The 3D still doesn't work, I don't get why there is so much praise, it just spazes out all the time for me as it tries to track my eyes. It doesn't help that the brightness just seems to strobe like mad, the slightest movement and for some reason it feels the need to change it. I ended up turning both of those features off right away, so well done Nintendo for those.
The hinge is just crap, all the ones I've seen have this weird mm or so gap where you can move it side to side. Not only that but it still is really flappy.. why is it so hard to make a hinge Nintendo? It isn't for anyone else but you.
They've made the bumpers too small but added two more, constantly now when playing Mario Kart, I'll let go of things I've holding behind me without realizing. They're just so fiddly and hard to hold down now, the old ones were much bigger and nicer to use.
The placement of the cartridge slot sucks, I love to rest my little finger under both sides of the system. Now however you have this nice flush right side and the left side my little finger feels so uncomfortable. Why couldn't you put it on the top where it doesn't get in the way? Also though I keep ejecting games now because of the way I like to hold the thing.
The C nub is crap, it doesn't work well at all, been trying it in Zelda MM and it just makes me wish they put a circle pad on that side as well. All you had to do was put the start/select and home where they used to be and there would have been another room.
Getting access to the SD card slot is such an effort now, I wont be surprised if people break the thing trying to get in there as well. Another weird design choice that makes no sense what so ever, I don't get the move from SD to Micro SD either, it isn't like Micro SD is faster or the 3DS makes use of fast speeds and it isn't like the system is too small now... it got bigger!
The stylus is also on the bottom where my little fingers are resting and it feels so loose in there. The old 3DS it used to be out of the way and was tight in the slot, now it just feels so cheap and rocks about in there.
The new power button sucks, the original 3DS got it the best....
I think it is a poorly designed system and tbh I'd rather use my old one.
