Nintendo 3DS

Last October, I bought a Nintendo 3DS. When the device came out last year, I thought it was a bit expensive (they’ve dropped the price since then) and wasn’t sure they would have many games I wanted to play. I bought it anyway because I have a thing for gadgets and video games (if you haven’t noticed). I thought that I may buy it, play it a few times and then let it sit on the shelve and ignore it. So far, that hasn’t happened. 

I am really happy with the Nintendo 3DS. I own The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D, Super Mario 3D Land, and Pokemon Black (a DS game, not 3DS game). So far, I’ve finished the Zelda game and about half of the Mario game. The games so far are excellent. There are a number of games coming out this year that I can’t wait to try out. 

The kids have also been happy playing the Nintendo 3DS. I have the parental controls setup so that they cannot play in 3D (because it’s bad for their eyes). I spend most of my time not playing in 3D either (it gives me a headache). 

I wonder how the Nintendo 3DS will compare to the Sony Playstation Vita that comes out next month.
