Customer Ratings & Reviews

Haven't owned a portable game system since the original Gameboy, and I thought it was a little silly to buy one these days when there are so many games on the phone. Turns out this thing's nice, doesn't need to be connected to the internet all the time and Nintendo makes a lot of classic titles with classic franchises that are all fantastic games. Definitely worth it if you want to catch up on your Pokemon, Zelda, Mario or other games you'll never play on your phone. I've never used another DS or 3DS but this one has a good size and good battery life. While the screen isn't as big as my phone, it's still quite good for playing games. The 3D effect I haven't seen used to any good effect yet so it's a little irrelevant, but I think I prefer this to the larger non-foldable 2DS for portability.

Replaced my 3DS XL and don't even miss the size! It loads games so much faster and starts up/shuts down even faster. I got the white one over the black, lucky enough to pick either. I'm very pleased with this purchase.

I wanted a New 3DS but the XL screen was too big and made the picture look bad. This smaller screen was perfect for my new games and was half the price of the XL. If you can find this item ID highly recommend it.

My wonderful boyfriend got this for me during Black Friday. It was amazing he was even able to get one. The design is super cute and feels great in the hands. The price is awesome too.

I haven't owned a handheld console since the gameboy color (yes I'm old school) and thought I'd get something to entertain me during my work lunch breaks. I was originally looking into an older GBA until I stumbled across this special edition 3DS. I wasn't sure about it at first, since I've never used one but I thought it was just $100 (awesome deal) and if I didn't like I could always return it. Got it in the mail, took it out of the packaging and loved it. Great size all around, nice Mario theme cover, and tons of fun to play with. Lots to do and plenty to download. Haven't tested out playing online and connecting with a WiiU, but will get there eventually. Would highly recommend!

Buying this for $100 is a steal. I will say that the screen is a bit more dim than the older versions of the New 3DS but totally worth the $100 price drop. Great for anyone who loves Nintendo!

I reallly like the size of this console, everything looks like it's supposed to and games aren't stretched out like they would on an XL. The only con is that it doesn't come with a charger.

At $99 this was a no brainer. The 3d in the new 3ds is definitely an upgrade over the previous generation. Also the library of games is mature and can keep you busy for years to come

Super Mario 3DS is awesome! I get the black color, its classic and old school. The 3D is so real, but just for one person who play the game, also it can take 3D photo which is cool.

This is the smaller version of the new 3ds (previously only available in the large XL version here in the states). It is fully compatible with all games for the 3ds and is a little more portable due to its smaller size. The outer shell can actually be replaced and a new design can be applied by just unscrewing few screws and unsnapping the original one. Love the fact that I can change the design without having to get a new console like the XL version, this along with the fact that it actually fits better in my pockets makes me prefer it to the XL version as there are really no differences software compatibility wise

My last game console was the gameboy sp. It has been a while since I played with game consoles. But I wanted to play the new pokemon so I bought the 3ds. Please not that this is not the XL (even if the front page of the manual says 3ds xl). otherwise its good. My friend has an old 3ds xl. don't see much difference.

Great handheld console. I prefer this over the XL as it is more portable. There is also a great library of games. Would have been great if it had an IPS screen.

I got this item during their black friday sale (which happened on a thursday, so really black thursday). I owned the 3DS XL before this and the size was a downgrade BUT it really isnt an issue for me. The original 3ds is smaller than this product so its still an upgrade. Its good for younger kids because of the size but also great for the older crowd because it can fit anywhere and barely takes up space in a jacket pocket or purse. !! My friend's console was damaged when he first got it and if you have any issues, go to nintendo support to get a repair order started, depending on what the issue is, they will fix it for free !!

$99 for a 3DS! Can't go wrong. Perfect Christmas gift or gift in general. Especially when paired with Pokémon Sun or Moon. My only regret was not getting one for myself.

This smaller and customizable 3DS is a great option for those who may have small children or maybe those who don't prefer the larger equivalent. The cover plates makes it fun to have each 3DS unique to a person's liking. The hardware itself is great, its reported to be much faster then the original 3DS and given the ability to play an additional select few games that require that little extra push. The 3DS's library in my opinion is a great one. I have a Vita (love it), but prefer the variety that comes with the 3DS lineup, and I'm sure any person or child will find something that they will enjoy.

Managed to nab one on Black friday. Totally worth $100. Interchangeable plates. Nice portable design. What is not to love of Nintendo's only money making machine.

Bought this device on thanksgiving day. It's a great product and the screen size is decent enough for 3D gaming. For $100 I found it well worth it.

Everything is great, but charger is not included... But i still give 5 star rating because the appearance is really nice, and the price is cheap!

Bought this in Black Friday for half the regular price. My son hasn't opened it yet because it is a Christmas gift but I'm sure he will love it. I like the super Mario detail. Only downside is that it doesn't come with a charger. Had to purchase one separately for 10$z

Definitely one of the best deals during black friday. Got A black one for me and a white one for my wife. for 99$, it's definitely worth getting.
