3DYES

So I've been on the fence about Nintendo's 3DS for a while now. I have a love/hate relationship with Nintendo where i love the DS but hate the Wii, so a new DS piqued my interest almost immediately. It's specs seemed impressive enough, features seemed to be heading in the right direction (although no 3G is a bummer), and Nintendo seemed to be learning from their past failures (friends codes are apparently not entirely gone, but also not spectacularly awful). The big unknown was the 3D. Is it a gimmick? Does it work?

These are all the questions I've been asking myself and I still couldn't make up my mind until I saw a video of the system in action running Super Street Fighter IV and I was almost sold. It's the real-deal-holyfield version of SSF4, on a handheld with online play. Almost there.

Then, I saw Nintendo's AR cards. I can't really describe how amazing it looks. SOLD. Just YouTube it. The archery game alone is enough.

Got mine preordered and ready to go, and I haven't seen the 3D yet.

Apparently Best Buy has their demo units in already to check out, and Gamestop should be getting theirs any day now. I suggest you check it out.
