Should I Buy a Nintendo 3DS?

 There comes a time in every person's life when they must ask themselves: should I buy a Nintendo 3DS? Should I become one of the (eventual) tens of millions of gamers who temporarily lose themselves in carefully crafted worlds with full stereoscopic 3D effects and wonderfully imaginative environments? I'd like to help answer that question for you. The first question to ask yourself is quite simple: what are you expecting out of the Nintendo 3DS? It is a handheld gaming device after all - you're not going to have the feature-set of an iPhone, or the raw power of an Xbox 360, and making a purchase with unrealistic expectations will only leave you heartbroken (or at least with a bit of buyer's remorse). To set reasonable expectations, you might find it interesting that the Nintendo 3DS is the first handheld gaming device that is: Built from the ground-up to support stereoscopic 3D content in the style of Avatar and How to Train Your Dragon. Manufactured to include motion controls, stereoscopic 3D and a touch screen - three features that can be combined to create quite interesting gaming experiences. Able to play remakes of classic games like Ocarina of Time and Starfox 64 3DS. Sounds pretty great, eh? But I don't want this to be a puff piece. I don't want you to buy a Nintendo 3DS thinking it's perfect. As with all products, there are some people who it may not be suited for. Time for a little more self-reflection: does 3D gaming actually sound fun to you? Were you enthralled by Avatar or blown away by How to Train Your Dragon. Just because 3D is added to a game doesn't mean all of its shortcomings are eliminated. There's a chance you may get headaches or eyestrain or maybe you simply don't care enough about 3D to justify the price of the Nintendo 3DS. Then there's the games. Nintendo consoles are well-known for having lots of games, but most of them end up being shovel-ware titles from developers trying to cash-in on gullibility. This means the vast majority of triple-A titles will be from Nintendo themselves. Are you okay with this?
