Nintendo 3DS Review and Game Impressions - Page 7  Overall its
hard not to be impressed with the Nintendo 3DS.  The 3D effects
are striking and add to the immersion, the sound quality is top

life is unacceptable and Nintendo's "solution" of including a
quick cradle to dock your system in isn't much of a solution at

it just seems like Nintendo wasn't ready for launch - while
there are several decent launch titles, overall the line-up is
fairly lackluster.  We're disappointed with the complete lack of
any co-op titles at launch.  This is a portable system that's
