My brother had a chance to spend a few hours with the new Nintendo 3DS. If anyone knows about gaming and handhelds it’s him. He has never once steered me wrong in terms of a handheld review or recommendation. Over on his side blog he writes:

I must say I am impressed with the device. It is a must buy for Nintendo Handheld fans. I do not recommend it to those who are casual handheld gamers, stick to the DSi for now. There is not enough games on the market to make it worth you while if its something you are not a fanatic over.

Just on that paragraph alone I’m sold. If you like handheld, portable gaming then get your hands on the system of tomorrow. I have said for some time now that mobile gaming and the mobile platform is the wave of the future. These companies will boom in the coming months and years. As the market gets larger more and more innovation is coming. Nintendo is leading the way but soon these smaller garage game developers will bring the masses in.
