Nintendo 3DS: Everything You Need To Know

Nintendo 3DS came out two days ago, and numerous websites (including this one) have posted negative articles concerning headaches, the price and lackluster sales. It's a ridiculous amount of criticism. You'd think Nintendo 3DS was made by Muammar Gaddafi.

Well, we're lucky enough to own the shiny new portable, and there's plenty to love. After spending hours on games like Nintendogs + Cats and Pilotwings Resort, we've grown very fond of the system, and wanted to highlight a few of the good things that make 3DS a worthwhile investment.

Nintendo First Party Comes Through Yet Again

Everyone talks about "Mario this," and "Zelda that." You know what? Pilotwings Resort is strong enough to make the wait for one of Nintendo's premiere characters bearable. We've spent hours on the game, both in Mission Mode and Free Flight, and it's amazing how much the "one more time" bug hits you. We've racked up lots of flight time with the plane, rocket belt and hang glider, and the innovative vehicles that show up in later levels are clever and fun. The game also has a ton of unlockables, practically daring you to try and put it down before you hit three stars across all modes.
