Sleek and light. Shockingly powerful.
The console feels better than all the previous iterations. The top screen is bigger than the bottom screen. The buttons feel good, the new joystick isn't perfect, it actually needs more grip for your thumb. When you make zelda run straight across hyrule field, your thumb will get tired because it is under strain. This and the battery life are the only two issues, and neither of these are that great of an issue.
I recommend buying one if you like classic nintendo games like Zelda, Star Fox, Metroid, Paper Mario, etc etc. Super Smash bros is likely to come out, and Resident Evil is on its way!
