Verdict
We challenge you to play with the 3DS for an hour and not fall in love with 3D gaming.
Uppers
Glasses-free 3D gaming is here
Real visual depth with some 'jump out' moments
Visuals beyond any other Ninty handheld, regardless of 3D
Finding the sweet spot isn't difficult
Augmented Reality shows massive potential
A bulging, affordable package
Downers
Battery life could be problematic
3D image quality varies when 3DS is even slightly moved
Photos are 2D layers on a 3D plain
