Hey guys welcome to Unboxing Live!
I'm Andru Edwards Amazon VJ and editor-in-chief of GearLive.com .
Today we're gonna give you a deep-dive look at the Nintendo 3DS handheld game console.
So now as you can see we have the Fire Red, that's the color of this Nintendo handheld
console and these are about to get a little bit rare, because Nintendo is actually now
selling the new Nintendo 3DS XL and the Nintendo 2DS, which allows you to play Nintendo 3D
games in 2D, it's a little bit of a different looking console than a typical Nintendo 3DS
here.
So until such point that Nintendo decides to start selling the New Nintendo 3DS here
in the United States of America, the typical Nintendo 3DS is your option if you want this
size but it may be hard to find because they're not actively promoting that as being on sale
anymore, but that means that we're going to jump in and get a look at the Nintendo 3DS
handheld game console.
The Nintendo 3DS as we said, this is the first 3D handheld game console, not only by Nintendo
but really by anyone.
We're starting off with the Quick Start Guide right on top,
then you know that you get the Nintendo 3DS System, the charging cradle, the AC adapter,
and a stylus, if you plan on picking up the new Nintendo 3DS XL consoles and you already
has an AC adapter go ahead and hang on to that the new console doesn't include one in
the box, so if you get rid of it, you'll gonna need to purchase a new one for about $10.
Also in here are some AR Cards augmentend reality, these are the cards that you are
able to play at the surface pointing at the 3DS cameras will pick up the content on the
card and create augmentend reality for you to play
with, which is actually pretty cool.
There you've got the Nintendo 3DS AC adapter, there's the AC adapter there.
You get the Nintendo 3DS charging cradle, which allows you to connect the end of the
AC adapter right into there and then when you charge, you'll just gonna lay the Nintendo
3DS in to the charging cradle.
Super easy to charge!
You can also just plug this directly in to the Nintendo 3DS as well, so you have two
options there for charging.
And lastly, the last thing in the box there is going to be the Nintendo 3DS console itself,
which we'll go ahead and open up now.
And there it is again, it's going to be the Fire Red color for the 3DS.
What it looks like inside, black up top then on the bottom it's a metallic red, fire red
color.
There you see on the back, you got the red again, gray silver accent right on top, be
careful with the piece of hardware.
We're gonna give you a tour on the hardware right now, so let's get a little closer in.
Right on front you see you've got two cameras on the outside, stereoscopic cameras allow
you to take 3D images.
On the inside, you've got a third camera right there at the top, facing you as you as the
player, you've got your dual-screen displays here on the upper display is the 3.5-inch
LCD and the lower is gonna be a 3.02-inch LCD, so the top is bigger than the bottom,
the entire console weighs about 8 ounces.
Here on the inside you also see you've got a pair of speakers so stereo speakers, this
slider right here is gonna be how you turn on and off the 3D effect, you can also just
turn it down, it's a slider so you can easily control how much of a 3D effect you wanna
experience at any given time.
You got your digital and analog thumb sticks, A, B, Y, X buttons on the right, and your
power button beneath that.
Alongside the bottom of the lower display, you see the select button, the start button,
and a home button, to take you out of the typical home screen experience there.
Looking at the side of the console, you've got your volume slider on the left hand side
of the top and an SD card slot right there.
It actually comes with an SD card built-in, you get 2GB of storage space right off the
back.
Over on the right hand side, not too much going on, you've got your wireless switch,
which basically enables and disables the Wi-Fi antenna.
You've got a headphone port there and a LED indicators to let you know that it's charging,
whether it's in the process of charging or done charging, and then you'd know if it's
turned on or not or if it's in a suspended state.
On top, you've got your left and right shoulder buttons, the cartridge slot there, stylus
which is just bolted right there, and lastly you've got your charger port.
Internal memory clocks in at 64MB and aside from Wi-Fi, the Nintendo 3DS also supports
local Nintendo wireless connectivity between devices as well as 802.11 b/n/g Wi-Fi as well.
The top display on the 3DS is gonna be 800x240, while the bottom display is gonna be 320x240,
the bottom display is the touch sensitive one, the top is not.
Estimated battery life is gonna be between 3 and 8 hours, depending on what you're doing
with the console that time.
And that was your look at the hardware of the Nintendo 3DS.
