Nintendo allowed the public to tryits new 3DS handheld game console at the Makuhari Messe center in Chiba over the weekend. The device renders games in 3-D without the need for special glasses.

We only just bought our kids regular DSes, and they're stuck to them. It's interesting how Nintendo have done their marketing campaign: They tickle you without showing you too much. I don't think ¥25,000 is too expensive, but we might wait till next year — maybe it'll come down in price.

My eyes hurt a bit. Some games implement the 3-D effect better than others. Fast-moving games like "Metal Gear Solid" and "Winning Eleven" worked well, but my eyes couldn't keep up with "Super Street Fighter IV 3D Edition." I'll wait until there are more good games before buying a 3DS.
