Nintendo 3DS Hands On In Tokyo

On March 25th Nintendo will release it's new handheld gaming console, the next generation DS, now in 3D. So is it as good as they want us to believe? Should we trade in our older boring two-dimensional DS's and upgrade to 3D goodness?

In January I was walking around Akihabara's biggest digital tech store and I bumped into the 3DS show stand. Literally bumped into, I was looking the other way at a shiny red Wii (I sold my Wii to help buy a one way plane ticket, worth it but I still miss it...) and I walked into the back of the display. That was how much Nintendo needed to advertise their new console in Japan, everyone knows about it. Walking around the other side I saw there wasn't much of a queue. Ah. Lunchtime. Everyone has lunch at the same time here. So I decided to join the mini-queue and have a little play.
