A long while ago I bought a 3DS off a friend of mine, but until my latest plane journey to Japan I hadn't touched the damn thing.
All I've really played on it is Castlevania: Order of Ecclesia for the DS, but I've had a little experience trying out the whole 3D thing with stuff like Mario and Zelda and to be honest I don't see the fuss. The system has some good games now, at least, but I think I'll be keeping that 3D slider off as much as I can.
Anyway my biggest complaint with this system is the entire left hand side of the fucking thing. Maybe it's just me, but I find moving a character around the screen on the 3DS to be really awkward. The stick just feels strange and I hate using it and the D-Pad is just in this weird position that doesn't feel comfortable to use either.
Also I can't really fully explain why but the buttons on the right hand side feel a bit crappy too. In fact that's the best way to sum up the whole thing. The 3DS just sucks to handle and even when your playing a good game it's just not fun because the hardware is so much shit to use.
Still, maybe the later models don't have this problem, I'm only talking about the original 3DS model here. Since the things are fucking region locked I'm going to buy myself a shiny new updated 3DS sometime in the future. Maybe that won't be such a massive piece of shit to handle.
