Is the Nintendo 3DS Worth It

**Is It Worth Buying a 3DS? A Honest Answer**

Jack F from DD franco.com has asked an intriguing question: "What does that F stand for? French fries or Freedom?" While we might never know the true meaning of that elusive "F," Jack's follow-up query cuts to the chase: Is it worth getting a 3DS, or should he save his money?

In this article, I'll provide a straightforward answer based on my own experience. I received my 3DS as a gift, which was incredibly fortunate, but I believe I would have purchased one myself eventually. Here's why:

**The Right Time to Buy the 3DS**

Currently, in my opinion, it's the perfect time to buy a 3DS. Nintendo has recently dropped the price, making it more affordable than ever before. Additionally, there are numerous exceptional games available for the system now.

I wasn't an original 3DS owner, so I can't speak to its launch phase, but I've heard that things were pretty rough back then with limited game availability. However, times have changed, and now we have a stellar lineup of titles to choose from.

**Must-Play Games on the 3DS**

1. **Super Mario 3D Land**: This game is a must-play. It's a fantastic title that showcases the capabilities of the system.

2. **Star Fox 64 3D**: This classic title has been reimagined in glorious 3D, and it's as fun now as it was when it first released.

3. **Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D**: The iconic game has been given a new lease on life with updated visuals and gameplay mechanics. (Note: The mention of "spit on my camera" seems to be an editing error in the transcription and doesn't pertain to the game itself.)

4. **Mario Kart 7**: A fan favorite, this racing title is still as enjoyable today as it was when it first launched.

These four games alone are more than enough reason to invest in a 3DS console. While technically a portable device, for me, it's akin to having a handheld gaming powerhouse.

**The Killer Game: Animal Crossing 3D**

One game that hasn't even been released yet has me eagerly anticipating the 3DS: **Animal Crossing 3D**. I've been a long-time fan of the series, and this next installment is likely to be a standout title. While I won't delve into it further now, rest assured, I'll be creating detailed videos about it in the future for my DeFranco Gaming channel.

If you're interested in checking out more content like that, feel free to visit **YouTube.com/DeFrancoGaming** and subscribe. The channel has been around for a few months, and I've truly enjoyed sharing my gaming experiences with you all. My most recent video was about *Modern Warfare 3*, but this one is all about the 3DS.

**The Social Aspect of the 3DS**

One feature that sets the 3DS apart is its social capabilities. The **Street Pass**, **SpotPass**, and **Nintendo Channel** make it a highly interactive device. It's almost like having a Wii in the palm of your hand, allowing you to connect with others and explore new content on the go.

While I'm not the biggest fan of 3D movies, gaming without glasses is an experience in itself. The technology is impressive, and playing games in 3D adds a whole new dimension to gameplay.

**A Free Audiobook for You**

As always, I've got a treat for you. Visit **AudibleTrial.com/thetiveone** and download the audiobook *Super Mario: How Nintendo Conquered America* for free! Normally priced at $17.47, this book is a great listen for any gaming enthusiast or podcast lover.

I hope you enjoy it as much as I did. If you're into gaming and love free audiobooks or podcasts, this could be the perfect way to pass your time.

**Final Thoughts**

To wrap things up, if you're considering purchasing a 3DS, my advice is: go for it! With its extensive library of games and social features, now is an excellent time to invest in this system. Plus, with titles like Super Mario 3D Land, Star Fox 64 3D, Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, and the upcoming Animal Crossing 3D, you're sure to have plenty of entertainment.
