Nintendo 3DS intial impressions. Pricing & availability - http://amzn.to/Sjcq0f

With no real interesting launch titles in the US and a short battery life, as well as a few other negatives, there's no sense of urgency in buying a Nintendo 3DS yet for any but the most dedicated gamers. This is a revolutionary device only in the fact that Nintendo is the first to come out with a 3D hand-held game system that does not require glasses. It's actually pretty cool and while I don't like 3D movies, the 3D on the Nintendo 3DS is fun and seems to work pretty well!

There are some flaws with the technology though, which I'm sure will only get better in future versions. The first is that with the 3D on, if you view the screen away from the sweet spot angle and go off axis, it looks blurry. This is easy to do if you are playing a racing game for example and move the unit around a bit. 

You can get a headache and/or eyestrain if you use the 3D for too long although it's easy to turn it off or down on the fly via a switch.

The battery life is not good. It only lasts about 3-5 hours. For a heavy gamer, it may not last throughout your day of game playing. Nintendo includes a charging cradle and it is recommended that you return the unit to be charge any time you are not using it. 

Lastly, the release price seems about $50. too high to me and I expect that the price will actually come down given a bit of time. If you read this description, be sure to let me  know in a comment!
