Customer Ratings & Reviews

I was looking for an affordable, new 3ds and this one does not disappoint. It's sleek, white, and really comfortable for a guy with big hands.

Picked this up black friday, wish i knew before hand this was literally just the unit itself; nothing else included. Luckily found my old dsi charging cable to avoid needing to purchase something required for continued use. Guess you're getting what you pay for. Had i known id probably just gotten the xl instead. The mushroom pattern is nice but the top piece is just like a cover plate.

It's all black but the design is still really nice. Didn't know the faceplates were removeable so that's cool too. I needed a new 3DS since my OG 3DS was on death bed.

The 3DS is a great system with an excellent library of games to choose from. The New iteration adds some nice features including the C-stick which is more of a nub, but very responsive. I don't utilize the 3D functionality regularly but it is pretty effective. This particular system was (at the time) a Black Friday exclusive so unfortunately it may be difficult to find for the $99 price or the regular retail that these systems go for ($149) as resellers have taken advantage of the demand once again, but if you can find one, I recommend it. The design is subtle but pretty cool, and the all black looks great. The system is a little small for larger hands but it's not cramp-inducing. It's a good, lightweight size that fits easily into a pocket. This is the main reason I purchased this particular system. The one downfall to the new design is you have to use a screwdriver to actually get to the micro SD card slot if you want to expand the storage form the 4GB card that it comes with, which I recommend because the library of games on the Virtual Console is massive for this system (Earthbound, anyone?) and a 32GB card will go a long ways for this system. But the need for a tool to do this I feel is a step backwards in design, but it shouldn't be a deal breaker because it's fairly easy to do. Overall, great system. If you're considering a 3DS definitely go with a New or New XL, as games will run smoother. I actually noticed some frame-rate dips on the original 3DSXL while playing Pokemon Sun, which I didn't even think possible on a handheld. This new system is more powerful and has no problems. I recommend it!

My husband and I stood in line on Black Friday to get this deal! We're glad we did! It is an awesome 3DS! I love the white color, the embossing of the characters, that you can change face plates, the color of the buttons & the better quality of the 3D! Plus, the small nub makes games that use 2 joysticks so much better! Smooth controls!

Haven't owned a portable game system since the original Gameboy, and I thought it was a little silly to buy one these days when there are so many games on the phone. Turns out this thing's nice, doesn't need to be connected to the internet all the time and Nintendo makes a lot of classic titles with classic franchises that are all fantastic games. Definitely worth it if you want to catch up on your Pokemon, Zelda, Mario or other games you'll never play on your phone. I've never used another DS or 3DS but this one has a good size and good battery life. While the screen isn't as big as my phone, it's still quite good for playing games. The 3D effect I haven't seen used to any good effect yet so it's a little irrelevant, but I think I prefer this to the larger non-foldable 2DS for portability.

This is a great system with tons of games supporting it. This deal in particular is great for $99. This is a smaller screen than the new 3DS XL or the original 3DS XL but ithe is bigger than the original 3DS. It is more portable than the XL models because of that, which is great. I bought it for my 6 yr old daughter and she loves it. The case design is really nice we got it in white. Her older brother has the older 3DS XL and they love playing games together now. As a parent who has used both screen sizes the smaller size on this is no big deal. My daughter has not said a word about it. I think it probably fits her small hands better anyways. It you are older and have bigger hands I would recommend the XL but for kids or someone looking for a more portable option this is an excellent choice.

This is the smaller version of the new 3ds (previously only available in the large XL version here in the states). It is fully compatible with all games for the 3ds and is a little more portable due to its smaller size. The outer shell can actually be replaced and a new design can be applied by just unscrewing few screws and unsnapping the original one. Love the fact that I can change the design without having to get a new console like the XL version, this along with the fact that it actually fits better in my pockets makes me prefer it to the XL version as there are really no differences software compatibility wise

This smaller and customizable 3DS is a great option for those who may have small children or maybe those who don't prefer the larger equivalent. The cover plates makes it fun to have each 3DS unique to a person's liking. The hardware itself is great, its reported to be much faster then the original 3DS and given the ability to play an additional select few games that require that little extra push. The 3DS's library in my opinion is a great one. I have a Vita (love it), but prefer the variety that comes with the 3DS lineup, and I'm sure any person or child will find something that they will enjoy.

I liked the size of this 3DS better than the XL. I came from a 2DS as I still wanted something smaller but this one has a larger screen than the 2DS/original 3DS while retaining a similar small footprint. It's faster and handles heavy games like Pokemon Sun/Moon and Smash Bros better. The battery is a tiny bit better, about the same, the microSD slot is in an awkward spot but finally supports up to 32GB. Overall I absolutely LOVE this system and it's black friday price was great, I would recommend it for someone who wants a good handheld system that's smaller/cheaper than the 3DS XL.

Purchased this at Best Buy on Thanksgiving and I am glad to have gotten it. Our daughter loves the look and the size is great for the person who finds the xl too large. Everything is easy to reach and the advanced 3d is a big improvement over the older model. Really happy with it being backwards compatible for the older ds games even if they don't all utilize the 3d aspect of the new 3ds. Just remember to purchase a charger because it doesn't come with one. Pretty happy so far and definitely worth the money.

great product even better price. The screen is big enough. Just know it doesn't come with a charging cable for this unit.

However, outside of the color it's a great 3DS and this is coming from someone that has owned 3 3DSes. The screen is bigger than the original 3DS so even though I didn't go with the XL I got a screen that feels bigger and better. The stable 3D is great. The only time it doesn't work now is when i last down on my side and tilt my head at a funny angle. The second little nubby joystick works much better than I expected. It can scan Amiibo. It loads my games faster than my old 3DS.

A must have for anyone that wanted a 3ds and has not had a chance to pick one up yet..It has Mario characters etched throughout the Top outer shell of the system.. great desighn? Check.. price point? $100, check. A Must have for any nintendo 3ds fan, also has the C stick, for extra control when playing games.. Most older versions of 3ds did not come with that feature. So your paying less, and getting more.. please buy one if you can

I'm glad I held out for a smaller system at a lower price. The non-xl format is perfect for commuting and the smaller screen does wonders for the resolution. All the same features as the updated 3ds-xl, but a more pocket-sized, very attractive form factor. Don't forget to grab a charger if you're not updating from another unit!

For $100 bucks, you can't go wrong. It is a wonderful upgrade to the original Nintendo 3DS with amazing 3D, amiibo support, faster processing power. The only thing that I am not a fan of is the stylus. The old 3DS was telescopic but this was is just one size and pretty tiny. Overall, a wonderful machine that I would recommend.

Had to buy this when I heard it was going to be limited. Size is great and the Black looks so good

The console is smaller and feels better than the xl version with all the same functionality. Great for kids or people with smaller hands. The black Friday deal is a great value. People need to stop complaining about the charger thing. $99 +$10 more is better than the regular price.

Bought one for me and the girlfriend. She's obsessed with it as am i. Great size, not too big, not too small. No issues with it playing games. Only issue is the placing of the stylus and the size of it. Easy to lose. Still great though!
