The editors didn't like

  • Why is the power button on the front edge? I'm always worried it's going to turn off in my pocket. It hasn't yet

  • Still difficult to find in North America
  • Good luck finding cheap games
  • Screen tech still outdated in other ways
  • Improved cameras remain unusably bad
  • C-stick doesn't work for all types of games
