Wow, I guess you guys are not as critical as me xD There's a lot I would change. Here goes:
- Make the case be a single body. Just by looking at it, you can tell it has a bazillion little different pieces of plastic. That adds thickness and weight. Look at the top half: protective plastic for the screen, then the actual plastic for the screen, then the outer plastic, then a protective transparent plastic for the outside. And don't get me started on the bottom half. But please keep the same smooth material. I love it.
"All that plastic" doesn't even add that much to the weight, it all the stuff built in to it and at the same time weigh less than the phat. Not only that "all that plastic" is there to protect the system.
- Move the stylus location. That is a no-brainer.
Left-hands rejoice. Maybe even make it contract and expand automatically as you put it in or out of the system.
How?
- Unify the notification LEDs. Really, and please. Six LEDs is too much, specially if they're all in different places. You got your On/Battery Status LED, charging LED, notification LED, Wireless LED, 3D LED and the camera LED. Too much.
All those LEDs mean different things and would confused people and cluster over each other . Notification and power on has the same color. "Well they can use different colors."Why spent all that time and money trying to find color LEDs when they can used the same ones? "Well the screen is on we don't need a power LED."
Yea, but if the system is on and the power LED off may indicate something wrong with the system plus it tells you when the 3ds is dieing. Even notifications and 3D have the same color.Having them all in one spot will cause to much confusion and too many different colors.
- D-pad could be a little larger. When switching from the Circle Pad, I always find it way too tiny.
Maybe not way too, but OK.
- Make the Start, Select and Home buttons easier to press, maybe making them touch sensitive, and/or glow a little to make them easier to find.
There not that hard to press. Glow? More LEDs!
- Add the hole for the wrist strap again. I miss it.
- Since we can access the Home menu anytime, I would do away with the physical Wireless switch and put it as a software switch, maybe even in the same place where you control the screen brightness.
Why go all the way to the menu, when I can just switch off/on from there?
- Better speakers, higher volume. IMO, the DSi has better speakers.
IMO they don't :/
- I know this one may seem like too much, but the first thing I noticed when I opened my 3DS is that the upper screen is not vertically aligned in the top half. It's a little lower than center. I know I'm being complainy, but I couldn't help but notice xD
I didn't see it. Specially when it has to be close to the bottom screen anyway because how ds game are made and there a camera right above.
cameras that can at least take a decent pic in medium lighting.
Only real problem for the cameras are to much light or no light. Any better cameras will make the price higher.
And where's my 3D video player?! xD!
