The editors liked

  • Solid build
  • 3D effect is fun (if not revolutionary)
  • Some neat little incentives to take it out and about
  • 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
  • Fun
  • Glasses-free 3D works
  • Superb controls
  • Mini-games included
  • Well-built
  • 3D works well
  • Comes with dock and included games
  • 3D is optional
  • Has potential

The editors didn't like

  • Nintendo is still stuck in the '90s when it comes to online connectivity and socialising
  • 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
  • Poor battery life
  • Proprietary charge
  • Region-locked games
  • One analogue stick
  • 3Dinduced headaches
  • No unique games yet
  • Low quality cameras
  • Battery life poor
  • Expensive at $400

  • 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

  • Cool 3D effects, Plays normal DSi games
  • 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.
  • and the iPod questionIt's easy to like the 3DS as what it is, a dedicated game system. Enjoying it depends on getting the right titles; if you manage that, it's a pleasure to pop it open and play. The initial launch lineup wasn't outstanding, although...

  • 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

  • Abstract:  The 3DS, Nintendo’s latest portable gaming platform and the first with a 3D display, made its U.S. debut on March 27th. Nintendo moved 400,000 units on launch day in Japan, and Amazon U.K. said the device broke console pre-order records as well. So, be...
