3DS

Nintendo 3DS

On sale in Japan since February 26, 2011, later on in North America and Europe in late March 2011, the revolutionary glasses-free 3D hand held video game system, the Nintendo 3DS, marks the new genre of portable 3D gaming experience, The Nintendo 3DS is the world's first portable 3D video game console that brings video games come to life in 3D and yes, this new category will shape up the Japanese video game brand and to bring the coolest appeal to the customers.

The styling of the 3DS derived from its predecessor, the Nintendo DS, to make it more of an enhanced version of the flip top portable video gaming console, A huge change is the addition of an analog stick that made a huge twist in the 3DS. Another thing standard on the 3DS is the new 3D camera, that allows users to photograph everything and watch them come to life in 3D.

What's included in the 3DS is the built-in software made for fun-to-use every time. It even has a Mii Maker to create your own Miis, which is different from creating Miis from your Wii, AR (augmented reality) games, 3DS sound, which allows you to listen to your favorite music and even record your own sounds, Face Raiders, surf the internet, and others that made the 3DS more interesting to handle.

The 3DS is the world's first portable hand held device that features motion sensor and gyro sensor. Moving the 3DS anywhere you want is like the same way you did from a Wii remote! Just be careful not to pull some epic fails on this feature!

The Nintendo 3DS not only plays 3DS exclusive games but also allows backwards compatibility, allowing the will to play almost all existing DS titles (except Guitar Hero), including Pokemon Black and White versions!

List of 3DS exclusive titles include Super Street Fighter IV, PES/Winning Eleven, and Ridge Racer are finally sold separately by the time the 3DS is here. Other titles such as Biohazard/Resident Evil: The Mercenaries, Metal Gear Solid 3 Snake Eater, Legend of Zelda, and other 3DS exclusive games may soon follow. As for now, feel free to enjoy the rich lineup of 3DS titles and see if which 3DS game best fits you. A lot of Japanese 3DS first timers must have pick the Professor Layton game and even the Ridge Racer 3D game. This must be the start of something new...

Those who are in the US and Europe may have to wait 'till late March and when that happens, it will be a great pasalubong for the kids.

WHAT'S GREAT: 3D, borrowed some features from the DSi, create your own Mii, analog stick, motion sensor, and backwards capability.

WHAT'S NOT SO GREAT: Pricing starts at about 25,000 Japanese Yen, $250 or about 15,000 Philippine Pesos when it arrives. Two colors; Blue and Black
