    Everything is better with this compared to the DSi according to my daughter. She loves that she can choose to play a 3D game in the 3D version or turn it off and play it non-3D. The graphics and 3D are great! Also, the fact all of her other games with her DSi are compatible. The bigger screen is a must!

    Although smartphones have a huge lead on how many games you can get, there is still no better way to play games on the go with anything other than a dedicated console. I bought the 3DS to play some classic games from N64, like Star Fox 64, Mario 64, Donkey Kong Country, Pilot Wings, and the new Mario games. These cannot be played anywhere else. The 3D quality is great, sound is awesome, and the battery life is good.

    I have no regrets purchasing this. Just need to buy more games. I like the size of the screen and the battery life is great. The 3d works great but can cause head aches. I wouldn't recommend using it in long stretches.

    This was the one thing my kid wanted for Christmas, and fortunately Best Buy had the 3DS in stock. She was very happy to open it, and I was impressed with the 3D, the clarity of the screen, the speed of the processor. I was a bit jealous of her toy, to be honest. Lots of extras built into the 3DS to help keep the kids occupied if they don't have enough games with them. Great product, would recommend.

    This was a replacement as we lost the first one. The color molding is brighter on the new one so hopefully we won't leave it behind again! The games are fun for a wide range of ages and the unit is very kid friendly. The primary user is a 6 year old and he was able to figure out all the functionality on his own.

    The screen is huge, the battery life was moderately improved, the buttons have a much more durable feel, the package is much sleeker and rounded which adds comfort, my old 3DS dug unto my palms after long sessions, the rounded curves of the 3DS mitigate that well.

    I bought a 3DS because all the great games that are already out and a lot more that are coming up, I decided to go for the XL because it has larger screens an a longer battery life, and because its a little bigger than the original 3DS it feels more comfortable in my hands (I have big hands). The games I recommend to get with a 3DS are Fire Emblem or Super Mario 3D land both are really good, and there are a lot more but I don't want this to become a list The color is perfect, way better than expected, the pictures don't represent how it actually looks, its way better in person, it has some sort of metallic look that its really good looking If you really like Nintendo games then I fully recommend the 3DS

    This purchase was to upgrade a regular DS and gain access to new games. The 3D effects are cool for a while though my child will often disable them after a few minutes of play. Battery life is adequate, though the addition of a car charger saved us a couple of times. Coupled with the purchase of the new Disney magical worlds game card, this handheld has already had hours of play.

    The product is a wonderful product. It's big enough for my son to hold in his hands. He also has the availability of 2 large dual screens which is great. The game console allows other DSI games to be played on the console. The battery life isn't that great, but, the way my son plays his games also contributes to the lifespan of his battery. The product keeps my son active and quiet. I often don't realize that he is in the house. He has the option to download games. The console allows for wifi use which is great. When we are out on the go my son have many activities that will engage him while playing with his DSI-3D. The console is awesome and you can choose from a variety of colors. There should be a longer warranty period from the company. The product has exceeded my expectation. Once again, Nintendo has done a superb job with the DSI-3D. Happy in NEW York, NY
