Nintendo 3DS Midnight Purple

More than 458 reviews
The Nintendo 3DS provides an impressive 3D gaming experience without the need for special glasses.
There’s a 3D effect slider, it shoots and displays 3D photographs with its dual back-facing cameras, and it has a single front-facing camera.
The 3DS comes preinstalled with a bevy of software and StreetPass and SpotPass services, and it comes with a drop-and-charge dock.
Internet connectivity includes the eShop, Virtual Console, video marketplace, Internet browsing functionality, DSiWare transferring, and Netflix support.
Two years after its launch, the 3DS has matured into a great portable gaming system with a steadily increasingly library of worthy titles.
The Nintendo DS and the many iterations that followed have combined to sell approximately 145 million units worldwide since the original debuted in 2004.
The Nintendo 3DS resembles the DS Lite in almost every way, save for a few details.
It measures 0.83 inch high by 5.3 inches wide by 2.9 inches deep, and weighs about 8.28 ounces, which is nearly identical to the DS Lite’s specs.
Even the lower screens appear the same size, with both coming in at about 3 inches. The 3DS’ top screen is wider than the DS Lite’s and sports a 3.53-inch diagonal display with a resolution of 800×240 pixels (where 400 pixels are allocated to each eye for the 3D effect).
