Nintendo 3DS

the 3ds was my first step into gaming. Of course, before that I can already do something like that with other friends, but the 3ds was my first console/handheld. Therefore, my opinion is rather associated with a lot of nostalgia. But still I play TODAY even though there is such a thing as smartphones :D.... Buy the **** guys

This is nintendo's finest system yet, and proves that console quality games can be on a handheld, as well as that handheld gaming is far from dead. Features include: Camera, 3D visuals (glasses free), Music player, Youtube, Netflix, Hulu Plus, Eshop, Internet browser and much more. But we dont buy systems for the features, do we? We get them for GAMES! and Boy does it have games. to name the best of the best: The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds, Monster Hunter 3&4, Zelda ocarina of time 3d and majora's mask 3d, Hyrule Warriors, Resident Evil, and much much MUCH more. With a low price point and cheap games, there is no reason to not own one TODAY.

This is one of the best consoles I've ever seen! First of all, they have themes to decorate your home screen. They also have badges (via. Nintendo to make it stylish and more. If you don't like 3D get a 2DS! If you want better CPU and graphics get a New Nintendo 3DS! They have a huge selection of games and an E-shop. It's affordable $100 for a 2DS and $200 for a New Nintendo 3DS XL. Best of all it has backwards compatibility with Nintendo DS one of the best consoles. And its Nintendo you can play games like Mario, Zelda, Fire Emblem, Pokemon, etc. That's why the Nintendo 3DS is sooo good!

I am quite disappointed to his **** you close 3ds roughly will cause upper screen damage and hinge problem. The camera is really kidding with me , what a low megapixel as a normal ****/vita design never have hinge problem. However, even it own nothing to versus ps vita, but i more like the genre of game release by **** i like 3ds ._.

The 3DS is just a blurry mess. The 3-D just made your eyes hurt and the games look the same except just a bit more depth. You can buy a PSP that is much more better than this waste.

**** this thing? Seriously, who thought of creating the same console, with the mere addition of the WORST FEATURE POSSIBLE IN EXISTENCE (the 3D), would be a great idea? And before some people might think I'm a nintendo hater, I actually LOVED the original nintendo ds and owned more than 40 games on that system, both imported and released games. But this is just bad. Let me be honest for a second: I liked how they improved the console itself and how they made it better in some regards; the semi-analogic stick is a nice addition and, even if they didn't add a SECOND analogic stick, it's still a good thing, and the possibility to play in 3D (or pain) is something interesting, especially since you won't need glasses and it actually works great for some games (so far, just one, and that was Super **** I still have to ask who thought that this would be a nice idea, especially since, after almost 2 years out, this console has still TERRIBLE games and only a very few of them are worth your time, without mentioning that the 3DS now reminds more of a psvita/psp, with navigation menus, internet, a home **** dlc. Evolution is unavoidable, but this looks more like backtracking, especially for few big reasons, and one is the 3D: while it might be a nice addition (it is interesting, at least), it RUINS terribly some of the games mechanics! How? I'll make a brief example: in games on ds where you were supposed to press buttons or do actions shown on your touchscreen, on the 3DS you do that too...without the actual images shown on your touchscreen. And this issue was in many of the games I've bought on the console (the biggest example was Theatrhytmn Final Fantasy, where you watch the upper **** the actions are meant to be done on the touchscreen instead), and I just want to know WHY they ever do this, who would ruin a simple design ****, right, the 3D effect is on the upper screen, I forgot right.... Rants aside, I truely hope that this mechanic won't ruin our next games, or the console will have a comfy spot in the shelf. Speaking of games...where are they? For almost a year most of the games that came out weren't even worth of our attention (I barely rememberany good games coming out that year except, maybe for Tales of the Abyss and, I believe, Resident Evil). A lot of other games are also console ports...from other consoles (Blazblue? Street Fighter?, Samurai Warriors? Am I playing a ps3 or a portable console?). Again, rants aside, for now the 3DS looks more like a psp, mainly because it had the biggest flaw of having nothing but ports from ps2 games, with few exceptions,, and until they'll make new games for real, my hopes aren't going to be high any time soon. And for last, but not the least, the 3DS is region locked..."Insert insane scream of rage here". Why?! The original DS was region free and, thanks to that nice feature (or the lack of additional feature, maybe), the imports of japanese games (and american games, for me) were a great thing for those who wanted to play games that, for a reason or another, wouldn't get a release in our country (infact, my favorite games are Etrian Odyssey 3, which is american only, and Rune factory 3...which was released, but I never saw it in stores and so I had to import a copy. At least according to Wikipedia). Now, maybe for Americans this won't be a huge issue, because I do know a lot of games get release in America, thus removing the issue of importing specific games, but since I'm pretty sure this site is also followed by Europeans (hopefully...?), this problem of the region lock is not a small thing and, unless you play the most common games, you'll have big troubles wanting to play a particular game, but again, this last point is mostly a big issue for us Europeans, and it saddens me to see the 3DS backtracking, instead of improving. For everyone else, this is a minor **** the first two points still remain and, honestly, I'm terribly disappointed by this new console and, apart for the flashy 3D effects, a "new" interface, new graphics and engine, there is really nothing new and, if nothing, it looks unappealing at the very least...I'll give the rating of 1 because I've learned to not give up expectations yet (and this generation of games had far too many failures), and I will wait for proper improvements and (REAL) new games until then. By the way... in case some people are focusing only on the new features, such as like the camera, the internet, chatting, applications, stores and anything else there is that I barely remember, I have two things to say: 1) I've bought a mini-laptop for an inferior prize and does everything better than the 3DS...except the 3D. 2) I want to play games. I know consoles have evolved into more technological devices, but I still want to play games, and so do kids, so we won't even bother the additional features. Sorry for the rant, but this is my honest thoughts from an ex-nintendo fan.

No charger included in package. Seriously, if I buy a tv or any other electronic and it had no power cable it would be a failure as well. Completely unacceptable to jew the consumer this much.
