Is the 3DS worth it?

[Tyeforce]

I can't fathom paying such an outrageous amount when the main feature of the console is something I can't use. That's just how I see it though. I haven't been very keen on handheld gaming lately either. I've had two ds's and I just can't seem to get into playing them at all. None of the games really interest me all that much either.. and I'm just a console person I suppose. But if it floats your boat kudos! Have fun with it, that's what it's there for after all.

That's completely understandable if it's just not your type of system. I know quite a few people like you who don't really care for handhelds and only really play console/PC games.

Though, for the people who the 3DS is for, it's still worth it even if you won't be using 3D much or at all, in my opinion. Personally, I always play with 3D on to the max (except with Pilotwings Resort, I need to turn it down a bit for that). But my boyfriend often plays with the 3D off because it tires his eyes sometimes, and he's been playing it even more than me lately!! XD Our roommate also likes to play with the 3D off a lot, especially with Super Street Fight IV and Dead or Alive: Dimensions for the doubled frame rate. So, 3D or not, the 3DS still has a lot to offer. After all, 3D's not its main feature, it's just one of its main features.

I'm going to be bluntly honest and say that the 3ds is NOT worth it. It's my opinion. I honestly think that the 3D on it is not top notch, nor is it worth what it's being marketed as. What is worth it however, is the nostalgia factor of certain games being remastered for the system, and that's about all I can see being useful on it. This is a biased opinion because 3D in anything, including televisions or movie theaters gives me intense migraines that I can't stand. You're just going to have to try it for yourself and see if it's worth you dropping the money for it.

I'm not being rude, but he's already bought it. So opinions now don't matter.

Just answering the thread question

Although this thread can be useful for others who still didn't buy a 3DS.
