Simply put the technology is impressive. Controlling a fully 3D version of Link as he appears from a card you put on the table is amazing. Annoyingly though not everyone can appreciate the 3D effects. After adjusting the slider for a while I was able to get the full effect but every time I moved my head things got a bit blurry. Not ideal in a portable console.
The battery life isn't great either. They found themselves having to recharge every 2 hours at least. Not ideal if you want something to entertain you over a long journey.
Couple that with a somewhat lacklustre range of launch titles, featuring primarily remakes or sequels of existing games and the £200 price tag becomes a bit questionable. I already own Street Fighter 4 on my 360 so what's the point of getting it again? Is 3D worth it?
I will be getting a 3DS someday. Perhaps when Nintendo do the inevitable 3DS lite but definitely not before the price drops to something a little more reasonable.
