all the features

swallow.-Many features not available at launch

There are plenty of cool new features on the 3DS

got the 3ds mainly for new games and good graphics, the 3D is like a cool bonus feature for me

The Nintendo 3ds, Promised to be the best Handheld with many great features That I have Toggled with

When I first heard that this handheld would feature "no glasses required 3D", I was very skeptical about how well the feature would be implemented, and even more doubtful about having 3D on a handheld device, which is going to be moved around a lot as you play it.

I love the color and the #D features are great

So, check out the original review for more detail if you so desire.======================================================================================================================================================================================================================================================================================================================~~~~~~~~~~Virtual Store, Netflix, and Browser~~~~~~~~~~The originally promised features have finally been released

Supposed to come with a new web browser that supports flash and other features that are popular for web video viewing.

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

It's a cool feature, however I hardly ever use it

For the first time, you can actual create Miis, though not to the extent of the Wii U, but it's still a neat little feature

The higher resolution of 3DS games is a much appreciated feature of the 3DS.

This overview is going to be from a consumer perspective and address what comes in the box, the system's features, and whether or not it's worth a purchase.

The 3DS released without some of its most exciting features (a game download service for original games and classic handheld (original GameBoy, GameBoy Color, Game Gear...) titles, Netflix, and a web browser) with those to come in late May through a system update.

Gyroscope: I think this is one of my favorite features

:This was something that was featured in the previous versions of DS but still have to say that it is an awesome feature sometimes only requiring 1 cartridge to play a game.

I implore you to set up an internet connection for it so that you can enjoy online features as well, not just the offline.

new features will be added in May (Virtual Console, web browser)-Streetpass is a neat feature.-Includes 2GB SD memory card.-Fully backwards compatible with DS games.-AR games is quite enjoyable

The pedometer is a nice feature to promote more physical activity by using steps for unlockables

Similar to smartphones, it has a Motion Sensor and Gyro Sensor to control games that support this feature- Best of all, it's backwards compatible with older DS and DSi games-

,i love the 3d feature

The function also doesn't seem to work as well as the AR feature, because the Pokemon pop on and off the picture a lot, and it seems like it is harder for the 3DS to read the Pokemon scan cards than the AR scan cards

Overall, this feature is good, but it could do with a little improvement.4.5 out of 5 starsSound

The N3DS has a lot of cool features, and the 3D effect actually works pretty well

It's a great feature, being able to adjust the level of 3D to whatever you want, but it's also very easy to bump it with your finger when slid all the way to the "Off" position

If you want to wait for the better games to come out or the price to go down, thats understandable but this is a next generation handheld with excellent graphics and software and its just something you have to have if you a hardcore gamer or even a casual gamer as your kids will love it, or a 19 year-old who has been playing Nintendo since childhood will greatly appreciate this item and its features and the next update will come on June 6th with the Internet browser.

My favorite new feature however is AR Cards

When you disable the 3D feature the games look only marginally better than DS games.

Picto Chat was the the coolest feature on the DS

The added feature of the analog stick is very nice and feels great.

The feature works great on Ocarina of Time

The home button was a nice feature to suspend the game and be able to check a message or change the brightness without having to leave the game.

I suppose I could always remove the SD card and upload my pictures to my computer, but it still feels like it should have been featured in the system itself

The 3DS itself is great, the 3D is a blast, and it comes with quite a few entertaining features

Overall, this is a neat feature that puts the 3DS one step ahead of the iPod competition.5 out of 5 starsSwapnote:In this "app" or whatever you want to call it, you can create messages and send them to friends with either Streetpass or Spotpass

The greatest feature is 3D (just make sure your children have it off if they have problems with their vision/sight).

Overall, this feature is very cool, though the Spotpass distribution was a little confusing at first.4.5 out of 5 starsWeb Browser

All 3ds icons sort of float around in 3d, it's a cool feature.

It was the same way for the first year and a half as everyone tried to figure out what to do with it, with the strange 3D features and motion controls putting some developers off

Interaction goes beyond multiplayer though, and these extras are not just worthless features, they extend the replay value in your games and give you a very valid reason to use other features (i.e. Pass by another 3DS owner with StreetPass enabled, and their Mii will end up on your 3DS ready to join you in your Mii Plaza to assist you in Mii games, and swap puzzles).Beyond games, you have the option of enjoying Netflix & Hulu Plus (via a subscription and an internet connection)

Great online multiplayer and features like spotpass and streetpass usually unlock more contentmaking the games even better

Some other features came too, like Netflix, But all seemed Bleak for Nintendo 3ds

More features are available for both players who have the game.3D:I am quite impressed with the 3D without glasses.

Though probably its most controversial feature, the system's 3D effect is far from its biggest selling point.

It's a great feature that will lead to easily accessible new features

It's a very nice feature.

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.

However, it feels like kind of a rip off to spend $250 and not be able to enjoy the main feature of the

The only thing I wish was that Nintendo would stop with their annoying friend codes but that is what continues to keep children all happy and E rated, maybe that could be included in the parental controls as well.

I was confused as to why the rest of my family was so shocked at it

Is the battery life as bad as they say it is?

2012 Is coming, and great games are coming out along with it, as well as who knows what

Besides that, everything works as it should.

WON"T TAKE LONG!!

Poor R&D
