After working hard and gaining a substantial amount of money, I decided to get my hands on the new Nintendo 3DS.  I've been a great fan of Nintendo, playing their addicting and fun-filled games.  With the New DS upgrade in the family along with a number of great games announced to release during E3, I finally bought one.  The console doesn't disappoint.  Well, soon it won't anyway.

When beginning to try out the 3DS, the 3D effects CAN get a little tiring.  Your eyes may strain a little after playing for a few hours, but once you get used to it, it will go away.  In addition, there's a 3D depth slider you can adjust to whatever suits your eyes.  It's a great feature, I find myself adjusting the slider to explore the difference it makes to my games.

In terms of hardware, the 3DS is slightly not up to par with what I expected.  Using the 3D camera is an awesome feature, as well as the augmented reality games and the "Face Raiders" game, but the quality of the camera is kind of depressing, with a low 0.3 MP camera outside and inside.  In addition, the built'in internet browser is a little difficult to use, without Flash compatibility also.  However, the 3DS isn't for surfing the web or taking pictures, it's for playing games.  The new analog stick, accelerometer, and gyroscope at a brand-new spectrum of possibility for developers, and hopefully they will take advantage of that soon.

The price of the hardware is also hefty, at $250, but with the games the console provides it will be worth it.  Bottom line:  You have lots of games, the 3DS is bomb.

Pros:
-Great games
-3D function
-Great features (camera, internet, gryoscope, accelerometer, 3D)

Cons
-Price
-Low quality camera
-Only worth the price if you have a supply of games

In the end, I give this product an 8 out of 10.  Check back for more reviews soon!
