    The graphics look amazing but i hate the fact they dont include an ac adapter and so you are forced to buy on.

    I love the 3ds just not use to it being so big. The 3D I really could go without. I just love the size of the device.

    The larger screen is definitely worth it to me. Younger kids might not care as much but older ones would notice.

    Longtime gamer from the NES days. After reading that the Njntendo shop would allow me to play some of the classics I miss from years past (Super Mario Bros, Super Mario 3, etc) I knew I wanted a DS for the sake of nostalgia. Great platform. Definitely designed with kids in mind though...I'm not a big guy but I find that the buttons are so small and close together that sometimes controls can be difficult to use properly or uncomfortable to use. Still a great console to have.

    The new 3DS XL is awesome. The new mini control stick is great for games that support it and adds a bit of precision for things like shooting those darn skulltula in Majora's Mask. The user-interface is typical of the 3DS line of systems. The hardware is an improvement of what you came to expect from the original 3DS systems. With the online store, there is really no need to purchase physical games either, as you can get pretty much anything digitally.

    Great game system, but Nintendo has clearly lost touch with reality. Try explaining to a 10 year that the new Hand held game system they got for being a really good girl is unplayable out of the box. You must go back to the store the following day to buy the $15.00 proprietary battery charger required for use that literally nobody will tell you about ahead of time. This is the only time I’ve seen in 40 years this happened.

    Kids love it have been playing with it nonstop. Only thing I didn't like was having to buy charger separate.

    I needed to replace my old 3DS XL, due to malfunctioning triggers, and decided to upgrade to the New model. Works just as well as the old model, the C-stick nub is great for playing the few games I own that use it. The auto-brightness is a bit off, but that can be turned off.

    I searched all over town for this color DS. I had to have it! I went into the store and a employee told me to check in the morning using the app bc a truck was coming later that evening. I checked, bought it and picked it up later that day. The most easiest pickup process ever!

    I bought this as a replacement for my red "new" 3DS that my toddler dropped in a full bathtub. Although the features are identical, the "galaxy" design is almost worth the replacement cost. Absolutely, stunningly, beautiful. Easily the best design I've seen in any console.

    Nintendo did a great job with this system. The only problem is that you have to purchase the charger separately.

    I purchased the Nintendo 3DS and I have barely been able to put it down. The game selection available for the device is fantastic. I was skeptical of the "3D' screen effects but it works and works well. Overall I would definitely recommend this to anyone who loves Nintendo games.

    Purchased this after comparison shopping to other retailers. Best Buy had the best price. Love that there are parental controls and you can see when your child has been using the system. Using them I could see when my son had sneaked the system and played after bedtime.

    Great way to show off your love and enthusiasm for one of the greatest Nintendo mascots to ever exist. Besides Mario himself, Pikachu is easily the next most iconic character to best portray all that is great (and sometimes frustratingly annoying) Nintendo franchise!

    My son , 11, has had nintendo ds and an older model of 3ds before.I loved the color of the new nin. 3ds and the fact that the 3d screen is much more stable and doesnt strain the eyes like before. It has a very nice feel and of course my son is very happy to have new games.
