Though it looks like a toy, don't be fooled: the Nintendo GameCube is a powerful video game console that rightly deserves its place among the other next-generation game systems. In fact, its playful, appealing design and small size (the unit is a not-quite-cubed 6 inches) aren't the only features that set it apart from the others. For starters, Nintendo has quite clearly made this a game-only machine. It doesn't try to play your CD collection, run your movies, read your e-mail, or store your MP3 files. The company has concentrated its efforts on games. All the prelaunch titles we've seen play smoothly, with bright, fast graphics and great sound. Nintendo says its engineers have removed traditional bottlenecks that have, in the past, slowed down processing. New components designed by IBM and MoSys, as well as a large-capacity secondary memory cache, keep instructions moving through the system's microprocessor (MPU) at peak levels. Less
Nintendo 3DS includes two screens. The bottom touch screen makes use of a telescoping stylus that is stored in the unit itself. The top screen displays 3D visuals to the naked eye.

Pros Excellent Gameplay, Fun, Good Value
Cons nothing
Recommended it? Yes

Game cube is fun and addicting. The graphics aren't as great as on the newer game systems, and the new trendy games like rock band aren't offered for game cube, but it is fun for playing more classic video games, and kid friendly. Read full review »

When we first got this, when this was the "new" system out there, it was awesome and very advanced.  Now there have been another 2-3 systems since then, so naturally it pales in comparison.  However, there are still tons of great games out there for it and it is very fun! Read full review »

Cons *Poor battery life.<br>*3D isn't really 3D.
Recommended it? Yes

I love the Nintendo 3DS! The graphics are smooth and it does so much more than video games--it can browse the internet, watch videos on Netflix, play and edit music, take photos and videos, and dozens of other things! It also comes with a 2GB SD card to save and load things on. It has an inner and... Read full review »
