Nintendo 3DS Launch
Mar 27th
We were live at Game-Stop early this morning to catch the Launch of the Nintendo 3DS. We went to our Local Game-Stop. When we got there there was around 10 people outside waiting to get in. They were very excited for it. Keep in mind many of them had already pre-ordered the game, from Game-Stop. They also had a good amount of the Unit’s and the Games on hand. They were also very good about making the lines move quickly. One young kid said, “I am very excited to get. It looks good”. He was able to get his very quickly and walked out with it in his hands. One other person we met with said this, ” I played it earlier at one of the demo events. It was awesome to finally see it. My old DS was kind getting worn out, so i deiced to get the new one; Either i would have gotten it. I also got a copy of “Street Fighter 4″. I was also surprised that it was one of there launch titles, but i am happy that i was able to get it. I cant wait to open it up!”. So people were buying the games that launched. Many were also pre-ordering some of the other titles that are set to be released later this year. So what we want to know is did any of you go out and get a 3DS on day one?

Nintendo 3DS Hands On
Mar 20th
Well we are now less than a week away from the release of the Nintendo 3DS. We got a hands on with it earlier this evening at our local Game-Stop. There were 4 units and they were chained to the tables. It has been kept under lock and key, and know we finally got our hands on it.
First Thoughts
The unit comes in to colors, blue and black. It is a little bit bigger than other DS models. The unit is also a little heavier than the other ones. It can become 3D at any time while using the device. There is a simple tab on the side, to determine how much 3D you would like. It is pretty easy to use, same controls that are found on the models. Overall it is a pretty nice unit.
3D Quality
While 3D can never be perfect, the 3D on the DS is not the best we have seen. While it does make it look a little 3D, we are pretty disappointed with the 3D on the unit. In some games it is better than other. One pretty cool feature is that you can take 3D photos, however when you view them they may not look that great. And on a computer if you don’t have a 3D screen you cant view it very well. Overall the 3D is not the best, but does what it needs to do.
Camera App
The camera app is very basic, almost no changes except for the fact of being able to shoot in 3D. The zoom is pretty good, but there are not really other effects you can add to the camera lens. Overall the camera will be nice to use for simple photos.
Bottom Line
The bottom line for the unit, is that if you want some-what ok 3D gaming it will be good. If you want the latest new technolgoy in hand held gaming from Nintendo then you should get the 3Ds. Netflix is not comign til
