The Nintendo 3DS in Aqua Blue (Image: Chris Southcott/techgeek.com.au) Almost 6 years after the Nintendo DS launched, Nintendo has come back with more portable goodness. But are the improvements, including the new 3D functionality, in the Nintendo 3DS enough to take 400 of your hard earned dollars? Or is it just another gimmick falling flat?
