My Nintendo 3DS review

I have now owned the 3DS for four days. And I think it's time to review it. I will do it in a pro and con dot form.

Pros -
- Amazing glasses less 3D. The 3D isn't as stick out at you like the 3D that requires glasses. It looks more like you're looking into a deep box. As if there is a box behind the system. But there are moments where things look like they are sticking out at you. For instance a beetle landed on the screen at one point and I felt myself wanting to brush it away.

- The graphics. I have only tried two games and seen many videos for others but from what I have seen the graphics are pretty top notch. Resident Evil: The Mercenaries 3D almost looks on par with Resident Evil 5 from what I have seen. And Super Street Fighter IV 3D Edition looks almost as good as the 360 version. The graphics are in between the Wii and the 360.

- Built in software. The system comes with some great software. Like face raiders. A game that lets you take photos of peoples faces and then puts them in various helmets. They then pop up as enemies around the room and you use the cameras to look around the room and shoot them. Hilarious stuff. Mii plaza allows you to make Miis just like the Wii. 3DS sound lets you play music and edit it. Record your voice and make yourself sound like a budgie.

- Cameras. The two outside cameras let you take and view photos in 3D.

- AR Games. Augmented Reality. This is really hard to explain but it's damn brilliant. I suggest looking it up. Almost endless possibilities.

- The slider. Like a control stick but really flat and cool. Works great.


Cons
- Battery life. The battery only lasts about 5 hours when using 3D. And roughly 7 with 3D and wireless turned off. Not impressed.

-Design flaws. The top screen hinge is quite weak. Can make the motion controls like lifting the system up to snag a fish while fishing quite awkward due to the screen flipping back. Needs to be stronger if motion controls are going to be used a lot. Due to the top screen being bigger than the bottom one and the border around the bottom screen sticking up a bit, every time I close the system I end up with lines on the top screen that I always have to wipe off. Pen is located in awkward position.

Will add more pros and cons as I use the system some more. If there is anything you would like to know feel free to ask.

Yeah it really is a pity that hardly any games are out any time soon. I'm looking forward to Resident Evil Mercenaries, Resident Evil Revelations, Ocarina of Time and Mario Kart 3D.

I got Rabbids 3D with the system and I got Pilotwings Resort today. Rabbids is fun while it lasts but it's extremely easy. Pilotwings is great so far. Loving the 3D.

Only if I play for over an hour.. I think it varies from person to person. The system recommends you take breaks every 30mins but who is going to do that.
