Before the 3DS was launched, there was massive hype for the first console that has 3D that doesnt require glasses. Being a tech geek, i had to get one for myself!

The first thing that struck me was hearing all of the news about people feeling sick with the 3D. Firstly, the console has a 3D slider to adjust the settings to suit you, as everyone will perceive the 3D differently.

Secondly, when you start the 3DS for the first time, it takes you through detailed advice about using a 3D console. For example, it tells you how long you should play with 3D before taking a break, how to hold and look at the screen and so on.

I think the 3D is just a novelty feature for yet another DS. The consoles are simply becoming less popular due to the smartphone craze happening in the world right now.

There are some parts of the 3DS i do like, such as the 3D camera (although the picture quality is terrible) and augmented reality, which you can play quite fun games with.

The games themselves strike me as pretty standard DS games and nothing really special. I was hoping for a wow factor with the 3DS, but the novelty of 3D without glasses just isnt going to make this console good enough to last.
