3DS

Wow, has it really been that long since I last posted?!

Anyway,

Hi everyone! I just got a 3DS in blue! It's so awesome! The 3D is AMAZING. It looks like you're looking into a tiny little box!

Hardware

The actual 3DS system, looks really cool. It's almost the same size as the DS Lite and DSi. I got the blue. It's metalic so it looks really awesome. The edges aren't as round as the DS and DSi, making it kind of awkward to hold. Once you get used to it, it's fine.

Camera

The 3D camera is really cool. There are two cameras facing outwards. You press L and R to take photos. The camera itself isn't actually that great, but, it's not like it's Cannon or anything, trying to invent the greatest camera ever.

Mii Maker

Almost the exact same as the Wii, except now you can organize Mii's more with new colour coded rooms. Also more styles of things.

Mii Plaza

Meh... It's kind of fun if you walk round constantly and encounter many Street Passes. Otherwise, it's kind of boring because you need play coins for everything. It's fun to collect Miis though. I also like the hats they have.

Street Pass

It's fun to exchange data with people. It exchanges for lots of titles at the same time, so you don't have to open certain ones to exchange the data for it. I really like this feature because it allows you to connect with people that you don't know so it's kind of like opening a present, in a way, when you see the green light flashing.

Nintendo 3DS Sound

So awesome. If you have a computer that reads SD cards, or an SD card reader, you can put songs on it and listen to it, as if it were an iPod, so that's pretty cool. Another thing I like it that you can warp songs to make them faster, higher pitch, lower pitch, and so on. You can also record short little messages onto it too.

Face Raiders

I don't know why, but I really suck at this game. Lol. I like it, because it's fun, but it's hard to aim, because, I'm one of those people that doesn't like to get up and move around to play video games, but you kind of have to for face raiders because the faces show up right behind you. It's still really fun, though.

AR Games

This is actually really cool. The system comes with these cards that you put on a desk or something and then little characters show up on the 3DS screen and you can move them around and stuff. It's really cute. The cards they have are the ? block from Mario, Mario himself, Samus, Kirby, Link, and Pikmin.

Nintendogs + Cats Golden Retriever.

It's so cute! I have a Shiba Inu named Zelda and a Standard black cat I named Shadow (Link). The cats are, unfortunately not a huge part of the game. They're more of a cute add on to your house. The graphics are so good in the game, it's insane. They added a few more extras that weren't in previous titles.

Over All

The Nintendo 3DS system is really cool, but I think they should've finished things such as the internet and the Nintendo e-shop. I'm looking forward to Ocarina of Time 3D and Animal Crossing 3D. All in all, it's really cool. Definitely worth it.
