The bottom touch screen allows you to tap, swipe and draw your way through your in-game adventures with the included stylus. The 3DS also brings you a multifaceted photography suite so you can take photos in 3D, edit them and add some Nintendo charm.StreetPass and SpotPass connect your 3DS with other players and wireless hotspots, allowing you to partake in unique multiplayer experiences and get bonus content for several of the games you enjoy.
Purchased the bigger Nintendo 3DS XL for my kids, because I dont want them to strain their eyes looking at the small Nintendo 3DS. The 3DS slider is great because when you dont want to play the game in 3D you just turn it off. The price is a little bit high to pay since I had to buy 2 of them (Twins), but worth every penny. I purchase the Blue and the Red one and they seem really durable after a few weeks.
