3DS impressions

So now that it's been out for a few years, how do you think it compares to the regular DS series?

To me it's definitely a vast improvement over DS (aside from the obvious graphical enhancements), stuff like the interfaces and the whole Streetpass thing are really well done, it's really great how much stuff to do Nintendo's giving you without actually buying a 3DS game.

Personally, I've had zero problems with the 3D. It works great for me, and while there is indeed a rather narrow sweet spot you need to be in to view the 3D effect, it's easily maintained, to me, and after a while it becomes second nature. The system itself is also really comfortable to hold, even with my rather large hands and after becoming so used to my DSiXL. It just feels like better quality when you're holding it, too.

I actually really like it. I used to own a regular DS Lite, and this is one big step ahead for Nintendo.

The 3D-ness is effective, and works really well within games. Some are more 3D than others, but that's OK. Some of the features are decent too, the camera and some other apps. It's still compact in size, although it's a little heavier.
