I always was a loyal Nintendo customer. I wanted to get 3DS when it was released but the price was too high so I had to wait. Now that it got cheaper I decided to try it. The build quality is ok but this thing is not ergonomic. My hands are not big but even I struggle to hold it for longer then 2 hours max. 3D screen is useless, it hurts eyes if you look for more then 15 mins. Backwards compatibility with DS games is not good either. If you have many games from previous system prepare to be disappointed. Only good thing was the AR software but it gets old pretty fast. Overall I was really expecting something else. Its a shame that such a good company produced this terrible device, it feels like its a beta version, they are experimenting and customers have to pay for their R/D
