Several models were released as the device was updated throughout it's life. They include the original Nintendo 3DS, the Nintendo 3DS XL, the Nintendo 2DS which doesn't have 3D, but can play all of the platform's games, the New Nintendo 3DS, the New Nintendo 3DS XL, and the New Nintendo 2DS XL, as well as several special editions with unique cases.
Personal
Shortly after the device was released, a co-worker of mine bought one an brought it into work. He let me see the 3D version of Pilot Wings, which I thought looked interesting, but I never saw him with it again, so I didn't think it must have been that impressive.
Games

The only games I'm aware of for the Nintendo 3DS are those which were first published on other platforms.
Review
I've only ever used a 3DS for an extremely brief moment, so I can't yet write a review on it.
