3DS Video Review Extravaganza!

March 25, 2011   Games, Reviews, Videos

As many of you will know I have been anticipating the 3DS launch for a few months. The fact that we Europeans get it a whole two days before you unlucky Americans meant we at GeeksFTW have taken the opportunity to have a somewhat casual video review of it before the American release. I will be covering the 3DS a lot this weekend so that any of you who are still on the fence about it can get some more info.

Please enjoy the video (Sorry about my cold) and let me know if there is anything else you’d like me to cover about the 3DS.

Side Note: Despite what I say in the video about the 3D being “gimmicky” it is actually very good. I’ve had more time with it since then and it really does add to the game. At least in Street Fighter anyway.
