Level-5 has been criticised by some for resting on its laurels, becoming increasingly complacent following the mega-hit of Professor Layton and the Curious Village , milking the intriguing series dry with subsequent Nintendo DS adventures, Professor Layton and Pandora's Box , Professor Layton and...

TechEye got a Nintendo 3DS sample unit to play with last week, over half a year after first manhandling it at the Gamescom show in Cologne. It has to be said, playing with Nintendogs and brawling through Streetfighter managed to make us feel 13 again.

Excellent handling and good build quality; Excellent autostereoscopic screen; A bunch of great games set to be released

Don't expect a graphical revolution; Mobile handsets with higher specs will appear soon

Nintendo's follow-up to their highly successful Nintendo DS & DS Lite comes their first real attempt at 3-dimensions in their latest handheld console, aptly named the 3DS. The 3DSs visuals and design are very much simiilar to its predecessor, retaining its dual screen approach, with the added nub...

Came in a little late but that was due to Fed Ex, but it was great. Worked just perfectly, it seems better then the one I get from Gamestop and the staff was super helpful and did everything in their power to get this to me.

never owned a DS until now but i have tried them all from my little cousins,and the 3DS XL was the better choice for me (29 year old adult) i really wanted the grey and black XL thats in europe too bad its not available here in the U.S.

90% bigger screen than original 3DS, backwards compatible with older DS games; 3D effect on the XL looks better on the bigger screen

battery life; only 2 colors to pick from

Overall, this is easily the best console I have ever used as well as the most fun. Everyday I enjoy using it and I always get excited when I see that I received streetpass data. A great console that I recommend to everyone.

Streetpass and Spotpass bring in plenty of new stuff regularly; Great games available; 3D effect is great for games and makes them nicer to play; Can record 3D video and take 3D pictures; Can playback songs put on the SD card

Short battery life; Camera is a little low quality; No true multitasking

I typically don't go for these types of games and systems but I have to say I love my 3DS! The 3D is really neat. It's not like "Oh my gosh! I feel like I need to reach out and touch it!", but you can see it pop off the screen.

i bought this item after being told i could play 3d games anywhere. i bought it and but what i found out that it does not work if you where glasses. i can only use 2d mode, i paid so much more for 3d that i cant use! if you wear glasses, try it before you buy it.

I have had this console for 3 years, and although I haven't been a fan of gaming consoles these past years, I made an exception. The reason for this is because I wanted to try out the Pokemon games and also have something to play with while on the move.

Love it for my daughter. It's the old design but a newer version and 3D which u can turn off. She is going to love it on Christmas Day!
