Review:

Photo Clock is an Application released on the Nintendo DSi via the DSiWare service in 2009 and then grandfathered into the Nintendo 3DS eShop when that system was released. As the title indicates, this software is a clock. You know, tell time, set alarms, that sorta’ thing.

There’s not much to the presentation here beyond your own photos taken with the Nintendo 3DS camera, and you need to be sure to save the photos to the Nintendo 3DS itself (the game cannot read a MicroSD card). You can set how frequently they cycle, but… yeah, that’s all this is.

As a reminder, the Nintendo 3DS already has a built-in clock. You can see it in the upper-right corner of your top screen whenever you press the home button in any game (apart from DSiWare titles like this one). I suppose you could look at this as a stylish way to set up a clock on your countertop or something to tick away while you do something else, but if that’s what you’re after, you’d be much better-served buying an actual clock. Heck, you can even get a digital photo frame clock if you’re so dead-set on the idea, and while it may not cost the $2 price that this does, it’s far more functional.

So… yeah, don’t buy Photo Clock, not unless you want to own a $2 oddity on your Nintendo 3DS.

tl;dr – Photo Clock is a Clock Application on a handheld platform that has a built-in clock. I shouldn’t even have to write more than that.
