I picked up my shiny new Aqua Blue 3DS this afternoon and spent the evening wearing down the battery. When I first opened the box, I knew right away that a 3DS Lite is not far off.
The system is a bit box and the proportions of the "lid" vs the "base" are a little off. The body could definitely be a bit more slick. I love the telescoping stylus, but the placement is strange. The Start and Select buttons are also in a strange position underneath the touch screen. It's way too easy to mistake the Power button for the Start button in the middle of a game and loose all your data. I love the home button and the menu/channel system.
One of my favorite things is the note pad. I love the idea of taking notes in games by exiting really quick and going right back to it. The Mii channel has the some facial features as the Wii version, but the camera creation of a Mii never seems to work very well. I was very impressed with the AR cards and I'm looking forward to diving int those more.
I picked up Steel Diver and Pilotwings Resort and I'll post more thoughts on those tomorrow.
