The 3DS is having a bumper 2013, with titles like Fire Emblem: Awakening, Luigi's Mansion 2, Donkey Kong Country Returns 3D and Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate thrilling fans all over the globe. However, killer software isn't the only reason to love Nintendo's popular portable — and with that in mind, Nintendo UK is asking owners to come up with their own justifications for adoring the handheld system.
"3DSreasons" is a campaign which has been launched on YouTube but encompasses Twitter and Facebook, too. Nintendo UK is asking fans to reply with their own personal suggestions by leaving a comment, posting to Twitter under the hashtag #3DSreasons or even creating their own unique video response on YouTube.
We encourage you to take part in this campaign, as it really lets Nintendo know what you love about your 3DS — which means the company can do more of the same in the future. Of course, please also post a comment below to tell us what reason you gave — sharing is good, remember?

The games
I love my 3DS because of Kid Icarus: Uprising and Luigi's Mansion 2, and I bought it mainly because of Pokemon X/Y too. 83
3D without GLASSES
3D without glasses AND a brand new Nintendo handheld (at the time). Best investment of my life.
backwards compatibility with DS!,
backwards compatibility with DS!,
The ability to connect with friends not just through meetups, but around the world.
It's an all in one portable tank! Retail downloads (owns a 32 gig SD card), awsome eShop exclusives, full backwards compatibility, awsome Virtual Console Support, top quality games (sometimes higher than consoles), and the graphics have proved the self to be beyond passable (although I would like to see more effort go into games other than Mario)
Easy to answer... Fire Emblem and Luigi's Mansion! Expecting to add New Leaf to the list of reasons very soon.
"It's all about the games"
Hardware quality is superb.
Amazing games: MH3U, MK7, DKCR etc.
eShop is good.
Easy to carry around.
Power of a Wii means beautiful games.
Everything I wanted in one.
Oh, and 3D. In my hands! What else?!
The power of "BACKWARDS COMPARABLE" and "USE GAMES"!!!!!!!!!! YEAH!!!
.....unlike PS VItanic and XBOX ONE.
The Great Quality.
The Fantastic Retail Games.
The cool eShop and VC downloads.
The DS compatibility.
Kid Icarus: Uprising, Fire Emblem and Mario Kart make it the greatest for me.
Brings back memories i had as a kid (mainly mario games),
amazing games
AND
online play which is(or someday will be) much better than the wii's
The ability to download pictures and add 3D.
The amazing games, e-shop, better online features, the 3D, and of course Kid Icarus: Uprising.
1. The 3D. (I have 20/20 vision so I'm all about the visuals and the 3DS does not disappoint).
Runner up reasons:
2. Streetpass
3. Selection of games (both retro and new)
I like the 3D and the virtual console
The amount of quality built tech and quality games easily transported in my pocket.
It's really awesome!!!! so good!!! maybe because of all things I could do with it, but I want one more game to 3ds! Super mario 3d land 2! I't should be a little bit like ps3:s 'little big planet'. You now, create own levels, long main story, upload your own levels and so on! That would be awesome!!! Everyone shoyld buy it!
It's the home of my favorite franchise pokemon
Simple. Games, 3D effect without glasses, good online features, and download retail games. Wonderful handheld!
In general:
In regards to the XL model:
Oh my!! It says Nintendo on the case... That's why!!!!
I love my 3ds because it really is that good. I don't think I've bought more games for another console. Ambassador games were a great present. (yoshis island). Mario kart 7, Cave story 3d, Kid Icarus, NSMB2, Zelda OOT, Paper Mario, VVVVVV, Resi' revelations, Pullblox, Pilotwings, Angry birds, Castlevania, Luigis mansion 2, Fire Emblem and my fav' Bit trip saga. Soon Animal Crossing, DKC3D. I love it
because of the amazing effort and hard work they put into there games to make the games great and fun for the costumers
It's one of the best plataforms I've ever touched.
All of it!
It's practically a portable Wii, with 3D.
Unlike most people, I tend to play it plugged in...
Best hardware form factor (both 3DS and XL has points going for them). Not being tied to the couch while playing games is a big plus. 3D video and camera.
Various paint programs, Colors 3D, New Arts Academy.
Various music programs.
Petit Computer
Seriously, if they put some kind of BASIC programming on WiiU, I'd seriously consider getting it. I also love the fact that WiiU has video chat, and I'd like that on 3DS, too!
From what I have played on a friend's 3DS, I have to say that I love it because it offers a home console experience in a portable handheld. I cannot wait to get my own midnight purple 3DS! Its going to be a while; I hope that they do not discontinue the color
Many consider it a gimmick but I am loving the 3ds effect and am addicted to it. It is turned on all the time:)
@Peach64 i would have to agree with u they are two of the best games on the system. fire emblem eing my favorite on it and lm maybe 3 or 4
The 3D effect and the GAMES!!!!! 8D
From the great 1st and 3rd party games, to the great online in kid icarus, Residentevil revelations, Mario kart 7 and just many more, great Rpgs like Kingdom hearts 3D, Tales of the abyss Dragon Quest, Bravely Defult Flying Fairy, i love Friendslist in talking to my Friends online, the Great apps it has. the 3D is so amazing as well as the Graphics i honestly in personaly feel that the 3DS graphics Far surpass Wii graphics
The games are awesome with really innovative gameplay from drawing on the screen, blowing in the mic and using the buttons to jump or select or so much more than a "normal" console. I also love the sense of community offered by streetpass and spotpass content. The Miiverse on WiiU is great, but still like the web whereas the portability of the 3DS makes it a different experience. Attend a convention and you'll know what I mean by community. I want some special miis though! We're supposed to collect 10 and only 1 has been released! That's rubbish NintendoUK!
3ds without glasses?Incredible features on 1 epic console?Pheww this is the ultimate console and it's unbeatable
