3DS Impressions

[Alpha Six]

to be honest, the whole thing is just a huge gimmick, one thats either going to wear really fast or that its going to get outperformed by any handheld launched after it. its more hype than anything.

Every console has a "gimmick." That's obviously not all the console is, though, especially not this one. You can argue that they're jumping on the next-gen bandwagon late, but you can't argue that not only do the games look great, but they're ALSO portable. NGP is the only competitor so far for the next-gen graphics in portable format, and that's not releasing until at least next year.

If there were one reason to get a 3DS, it wouldn't be for the 3D-- it would be for the fact that it's actually next-gen.
