As prepared as you may think you are after the raucous, widespread hype Nintendo’s new video games console has garnered, the first time you peer into the screen of the 3DS –the revolutionary glasses-free 3D handheld– it catches you off guard. Your brain just isn’t ready for it, your eyes squinting and focussing, just to make the 3D ‘work’. But the best thing to try is not try at all. You do have to position the console just so, but once you relax and find that sweet spot, the experience is disorientating yet mesmerising.
The only real knock was the “paltry battery life” that could “leave a lot of commuters disappointed halfway through an important boss battle.” That said, reviewer Tom Higgins also recommending trying before you buy to ensure you’re eyes are comfortable with the glassess-less technology.
Really want to try this thing out. Don't think I'll be buying at launch due to lack of funds and disinterest in launch titles, but would like to experience it just the same.
"disorientating yet mesmerising" sounds great to me. can't wait to try it out.
guess that will happen sometime at gamestop. i remember trying virtual boy first at blockbuster. and then, also at blockbusters, making mario run in a circle for the first time in mario 64. but with no more blockbusters…. to gamestop it is!
Im excited.. This is gonna a long 27ish days though.
ok I just want to get this out that it's not Nintendo's fault for the poor battery life…
We all knew that the 3DS will be grabbing a lot of power but here is the thing today's battery tech is not that great right now but future tech on batteries are coming it's just it cost too much on future batteries for devices so that's all I'm going to say.
Why does the 3DS in that Picture have 2 circle pads?? I like the idea actually, wish they did that with the 3DS now for FPS 😀
Whoa, what's with the dual slide pad image?
It's a clear and obvious PS job, you can see the discoloration…
Well, yeah, duh. I mean, why use that image when we know what the console looks like? This isn't a post on what we wish the 3DS was…
I'm ready to be disoriented and mesmerized. I'm guessing the less 3D we use the longer the battery life?
