In this article, I will review the Nintendo 3DS system, the newest product from Nintendo. I will specifically discuss its top 4 features, namely innovative 3D gaming, Street Pass, Spot Pass, and backwards compatibility.
By the end of this article, you should be able to understand all the new features this new toy has to offer, as well as how to get it online.
Let’s start with the first feature: innovative 3D games. Usually, when you want to watch a 3D movie, you need to wear a special glasses; otherwise, you will not be able to see the image clearly. Nintendo has made a new technology that allows users to view 3D without the need to wear glasses. Most experts say they use a combination of hologram technology with pixel rendering. However, this effect is hard to explain until you see and experience it for yourself.
The second feature is Street Pass. Street Pass is Nintendo’s unique feature that will allow players to communicate with each other on the street. They do this through the wireless mechanism that is built into the machine. Users will receive a notification whenever someone with a Nintendo 3DS passes by and they can play with each other. All high scores, user profile and people you meet are stored on the included 2 GB memory card.
The next feature on offer is Spot Pass. The Spot Pass feature allows you to find a nearby wireless access point so you can connect to the Internet. This will allow you to find other players nearby, as well as browse the Internet and download new games or music from the online store. You can even share pictures and edit music with the included built-in software.
Last but not least, you don’t have to throw away your old Nintendo DS or DSi games because they are all backwards compatible with Nintendo 3DS. However, you can only play them in 2D mode, not 3D mode. Please note that the Nintendo 3DS game cannot be played on the older model.
At the time of writing, the Nintendo 3DS has just been released and most big box retailers like Target or Walmart are out of stock.
I would recommend that you look at online stores if you plan on trying one out.
You can do a Google search to do a price comparison and choose the best price. This will save you time and energy because you don’t have to beat the crowd at the retail store.
