    Bought in hopes it was a larger leap from last model. While the 3d stability was cool. It still was fairly sluggish and old feeling operating system.

    This was a gift for my nephew (7) and it went over very well! First off , the appearance is stunning. This galaxy model was the right pick. Second and the biggest test of all...my nephew is super happy with it! He is on it all the time. The options and games are great.

    Pokemon games are fun to play. The 3d graphics are really cool. The battery life span is good. The games play easily. The graphics are pretty much the same as normal ds. The price was fair for the player console and also for the games. Needs more variety of games available.

    bought this as a gift because i loved mine so much, this little handheld is super fun and addicting. everyone absolutely loves it and wanted to play with it. The battery life is amazing, and so many of the old game are playable via the nintendo store.

    Great system. Just one thing about it. Buy a separate charger because amazingly Nintendo doesnt provide it.

    My older teenager had two prior versions of a DS and always enjoyed the games designed for these handheld systems. For a holiday, we purchased this upgrade...specifically with the galaxy design. A little bit of patience paid off in locating this during the holidays.

    New 3DS is an amazing gaming system with some of the best exclusive games out there bar none (hello Pokémon!), the Galaxy Style is a special edition -- while it's nothing more than the cover, it adds that extra special touch to the experience if you like its looks.

    I love this model, but the 3D can sometimes be a little tricky if you play at various positions. That can be fixed by just turning it off though! Haha! This is the only Nintendo handheld or console for that matter that I purchased since N64! Can't wait for the switch!

    Had a very hard time finding this ds in stock. Best Buy came thru for my kid just in time for Christmas! The unit is lovely and the screen is a nice size. Great management staff at the store actually made sure we had our ds (which we ordered) in time for Christmas.

    Great 3D - definitely improved over prior models

    Has a greater field of view for 3D effect as compared to prior models. Bigger, brighter screens. Doesn't include power supply for charging battery - not a big deal if you are a prior 2DS/3DS owner - just reuse your existing power charger that came with those units.

    My son loves it. I think it’s better than the Nintendo game boy that we grew up with because of all the internet features. I don’t know how this compares to the switch though, I was told by another customer to look into that as my next purchase.

    Absolutely thrilled with the fact that I can purchase from Best Buy...Living in the USVI means we have few options when it comes to purchasing "techy" stuff, so when I realized I could I immediately jumped at the chance!..I received the product intact, and the price was great...My only complaint was that it took forever to get to me, which is why I didn't give it 5 stars...But otherwise, happy with my purchase....
