Now that Nintendo have released a software upgrade for their Operating System on the 3DS, this is probably the best time to purchase this console. The games on this console are amazing and Nintendo have really upped the ante in the world of potable ga...

3D works well, comes with dock and included games, 3D is optional, has potential
One analogue stick, 3Dinduced headaches, no unique games yet, low quality cameras, battery life poor, expensive at $400
There is plenty of charm and this could be a viable alternative to Sony's latest offering. But instead of feeling great, the console feels mediocre....
Solid build, 3D effect is fun (if not revolutionary), some neat little incentives to take it out and about
Nintendo is still stuck in the '90s when it comes to online connectivity and socialising
Ultimately the quality of a console is the sum of its games. The Nintendo 3DS has all the potential in the world to do as well as the DS, but some irritating flaws have not been remedied...
The Nintendo 3DS is available in two colours – Aqua Blue and Cosmos Black – and is an entertaining package for players of all ages.It maintains the features that made the DS such an irresistible product and adds a whole new layer of 3D features that offer...

The Nintendo 3DS provides an impressive 3D gaming experience without the need for special glasses. There's a 3D effect slider, it shoots and displays 3D photographs with its dual back-facing cameras, and it has a single front-facing camera. The 3DS comes
The disappointing low-resolution lenses on the 3DS provide grainy photos. The 3D effect can cause headaches for some, and it can "snap out" because of sensitive viewing angles and games that encourage movement. The 3DS also has a very short battery life
The Nintendo 3DS successfully offers a glasses-free 3D experience that needs to be seen to be believed. A weak start out of the gate has been all but forgotten thanks to a bevy of compelling releases on online downloadables since launch....
Abstract: Video review: With Nintendo and Sony both trying to one-up each other on a regular basis, it becomes hard to know if the sensational advertising is really what you're going to be buying. So far this year, both Nintendo and Sony have promised a new generation of ha...
3D gaming experience is surprisingly good, - Sound build quality, - Ability to turn 3D off, - Large games selection, - Can play DSi & DSLite games, - Can create your own and keep others Miis, - Nintendo eShop, - Parental controls
Games are expensive, - Picture quality is poor, - Advised not to use 3D more than an hour, - Advised not to let anyone under 7 use device in 3D mode, - Have to get just the right distance & angle for 3D to look correct
Abstract: From a hardware point of view, the 3DS hasn't changed much since I looked at it earlier in the year. The software and price, on the other hard, have changed quite...
