Glasses-free 3D here today, Backward-compatible to DS/DSi games and DSiWare, Bonus: Built-in 3D camera for sweet stills and more
Expect some eye fatigue over long stretches, Limited titles at launch
I found the Nintendo 3DS to be the most enjoyable, and most comfortable, in small doses, which is perfect for the casual gamer, or anyone with a lot of other stuff going on in his or her life. The quick levels of the titles I tried helped to stave off...
3D screen doesn't require glasses, Bright, clear color, Online game downloads, Two cameras (one in 3D), Compatible with previous Nintendo DS games,
3D requires viewing from a particular angle, Not compatible with GameBoy Advance titles, Shorter battery life than predecessors, Not many games take advantage of 3D yet, Cameras are low resolution
No overly compelling games are available, Expensive
If you can find something to like in the current 3D games out for the 3DS the portable is worth the money. I also suspect that games will catch up with some compelling titles offered in time for the holiday season. Don't miss ... shopping Best New...
3D works surprisingly well. Bright, beautiful screen. Analog thumb pad is comfortable. Compatible with DS game titles.
3D can be hit or miss; requires watching the screen at just the right angle. Mediocre battery life.
A time-tested game system design coupled with innovative, convincing 3D technology, makes the Nintendo 3DS a force to be reckoned with. It's not only the most advanced Nintendo DS yet, but a solid first in a new generation of handheld game systems. Bu...
Fun, adjustable 3D effect, Much improved graphics that expand gameplay types, A few good launch titles, Good hardware controls, Easy interface beyond games, StreetPass and SpotPass good for getting outside,
Short battery life, Much costlier than an iPod touch, Not as flexible as the iPod or other multirole handhelds, No browser or online game store on launch.

The 3DS is a slick and worthy successor to the DS, but I can't faithfully recommend it right now on account of its weak battery life, poor selection of launch games, and hefty $250 price tag. Launching without a Super Mario game was a mistake (my eyes tur...
3D effects look great, Outstanding extras and preloaded software, Wellrounded experience provides fun even when not playing games,
Poor battery life, Weak launch line up, Steep price point
The Nintendo 3DS is, for the most part, a success. It's one of the most feature-packed, well-rounded approaches to a device that Nintendo has taken thus far; the 3DS combines media and gaming to create something that is more of an entertainment system...
Circle pad, immense options, increased durability, 3D effects/screen options, sensor gameplay incorporation, continuous play through “suspended” feature, augmented reality game, and high discovery experience even without online features
High price, flash/zoom camera functions, short battery life, and “update” fatigue – the Nintendo DSi was released only two years ago
