Nintendo 3DS – 3D that works! and is fun!

I keep saying the same thing about this Nintendo 3DS – It really blew me away.

My thoughts on 3D are pretty well documented, I don’t think it has a long future in TV – for Movies and Gaming, the 3D ‘option’ on TV’s will get some use, but there is an overlooked majority who simply can’t hack it – it gives them a headache.  Add to that the overpriced 3D glasses from each different TV manufacturer which are not interoperable with each other and we’ve got a real problem with the future of 3D.

So, when I’m presented with a device that is ‘glassless 3D’ – that is, it does NOT require a set of glasses – I’m sceptical right away.  But the Nintendo 3DS is the hottest gadget this side of the iPad in 2011.
