I only got this because I wanted enjoyable 3D, and because Nintendo is awesome.

great Nintendo added DS emulation

(Ace Combat looked pretty good on its screen) this system offers a lot more chance for expansion while allowing Nintendo to take few risks

Awesome job Nintendo

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

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

I hope next time I can buy more games so that I can enjoy this Nintendo 3DS

Let's hope the Wii 2 is a much better upgrade than the 3DS; if not, Nintendo is well on their way to becoming a failed company in the gaming marketplace.

vs psp all over again, nintendo is gonna unleash the pimp hand on sony again.

Used accesories: if you have big hands this is a must Nintendo 3DS Hand Grip; a good screen protector is highly suggested Nintendo 3DS Screen Protector Kit; and the protective case Nintendo 3DS Hard Pouch - BlackGame line up will just get better just in time for X-Mas season; so over all this a great

I'm glad Nintendo kept that feature

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.

I love nintendo

As most Nintendo's portable, this is just great

I have ever had, don't get me wrong, I love Nintendo and have had every home console, I just never went handheld

In a very welcome move, Nintendo made the 3DS fully backwards compatible with Nintendo DS games, making the transition from one to the other much more smooth

First off, Nintendo failed to offer a strong selection of launch titles.

I love nintendo, but I think I'm just sick of the rehashed games every generation and their lack of focus on what their fans want

The original Mortal Kombat game was censored for the Super Nintendo, which was the official beginning of Nintendo's catering to children

The 3DS is by far the best Nintendo Portable in history

For the first time in my 17 years of life, I genuinely feel like Nintendo has nailed a modern-day launch

Nintendo makes clips available in 3d for free, from third parties, but the content is mediocre

My grandson loves his Nintendo 3DS, it was shipped quickly and arrived before the date they said it would

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.

I contacted Nintendo about this issue and here they "assured me that this is not a design flaw", which is absolutely ridiculous.

The 3DS does not feel as durable, and I wish Nintendo still built their products in Japan and not in China like everyone else

It's the same great Nintendo you expect from previous generations, but in 3D. I have spent a lot of time playing this thing and have not had any headaches, eye strains, or any other problems from looking at the screen with 3D on.

I recommend 3DS easly, I know it doesnt have the best graphics but the third parties support in the future its gonna be abismal, cause they trust Nintendo

Bought this for my daughter, but as a parent who owned the original nes, super Nintendo, sega system, N64, and many more I have used and continue to use the 3ds when I have the time, and think I have a fair ability to review this as both a parent, and as a gamer.

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.

Overall though it is an excellent system if you like Nintendo, especially their DS line.

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

One theory why is that Nintendo is trying to protect younger users by making it more difficult to add strangers as friends

That's why Nintendo had the foresight to make it so easily-adjustable

Nintendo's next portable

The DS Lite and 3DS are by no means large, but I wish Nintendo would have made the new system a little more "pocket-friendly" and slimmer (not as thick)

but I am hoping and praying and am anticipating that Nintendo won't let this system fail

I think Nintendo has had some true breakthroughs when it comes to gaming, and the 3DS is no

Sure, Nintendo will probably make it obsolete in about 4-5 years, but might as well profit from it in the meantime!

Nintendo has really done the 3D well on this system

* Nintendo product I have picked up since the Super Nintendo

Nintendo has been slow even with their 1st party games which was also frustrating.

If you've been following the 3DS at all, none of this should be news to you; it's a familiar build that feels comfortable, and I'm glad Nintendo didn't change much from the overall design since their last portable gaming device

I really liked the device, this time Nintendo has done a good on the machine, and so much fun playing it

The quality of graphics, functionality, and library of eclectic titles will draw most to this console, as well as Nintendo's track record of great handhelds

Nintendo did good work here.

That was one of THE best ideas Nintendo has come up with

I purchased my system yesterday at radioshack(literally across the road from me), and I had mixed feelings about it.on one hand, a number of system functions wont be available till later this month, while on the other, the fact they arent yet enabled can be taken as a good thing, as nintendo is taking the additional time to improve those functions.pros:plenty of built in functions that show off the system's capabilities.backwards compatibility with all ds and dsi titles save the ones that for example use a gba slot, like on the ds, and ds lite.music player functionality, which has been expanded and enhanced to include the ability to play mp3s, something nintendo should have done from the start with the dsi, and for sure should have enabled on the later dsi xl.inclusion of a number of accessories, like the charging cradle, and a 2gb sd card, the latter of which is something that again, should have been included with the dsi and later the dsi xl.cons:the speakers: while possessing great quality sound for most gaming applications(with mariokart ds the speakers are positively loud!), are a bit on the muted side when playing music.the hinge: on the clamshell design, while it doesnt have a solid feeling when locked into place, does lock into place with a satisfying click, and shouldnt be a problem for most gamers.the battery life: isnt anything worth writing home about, that said, with power saving enabled, and an average brightness setting of 3, minimal 3d effect plus wireless on, will see most users hitting the 3 and a half to 4 hour mark.size: feels a bit on the small side given my rather bear paw like hands

Of course Nintendo has moral values and utilizes parental control ranging from the 3D to playing online, and soon enough, browsing online

This Nintendo 3DS is a perfect way to play your favorite Nintendo titles with Worldwide connection to any game community

Nintendo is great, and I really reconmend the 3DS if you want real gaming, and other cool features.

FALSE"I put the 3D effect on full blast, and wifi, and everything else playing Ocarina of Time, and I get at least a good 5-6 1/2 hours

I well understand that as we get more powerful hand held devices, battery life is going to suffer.

WON"T TAKE LONG!!

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.

the 3-d dims the screen

The ds worked fine, but the charger was broken, so I had to get a new one, and it didn't come with an SD card either.

The 3-D made me dizzy , but this item is gift for son who loves it !!!!!

The 3-d for the videos is great, and the stop action feature works pretty well

The 3-d for the videos is great, and the stop action feature works pretty well

Also it makes a lot of ds games easier to play if you do not like using the touch screen to move your character

Poor R&D
