One of the only things I am bummed down about is the 3DS’s battery life, I mean, 4-5 hours??? Are you kiddin’ me Nintendo??!
Cheers Henchmens!
I just saw it in the stores and played with it.
It took me 20 minutes to come to the conclusion of: This thing is very cool.
At first my eye’s got a little teary, not from joy, but from the 3D effect. Wasn’t really sure what to think of it then. After 10 minutes I was like, ok ok hhmm. Then I went out of the store, got back then minutes later to chek it out again. My eye’s didn’t tear this time to my surprise, For my eye’s sliding the 3D slider up to half was enough for me to get the maximum effect. I looked at it very clos-Up and far away sideway’s chekking out when the 3D effect faded a little. Y know, mess with it. And then After then minutes (total of 20 min).
I came to the conclusion: This device, while the 3D may not be perfect (what 3D effect is actually perfect?) It actually works very well, and It is a pretty cool device.
Just got home from work and there was my 3DS sitting on my door mat! :) got Lego Star Wars 3 and Ghost recon with it. Gonna have a play now!
