Our take on the Nintendo 3DS
The Nintendo 3DS is a dual-screen handheld console with a glasses-free 3D top screen, a 3.53-inch 800x240 display, and a 3.02-inch 320x240 touchscreen below. It has a Circle Pad analog stick, a D-pad, four face buttons, and plays the 3DS and original DS cartridge libraries. It suits players who want a pocketable system with a deep back catalog and StreetPass and SpotPass connectivity. Against the larger 3DS XL it is more compact but has a shorter battery life and smaller screens, and the 2DS drops the 3D effect entirely.
- Glasses-free 3D top screen that can be dialed down with the 3D slider
- Backward compatible with the full Nintendo DS cartridge library
- Circle Pad analog control plus D-pad and touchscreen input
- StreetPass and SpotPass connect with nearby players and download content
