I love it! I have been playing with it almost every day since I received it.

The upper screen is about the size of the screen of the PS Vita, a bit smaller than the screen of the iPhone 6-7-8 Plus. That makes it a very comfortable screen to play games that can be text heavy.



I can actually play my games using the 3D now! There is a tracker so the screen adjusts itself when you move your head. That’s not the most perfect thing, but compared to my original 3DS model, it’s night and day. Mario Kart 7 is one of those games where it’a fun to play with the 3D on.



I am using a plastic protector to give it a better grip and to protect it. I can play with it just fine without, but depending on the game it can lead to cramps.

It is heavier than the 2DS. The stylus is also bigger and it’s comfortable to use.



I wished the cartridge placement was still on the back. It’s not really a problem, though I once pressed it accidentally and my game was ejected mi-play.



While the Nintendo Switch is ever growing in popularity, the 3DS is still worth getting in 2019. It has a gigantic library of 3DS games to choose from, and it is backward compatible with the previous DS games.
