Solid build, 3D effect is fun (if not revolutionary), some neat little incentives to take it out and about
Nintendo is still stuck in the '90s when it comes to online connectivity and socialising
Ultimately the quality of a console is the sum of its games. The Nintendo 3DS has all the potential in the world to do as well as the DS, but some irritating flaws have not been remedied...

The Nintendo 3DS provides an impressive 3D gaming experience without the need for special glasses. There's a 3D effect slider, it shoots and displays 3D photographs with its dual back-facing cameras, and it has a single front-facing camera. The 3DS comes
The disappointing low-resolution lenses on the 3DS provide grainy photos. The 3D effect can cause headaches for some, and it can "snap out" because of sensitive viewing angles and games that encourage movement. The 3DS also has a very short battery life
The Nintendo 3DS successfully offers a glasses-free 3D experience that needs to be seen to be believed. A weak start out of the gate has been all but forgotten thanks to a bevy of compelling releases on online downloadables since launch....

3D without glasses, Best DS graphics yet, Augmented reality shows potential
3 hour battery life is poor
The 3DS outdoes its predecessors significantly when it comes to power and visual output, which means Ninty players can look forward to demanding names like Resident Evil and Metal Gear Solid in the future.This is a device that's going to grab everyone all...
Abstract: I can't explain why, but I am convinced that small, portable 3-D screens that don't require glasses are finally going to bring 3-D films (and, more significantly, home video and photography) into the mainstream. I would go so far as predicting that the iP...
Abstract: The much-hyped Nintendo 3DS will launch on March 27, costing $249 in the US - in Europe, Nintendo says neatly, it's anyone's guess, as retailers will set the price.The form factor's much like the DSi. At the massive but rather chaotic European launch...
Positively crammed with features and the 3D effect is very impressive,
Battery life is on the short side.
The Nintendo 3DS is a marked step forward in portable gaming. With glasses-free 3D, built-in motion controls, a 3D camera and novel touches such as StreetPass, the device boasts innovation in spades. Most importantly, the 3D effect works really well, l...
