3DS on its Way!!!

Only 8 days left for the long awaited Nintendo 3DS to arrive here in America.  It's something that many are expecting and Nintendo is partying in up too.  Gary and Alison from Nintendo's Nintendo Week got their hands on the Nintendo 3DS this last week and had loads of fun with the out of the box included content including Face-raiders, Augmented Reality games and more.  The 3DS Face-Raiders game allows you to take a photo of yourself or a friend and then play a game where you are being attacked by an onslaught on the person's face and you have to shoot the mobing targets.  Augmented Reality games are played with the support of the AR cards.  Place them on a table and use the 3DS's 3D cameras to watch amazing things happen before your eyes.  For example, watch as a dragon breaks through your living room table and you have to defeat it with the 3DS's lasers.  Another fun feature is the Mii Maker that allows you to create a Mii, or cartoonized version of yourself.   You can also make the Mii by taking a photo of yourself and allowing the automatic feature to compare the photo and make a Mii that matches the photo.  The 3DS is not only a new hand-held game system, it's a new platform altogether.  Here's a video from ign.com of some more of the the things included in the 3DS out of the box at launch.
