Here from the future: this was a great console. Sad to see it go :(

I have a 3DS and when he said it's awkward to fit in your pocket I was like, "I put it in my pocket easily EVERY TIME", so I disagree with what he said ;)

[foxinedingdong]

Still have mine after almost six years :")

IGN gives biased reviews on stuff to get money. if a company doesn't give IGN enough money, IGN will give a bad review.

HE DOCKED POINTS BECAUSE IT COULDN'T FIT IN HIS SKINNY JEANS

[AmyRoseWasHere]

Still one of the nicest looking base systems I've ever seen

[josephthegamer]

Now it is my favorite handheld of ALL TIME

[javoid]

I think ill be going with a 3DS over a 2DS.

It costs a bit extra, but I perfur to beable to protect my screen without buying a case for it.

lol now the 3DS is easily a 10/10. A console is only as good as it's games and the 3DS library is MASSIVE, quality, and varied. Plus all the DS games since it's backwards compatible, different models to choose from including the dirt cheap 2DS.... it's great

im afraid of buying all these amazing nintendo consols. but they make new ones so fast that you cant realy settle down with the product you own.

Ive had my 3DS for 5 months now. It never fails to amaze me every time I turn it on.

[PMar]

Hmmm, funny. I wear skinny jeans myself, but had no problem keeping my 3DS in my pockets while I was travelling around for a month.

[cehnd]

I still have the old one and just bought Pokémon oras, even after 9 years it works perfectly fine. It's unbelievable.

[GameLeaderMX]

you know, the score does not care! 3DS is the best handheld console... specs are just specs, games are what matter.

[li-ham]

And it's sold 35 million units. And the ps vita has sold 3 million units. Lol

[Nikkerman]

Its so weard how people said it was a falure and now its on par to be the best selling portable of all time

[striker_kbd]

i came here to comfort myself because i lost my 3DS ;(

[katakisLives]

The 3D effect is incredible! I saw Street fighter at "Game" and its a real game changer! there is bound to be a 3DS lite at some point in the very near future! Its funny thinking of this device as bulky remembering what it was like to lug around the original Gameboy

[guffman]

**when you get a new 3DS 6 years after the original**

[lisen]

I Will get one tomorrow, since it Will be christmas and i wished to get the Nintendo 3ds and Mario games Only. :)
