Breakdown of the 3DS
Friday, April 1, 2011 at 05:58PM The Front-
On the top screen we have the front facing camera in the center with the 3D screen, wider than the touch screen below. The slide on the right determines the depth of the 3D screen and in fact has the option of turning 3D off. On the left of the lower screen we have both a D-Pad and a directional pad which is highly beneficial for those who prefer the directional pad like in XBox and Playstation. Below the touch screen, the 'select' 'home' and 'start' are actual buttons you press down on, not touch sensitive. to the right of those is the power button, which I'm still getting used to from having the slide on the right in the DS Lite.

Right Side-
There's a switch that enables you to turn on or off the wireless functionality. Directly above that is again the adjustable 3D slider. Unlike the previous generations of the DS, this one has many Wii-like functions internally as well as on the outside.
Left Side-
The 3DS comes with a SD card which is the standard size, same as the ones found in digital cameras as well as the volume control to the left.

Top-
We have our R and L buttons which also have a camera icon next to them which will initiate the camera feature when you're on the home screen. The 3DS takes a 4.5V charge with the cable that comes with the system. The cartridge slot takes the normal DS games with the 3DS games having a slight extension on the top right corner.
