Review: 3DS

I just don't get it. I can see the 3D (stuff appearing to extend through the 3DS's backside and stuff popping out), but it doesn't make anything easier to visualize. In most instances it just becomes harder to play the games (I have Pilotwings and Ridge Racer). I generally went with low 3D intensity, because it was less troubling to see it correctly and therefore it was less likely to cause dizziness. But what the hell is the point? Now it's even easier to hit a spiky ball floating in the sky!

I guess the 3D is messing with my depth perception, because I find it harder to judge distances with it being turned on. I fail to see the point of 3D. It makes me play worse, it lowers the brightness level of the screen, it consumes more energy and it doesn't make games look significantly cooler.

Quick summary:

 

• Miis: meh.
• AR games: Moving the 3DS around with the 3D being activated? Headache. Without the 3D? Boring.
• Face Raiders: Same as above.
• Photos: Why should I bother?
• Sound Maker: Why in the world...?
• Pressing the power button to shut the system down only to be prompted to decide between standby and shutting down? Who came up with this crap? If I wanted standby, I would close the system. Power off should mean power off and nothing else.

My score: 9.5/10.

Lol.  I love how your post seems unforgivingly critical but then you give it a score of 9.5/10.

Oh, Rol!
