I well not be getting a 3DS for a few weeks due to some of my own budget spending but I well be getting one soon, that being said there is a system on display at your local best buy, and has bin on display the day before release I took time to walk over and check it out.
First off every ones big question is HOW IS THE 3D, and I have to say its amazing, that being said you well definitely be using the 3D slider this works the same way as being in a 3D movie, it helps to find the seating that is best for your eyes in a 3D movie. The depth slider acts the same way, and can modify best for your yes, AND can allow give you some wiggle room distance wise form the screen, I found I could look at the 3D screen really well even at 2.5 feet away. So don’t let others fool you with stories about blur, but it well if you tilt it to much at a angle how ever.
Now the system they had on display had a cut away that would not let me go to the home menu and would only start a load up of pilot wings. OK next question IS 3D a need…..well NO, but neither is a lot of things, but it can help, pilot wings was a good game to play because it made the back ground seem father away and added that depth making the 3DS like a window for me to look out of and see the world of pilot wings. And it made things like trees, balloons, clouds, and menus, and even your air craft have some depth with helped you better manage how to fly the plane, the reason this is, is because like your eyes you see not just 2 images but from 2 angels allowing a ball to look round not a flat circle. And thus this new angled view in games allowed you to see a left and a right side of the plane and other objects, giving you more sense of ware the objects were in space. So dues it change game play? Yes and no. it can make it better, but having used gaming so long with out 3D is going to make some say that its not needed, but when I pick up a peace of hard ware I like to see what the experience is from that moment not looking back. And the 3D can help, and again no only can the slider help you see the 3D to fit for you, and it dues so really well, but you can also just turn it off if you want. The stylus also has a nice build on it, looking at in photos and videos I have to say that the stylus looked flimsy and fragile but I have to say that it also surprised me. What I did not expect was the size, it is much smaller then I expected and also much lighter, the system they had in the store had all kinds of cords and even a heavy metal plate on the back, but even with all that it felt like how I expected which means with out all the cords, cables, and plate the system well but lighter, and thus it was nice feel, the 360 pad on the device was very nice and moved well, it had a nice grip and really was a big game changer. As for the old arrow pad, it is slightly sharper in build and after a few hours of game play might make your thumb sore, but ughh details, details,! The system was a lot of fun and the graphics were amazing and the 250$ price tag seem well worth it seeing all that Nintendo has put into the system and still what’s to come. I was not able to play with the camera or the AR games since I could not go into the home screen but just the same I well give in depth detail on that when I get hands on with it, and I well be youtubing those blogs as well.

Finely ill talk about the look. Photos don’t do it justice nor do videos, the outer shell of the flip screen (the top 3D screen) has a strange gloss around it that if looked at just right seems like a jell almost, and there is a metal shell under that which makes the system have a sort of magical feel just by looking at the out side. Then there is the bottom half the buttons feel metallic but are not, but look nice, kind of glittery but not in a cheep way. The select home and start button are nice and even though they seem flush with the system they still deliver a nice click and a slight tactile bump. The shoulder buttons seem small, I had a original DS and a DSI (black) and the shoulder buttons on the first DS were a good size much like the GBA, and it seams by my recall that the DSI had bugger shoulder buttons as well, that not really being hear nor their simply pointing out that it seems smaller if that’s a issue to you. All things said I think it delivered on its promise at least with the small and limited hands on that I had with the system.
And when I get one in a short time I well be sure to fallow up with all kinds of up a close bits.
