Well, I played it yesterday (3/19/2011) but had absolutely no time to write this.
My experience with the 3DS:
I went to Best Buy expecting it not to be there because I called a few days before the Nintendo site's map was up. They said they didn't have it. I drove there, walked in and around. Finally found the game section. I saw a PS3 kiosk, then almost immediately after saw the 3DS one next to it. Not one person was using it.
I was playing Pilotwings Resort for like 5 minutes and an employee comes up and says, "Hey. Is the 3D working?" and he looks at the screen and instantly said, "Oh yeah! That's working nice!" Then he was talking about how looking at it makes it feel like he's tripping, and he can't wait to get drunk and play one.
So, yeah. I had no troubles with the 3D. Pretty much everything I expected (Which was a lot). Slider was great, volume slider was great, Wi-Fi switch is cool, L+R buttons were good, Start buttons were sweet, and the design felt and looked amazing. The Pilotwings demo was alright... I was pretty disappointed. The controls and 3D were awesome in the game. Really easy learning curve, but it just seems like there won't be much to do in the retail version. Hopefully I'm wrong, because it's one of the only launch games I have interest in.
I tried doing the trick to get to the menu but I couldn't get it to work. I was really hoping to see the menu. So basically, I beat three of the six missions in Pilotwings and then did the other free-flying mode or whatever it was.
To sum up the whole thing fast, there were no disappointments with my experience except getting bored with Pilotwings and not being able to see the menu screens. I really don't have no complaints about the design at all.

Didn't have that much time to write this, so it's a kind of bad preview, but there are thousands of other previews that you guys have all probably read.
