Best Buy got me. I thought they would be all out of them. But they weren’t. I stopped into my local Best Buy a day after Black Friday just to not be in that giant throng of humanity to see what sort of scraps had been left over. I did not think that either the Mario or the Zelda box set 3DS systems would still be in stock, but they had two Zeldas and one Mario left! This meant that I would be spending money. The problem was which one to pick up, but in the end, the choice was easy. Although I do want both games eventually, I do not want to be walking around with a red 3DS… EVER! Therefore, since I wanted to play the Ocarina of Time and get a 3DS, my choice was made for me. Plus, it’s a cool limited edition version of the 3DS and has the Zelda markings and is black and gold. Check it out below! (and yes, it actually comes with a 300 page manual on using the thing!)
First impressions are good. The design is a bit bigger than my DS Lite, but not so big as to be unwieldy or non-portable. It is a bit thicker, which I attribute to it having three cameras (one being a dual-lens 3D camera), a gyroscope and stereoscopic 3D. I have yet to fully test the battery life, but I’m guessing it’s nothing spectacular. As far as functionality goes, I love it. Connecting to the Internet is a breeze and downloading games and apps is really intuitive and easy. Plus, my Mii rocks.
