To read the original entry, please click here ( http:\/\/darlosworld.co.uk\/2014\/11\/29\/my-new-nintendo-3ds-is-simply-smashing )<\/a><\/p>\n Many of them I guess were a bit too young to remember what the original DS was like. It was big, it was bulky, it was like a tank, it was built to last. In fact it still works perfectly fine and this is what I use to whoop people at Mario Kart DS.<\/p>\n So when the 3DS came out in 2011, I pretty much scoffed at it and wrote it off as a DS with a fake 3D function. To me 3D has always been, and will always be, where things fly out of the screen. I don’t buy the “oh you can see it’s depth as if you’re really there” argument for many modern 3D products, since when I watch a video I have a pretty good idea of depth … since it’s a video! Anyway, this rant is for a differrent day.<\/p>\n Passing a demo unit in game shops I’d have a go but could never get the 3D part to work anyway, in a large part due to my lazy left eye … so lazy. Gameplay-wise it was the same as playing a DS, and since all the games many people liked were on, or were still coming out for, the DS anyway I pretty much considered the 3DS to be going the way of the Virtual Boy<\/a>.<\/p>\n Of course it built up a nice little line up of games and seemed to be staying strong. So strong in fact that here in Japan a new version<\/a> of the console has recently come out. The impressively named “New Nintendo 3DS” at first glance seems exactly the same as the not so-new Nintendo 3DS, only with an extra stick. Since I really don’t know much about it, have a gander at Nihongo Gamer<\/a>‘s video which can explain much more than I can.<\/p>\n![\"My](\"http:\/\/i56.photobucket.com\/albums\/g179\/mr_darlington\/original-big-fat-nintendo-ds-tank.jpg\")
