Played with one today in the store.
Kinda disappointing.
Here's why:
I cannot see how this is worth the huge pricetag, if you don't have a ton of cash to throw away, wait until they introduce a second generation with larger screens and a better battery life, or wait until there is a seriously mindblowing game for it, which definitely isn't release day.
Anyone else played with one yet?
Kinda disappointing.
Here's why:
- Tiny baby screens (compared to my DSi XL anyhow).
- The introduction of the buttons at the bottom and the reduction in size(again from the XL) makes it ugly as a mouldy peach, just like the original DS.
- They say a foot of 'wiggle room' more like 5cm. I couldn't find that sweetspot where it was nice and just right.
- Wikipedia reports the battery life at 3-5 hours or <8 hours when using the old DS mode so that's pretty useless for any kind of long journey.
