3DS review update

After observing certain functionalities and using the 3DS console for an additional day, i will continue my review.

This system is great, but before you go to the store to buy it, i suggest you either try it out at the nintendo shop, or at a friend's house.  Even at the new, lower price, the 3DS is a substantial investment for what it is.

 All in all, the 3DS is great, but if you are undecided, you may as well wait for the second version ( it is expected to come out around the christmas holidays).

There are some other important problems that i will explain.

First of all, I want to note that the gameplay, when on 3D, can get uncomfortable. This is because you need to have your eyes centered at the middle of the screen when playing with that effect. Games where you need to move and be active, especially do not work well with 3D. Luckily, you can turn off the 3D simply by pulling down the bar at the bottom right of the screen.

Another problem is that the graphics don't look so pure after you turn off the 3D effect. If you want to enjoy the console without 3D, it can alter gameplay effect and lower enjoyment of the game itself.

I'm going to make another problem clear. The 3DS DOES look beautiful, but it smudges so easily, that even when you use the stylus(pen), the screen can be dirtied. To prevent excess smudging, you should touch the screen lightly with the stylus and never touch either of the two screens with your fingers. Washing your hands helps too.

The 3DS is very delicate, so be sure to treat it gently.
