Yesterday was my birthday and I got a piece of gaming goodness, a Nintendo 3DS! I had debated buying one for myself but decided to wait and boy am I glad I did, its nice to get one for free! I got the aqua blue model, its a very handsome device. My initial thoughts are the 3D will be turned off the majority of the time but switching it off and then back on a few minutes later makes a great impression, its super cool to see the 3D effect in action. I have read that others thought the 3D slider should be adjusted to the lowest setting and I agree. The included software is really cool, for example I think Face Raiders is a very entertaining game. Taking your picture and watching the software make faces with your face is lots of fun. Augmented reality is definitely a cool part of the 3DS experience and I am enjoying it.
I bought Pilot Wings Resort and I love the game. I enjoyed flying the plane around Wuhu Island in Wii Sports Resort title and this is basically the same thing except you get to use a hang glider and a jetpack as well. I plan on getting the 3D remake of The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time the day it comes out. Ocarina of Time is one of my all time favorite games. I can tell this system is going to be something special.
