Nintendo 3DS: A Review

Jan 14, 2012 By Armaan, 12

Recently, Nintendo has improved on its handheld systems. After they made the DS Lite in 2006, which I bought, they have made the DSi, DSi XL, and 3DS. I decided to get the 3DS, and here is a comparison of the 3DS and the DS Lite.

3DS Improvements

3D obviously, as it is called the 3DS. The 3D is dizzying at first butt dazzling afterwards. they added a 3D depth slider to control the 3D amount. 

Mii Maker allows you to play new games with your own mii. Other connections to the wii include sensing when you move it, downloading game previews from the Wii, and, my favorite addition, the control stick, like the nunchuk.

3D camera- Another fun addition. Pictures can now be more real.

Minigames- Some things the DS doesn't have, including Face Raiders, a shooting game with the new camera involved. It is also has AR games.

Needs improvement

Two bad things about the 3DS is the lack of a stylus hole, which isn't too annoying, and the fact you can't play GBA games anymore, but barely anyone plays those anymore.

While the games so far are mostly remakes, soon, the 3DS will have new, better games. If you don't have a handheld system yet, this is a great pick. Try one today!

this review is SUPER WRONG.
there IS a stylus hole.
you can use regular ds games but you won't see 3D.
It is very good.
I got it for my birthday today. I turned 11.

greensalmon   40 weeks ago

I have dsi xl. no stylus hole would KILL ME. i lose stylus-us very quickly and have already lost like 3. but 3ds sounds fun, maybe i could just get a 3rd nintendo ds.

I personally, are easly addicted to these handheld video games. When I play them at my friend's house, I pay less attetion to my friend and more to the Nitendo 3DS! (They have already purchased three Nitendo 3DS's) So personally, I don't want to get sucked into them. But I must admit, they are pretty cool, they just don't have any cool games.

3D can hurt kids and adults eyes, but for little kids it can damage their eyes!:(
We went to my freinds house and my little brother played it in 3D, his eyes hurt for a week!

i don't think that a ds 3d is the special because 3D isn't that great

I think that it's weird that game companies are so desperate for new ideas that they are adding 3D to their devices! What has the world come to?

JENNAH H_C   1 year ago

yes i know, its an awesome article! 3d on devices, especially video games, weird! but it is cool, still

The launch was lousy, steel driver, pilot wings resort,and Dogs + cats what the heck? allthough there were a few good games such as Ocirena of time Mario cart 7 and mario 3d land. it caused nintendo to have a major price drop. in my opinion the launch grade was a D

I dont have the 3DS but ive tried it in walmart and i really dont think they should have made it because the 3D isnt really that cool. It isnt cool because its just like a normal DS.
