The 3DS is a slick and worthy successor to the DS, but I can't faithfully recommend it right now on account of its weak battery life, poor selection of launch games, and hefty $250 price tag. Launching without a Super Mario game was a mistake (my eyes tur...
3D effects look great, Outstanding extras and preloaded software, Wellrounded experience provides fun even when not playing games,
Poor battery life, Weak launch line up, Steep price point

Circle pad, immense options, increased durability, 3D effects/screen options, sensor gameplay incorporation, continuous play through “suspended” feature, augmented reality game, and high discovery experience even without online features
High price, flash/zoom camera functions, short battery life, and “update” fatigue – the Nintendo DSi was released only two years ago
