Former IGN Nintendo Executive Editor Craig Harris recently gave his thoughts on the Nintendo 3DS launch.

As soon as I laid my own peepers on the 3DS system at E3 2010, I was sold. Limitations aside, 3D without glasses definitely worked. And after time spent with a personal unit, I'm as big a fan as I was at E3.

I'm one of the gamers who won't turn off the 3D; if that slider is in its off position, I immediately feel like I'm missing out on something. Even in games like Ridge Racer – where I'll instinctively drift my system out of the optimal range – I'll put up with the split-second double-imaging and fight to drift back into stereoscopic simply because the 3D effect truly enhances the experience for me.

The launch line-up is the bulletpoint that seems to be taking the largest beating, and I agree – to a point. There are three outstanding games to play: Super Street Fighter IV, Ridge Racer 3D, and Pilotwings Resort. But one's a port of a year-old game, another's a rehashing of content from previous games in a popular series, and the last is a game in a first-party franchise that seems to be the redheaded stepchild of the company. So it's hard for the mass market to celebrate a Day One library when there's really nothing sticking out as a contemporary classic. -- Craig Harris.
