The Resume

    (2011- )
    Born in United States
    Released in Japan (February 26, 2011)
    Released in North America (March 27, 2011)
    Games include 'Super Mario 3D Land,' 'Nintendogs+Cats,' 'Mario Kart 7,' 'Kid Icarus: Uprising,' 'The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D' and 'Pilotwings Resort'

Why Nintendo 3DS might be annoying:

    Due to its high price ($249), poor launch lineup, and lack of key features, the system sold poorly early in its lifespan.
    The 3D feature has given some younger gamers headaches.
    Like its predecessor, the system has been plagued with halfassed ports.
    It has been compared to Nintendo's failed Virtual Boy.
    Viewing videos of the games online is difficult, since you cannot see them in 3D.

Why Nintendo 3DS might not be annoying:

    It utilizes full 3D without the need for glasses.
    It brought back Nintendo's cult favorite 'Kid Icarus' franchise.
    Like the Nintendo Wii, it features the 'Virtual Console' where you can download classic Game Boy and NES games.
    It has a slider that you can use to control the intensity of the 3D (or turn it off altogether).
    Nintendo quickly dropped the price due to poor sales, and let anyone who purchased the system at $249 download 20 free games.
