Nintendo 3DS

Namaste my fellow friends and knowledge seekers and welcome back!!
Today we are going to discuss the newest hand held gaming device from Nintendo, the 3DS. Now granted this product has been out on the market since April and undergone a price cut and color change as well... bear in mind that this is NOT a paid advertisement and I am most definitely not a spokesperson.

That being the case I AM a big fan of this handheld gaming system. Mine was bought as a present for my birthday and I must say that it's like having a hand held Wii. I totally dig the Mii creator as well as the AR games, 3D camera, street pass, a plethora of game titles that grows by the week, and the advent of the 3DS Ambassador program. The Ambassador program allows us owners to download FREE games through the Nintendo e-shop available through the wi-fi connection (which can also be used to play multiplayer games from past console systems as well as current cartridge games with your friends)!

So the truth is that I'm most likely a geek coming online and tauting this video game system. I am old enough to remember the Atari and the original Nintendo from when they first came out... damn...
The point here is that it is AMAZING to be able to play the original console games like Super Mario Bros. and Legend of Zelda. This is alongside re-releases from the Nintendo 64 to the hand held system such as Star Fox 64 3D and The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time... debatable on being one of if not Nintendo's BEST GAME EVER!! 
Then there are current games such as Lego Star Wars 3: the Clone Wars, Lego Pirates of the Caribbean, Tetris, Super Street Fighter 4, Fifa Soccer, Madden Football, Pac Man Galaga Dimensions, and Resident Evil Mercenaries, et al. The list continues to grow with upcoming releases like Super Mario 3D, Kid Icarus, Luigi's Mansion 2, Paper Mario, Mario Kart, Pokemon Rumble Blast, the interactive "Skylanders: Spyro's Adventure", and Animal Crossing.
This system is fully compatible with your current Nintendo DS games and with the Ambassador program there will be 10 more FREE downloadable games before the end of the year... That'll make for one hell of a Merry X-mas!!
Now let's talk about Nintendo's e-shop online. As I said before with the wi-fi connection many  many more games are downloadable directly to your 3DS in a matter of minutes for your gaming pleasure. Many of these game titles are exclusive downloadable content saved to the inboard SD card, not available in cartridge format.


Verdict is in... if you haven't bought one yet, this holiday season is the time to buy with a new marked down price of $169 and a new fire engine red color option (besides the tealish green standard option)... this is gonna be a hot tamale jumping off the shelf!! Like having a Wii in your hand this is the next generation hand held system that is not going to be leaving the market for a while. I give it 2 thumbs WAY WAY up!! And I didn't even mention the functional pedometer that keeps track of your walking progress and gives you points towards unlockable bonus features!! AND... you can watch NETFLIX!!
"Well damn, Mouse... what can't this thing do"
Not too much my friends. Internet, Netflix, street pass, and a whole slew of cartridge and downloadable games... your money and time are safe with this baby!!
This has been the Quiet Mouse. Open your minds and experience the pinacle of gaming in your hands. Play together. Laugh together. Love together.
