Impressive 3D gaming experience sans special glasses; shoots and displays 3D photographs with its dual back-facing cameras; front-facing camera; preinstalled with a bevy of software and StreetPass and SpotPass services; comes with a drop and charge dock; eShop, including GBA Virtual Console, Internet browsing functionality, DSiWare transferring, and Netflix support, is coming in May.
Launch lineup is lackluster; disappointing low-resolution lenses provide grainy photos; 3D effect can cause headaches for some; "snap out" due to sensitive viewing angles and games that encourage movement; very short battery life; most Internet functionality isn't activated at launch; expensive; may not provide enough value and functionality for those looking for an all-in-one device.
Though it's a bit pricey, the Nintendo 3DS successfully offers a glasses-less 3D experience that needs to be seen to be believed. A weaker-than-usual launch lineup and some inactivated online features dampen its launch, but the future certainly looks ...

Abstract: The much-hyped Nintendo 3DS will launch on March 27, costing $249 in the US - in Europe, Nintendo says neatly, it's anyone's guess, as retailers will set the price.The form factor's much like the DSi. At the massive but rather chaotic European launch...
Positively crammed with features and the 3D effect is very impressive,
Battery life is on the short side.
The Nintendo 3DS is a marked step forward in portable gaming. With glasses-free 3D, built-in motion controls, a 3D camera and novel touches such as StreetPass, the device boasts innovation in spades. Most importantly, the 3D effect works really well, l...
The Nintendo 3DS’ appearance greatly resembles the Nintendo DS Lite, in terms of design and layout, but there are several key hardware features that help it stand out.At the back, there are two outer cameras to help take 3D photos and one inner camera....
Overall, the Nintendo 3DS is more than what I expected, even if Nintendo is hiding my ice cream cone.TweetTop 5 Related Pages...Nintendo At E3 2010 – A Hardcore Gamer’s ReviewNintendo 3DS Preview Event Review – Is This Handheld 3D Gaming Console A Game...

Game & Watch, third-party licensing, Mode-7, Super Mario 64, Game Boy, DS, Wii. The 3DS rightly deserves a place among the pantheon of iconic Nintendo innovations. Who better than the Grandmaster of Gaming to take us through our first tentative steps in t...
