Synopsis

The Nintendo 3DS has transformed the handheld console into a window to other worlds. Prepare to venture into the next dimension of gaming in sleek style with this Midnight Purple model. Brilliant action, vibrant colors and 3D depth await you on the other side of the Nintendo 3DS's top screen. Able to be viewed with the naked eye, the system provides an elegant way to enhance your viewing experience. Adjust the Depth Slider to determine how much 3D you want to see, from no 3D all the way to the wondrous world of maximum 3D.

In addition to 3D visuals, the Nintendo 3DS allows you to change your perception of the world around you with fascinating augmented reality games and built-in applications. Operate the bottom touch screen with the telescoping stylus that can be stored inside the system. Take pictures and more with the inward-facing camera and dual outward-facing cameras. When you move the handheld system around, it knows: the built-in gyro sensor, motion sensor and pedometer detect movement to enrich your gaming experience. Are you ready to enter a whole new world of handheld gaming?

Nintendo - 3DS (Midnight Purple) (24 out of 27)
This product is fantastic!

Posted by: from san antonio, tx on 05/17/2013This is a really great product. You are able to play regular DS games on the console. The graphics are wonderful and the camera on it, is fun to use. I love the fact that it has Wi-Fi and you are able to use the web or even watch netflix movies on the console.

Great game system for young kids

Posted by: from Gainesville, VA on 05/08/2013I got this for my son and he loves it. He plays it quite often and I love the long battery life. When I have things to do and he has to come, it keeps him entertained while I get my errands run. It is durable and very easy to use. It also has parental control settings to keep him out of things he should not be in and a game rating setting so that if he should try to play a game rated higher than where I have set it, the game will not work. I love it and so does my son.

Great console

Posted by: from Atlanta on 04/13/2013We bought the purple one for our daughter and she loves it. Our daughter plays with it almost everyday, and it's a life saver on long drives. Other thoughts: initially I was concerned about it's durability but it has held up well given the number of times it has been dropped.

The best handheld gaming system available
5
Posted by: from Austin, TX on 04/13/2013I bought my 3DS for Fire Emblem: Awakening, and the new Pokemon game. It's easy to setup, took me five minutes. The best thing is being able to play games in 3D. The only problem I have is that the battery life seems slightly smaller then the DS lite's battery.

Works as expected

Posted by: from McChord AFB on 04/02/2013Our son has a 3d DS, and our daughter wanted one for her birthday. Purple is her favorite color and she was excited to see it available. I would recommend that you purchase the protection if you are purchasing it for small children. We have used the protection for our sons DS several times for the charger connection coming loose and receiving an error message stating that a game has not been inserted when it has. I have found both of these issues to be common problems in our experience. With the protection plan, these issues have been resolved promptly without question.
