  • 3D effect works really well; takes 3D photos; comfortable, responsive controls; packed full of extra features
  • Disappointing battery life; low-resolution cameras
  • The Nintendo 3DS' 3D capability is its headline feature, but really it's just the icing on the cake. This feature-packed little console offers tonnes of fun, even if its battery life is slightly pants....

  • Bigger screen looks great, 3D sweet spot much larger, Comfortable curved design
  • Build feels a bit cheap, Heft makes it cumbersome, Bland styling
  • The 3DS XL is a portable gaming professional with much to recommend about it, a whopping great screen and a decent raft of games being high among them. While smartphones reign the masses, the 3DS has proven there is still a market for dedicated gaming han...

  • At the end of the day the Nintendo 3DS greatly impressed us with its sleek interface, beautiful 3D, augmented reality and a range of additional features. The 3D effect itself won’t have a major effect on most titles’ gameplay, but it truly adds to thei...

  • Abstract:  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...

  • 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 ...

  • 3D; augmented reality games and StreetPass are fun and new; built-in games are pretty fun.
  • Needs more 3DS games; battery life comparable to a mayfly's; regionlocked games may be a ­downer to some.
  • The machine's battery life might be laughable and it might be a while before we get to play great 3DS games but we love the Nintendo 3DS. And it's not just because it features a lot of fancy new technologies, either. In the end, for gamers, it's less ...
