    • Best Portable Gaming Option/Worth Upgrading
Color: Black
Amazing product! Actually, I think this is what the original 3DS should have been like, particularly with regard to the super-stable 3D. And I was not disappointed in the least by the previous version. If you haven't bought a DS system yet, and this is your entry into portable gaming, I highly recommend this system. I didn't expect to be impressed when I bought the precious model 3DS XL, but I was, so much so it gave me the confidence to buy the Wii U and know I would like it. The 3DS XL was my first Nintendo system since GBA SP and GameCube more than a decade ago, and is what got me to enjoy gaming again (wish I had more time to play, but weekends are fun because I have this and the Wii U). Believe me, as someone who has the previous generation 3DS XL also, the super-stable 3D performs better than I expected, and truly is super stable. I liked how I could aim weapons, like the bow and arrow in Zelda by rotating the console to look around and aim (which makes it very easy to be quick and accurate, especially compared to using the circle pad to aim), but on the previous version of the system, I had to turn the 3D off to do it because I would see double every time I rotated to aim, which would make me miss. With the super stable 3D, you can move all around and the 3D stays 3D and stable, which means now I can aim great using the 3D and no longer need to switch it off ever. It also makes it so much more comfortable on the eyes, and doesn't cause strain over long periods like the older system sometimes did. I've seen some people say it's not worth upgrading if you have the previous generation 3DS XL, but for me, the super stable 3D is worth it. And since I have Amiibo's I used with my Wii U, I like that I can use them for my 3DS now also. With regard to the extra C-stick, it's nice, but I only have one game that supports it since only the newer games are starting to take advantage of it. On my previous 3DS XL, I bought the Circle Pad Pro for the extra stick, but I hated that it made the system too bulky to be considered truly portable. The XL barely fits in your pocket as it is, so it just wasn't worth hauling the CP Pro around for what little it did. That said, I'm glad the new generation XL has it built in. The C-stick does not work as comfortably and easily as the CP Pro did, but like I said, it barely gets used even when it's supported. It does work decently, though, and it is pressure sensitive. It's a lot like when laptops had that crappy little rubber joystick in the middle of the keyboard to control the mouse/pointer. But unlike that situation, where it was a pain to use to control a pointer, it is much more appropriate and easier to use for the purpose of controlling external camera angles (the typical purpose in games). The New 3DS also has the additional shoulder buttons like on the CP Pro. All in all, it is not a feature that alone is worth upgrading to this system from the previous generation. The only other thing there is new about it is the faster processor. The New 3DS XL does perform noticeably faster than the previous, but it's not like the previous version was slow, so it's not a major selling point with regard to upgrading. All-in-all, I'm happy about my upgrade. But I am a working adult who grew-up with Nintendo, and so I have my own money to buy things to fill my spare time. As a parent, I probably wouldn't be ready to fork out the money for my kid to upgrade from the previous 3DS XL (unless you're rich and like to spoil your kid). If they have the first 3DS version, I'd consider buying them the upgrade, but not and upgrade from the immediate predecessor. Like I said, the super-stable 3D made it worth the buy for me, and I would consider it the greatest selling point if you are considering upgrading. I bought a PSP (the predecessor to the PlayStation Vita portable console, upon which the Vita is based), and I did not enjoy playing it very much for very long. It was packed with features, but it just didn't hold my attention. That's what I worried would happen when I first bought the 3DS XL, but it was totally different. In terms of fun, the 3DS smokes the PSP/Vita to me. The Nintendo system is just way more fun to play, and I can't describe it in any other way other than I don't get bored 15 minutes later like I did with PlayStation's system. ... show more

    • Why buy a 3DS in this new era of gaming?
Color: Multicolor
I get that question a lot from friends and family. The Switch is out, and it’s better than everyone could have ever hoped for from Nintendo, and the New 2DS XL is much cheaper and plays the same games. Yet here I am, with my New 3DS XL. And I LOVE this thing. Summary: The New 3DS XL’s face-tracking 3D, rich library of games, and faster processing power make it the premium 3DS system. The design on the cover is unique and cool. However, knowing the flaws the system has and what other options are available is extremely important before making this purchase. Details below. For this review, the term “older 3DS model” refers to the original 3DS, original 2DS, and original 3DS XL, and the term “newer 3DS model” refers to the New 3DS, New 3DS XL, and New 2DS XL. The real main reason I bought a New 3DS XL is my original 3DS XL started having problems; it couldn’t read game cartridges as quickly as it used to, and the volume slider started adjusting itself. I had replaced my circle pad at least twice from playing Smash, which voided my warranty (if not for having the device for so long). I still wanted to play Smash and all my other games in all their glory, though, so instead of repairing the old system, I got a New one. While it is just an upgrade in my case, the New 3DS XL has renewed my interest in the 3DS for a few reasons. Number one is processing power. Those upgrading from a newer 3DS model or buying a 3DS for the first time won’t notice a difference, but people upgrading from the older 3DS models definitely will. The device is extremely fast when loading menu options or performing simple tasks, like downloading software or updates. Of course, cartridges load a little quicker, too. Games that require more processing power like Smash or Generation 7 Pokémon are noticeably faster to start up on the newer models. If you have an older 3DS model, you’ll know that these games require the system to entirely restart when exiting the software, much like normal DS cartridges. However, with the newer 3DS models, these games just close much like other software does - they just take you back to the Home Screen, no restart required. This makes the newer 3DS much more efficient on the go. For example, when playing with friends on the school bus ride for a field trip, you can easily switch games in a matter of seconds with a newer model in comparison to a matter of minutes with an older model. Number two is the selection of games. If you’re not satisfied with the incredible library the 3DS has, all 3DS models have backwards compatibility with original DS games, too, making the 3DS’s collective library one of the most rich and diverse. While it is true that the 3DS does not have any 10/10 IGN games (and probably won’t see one in its lifetime, since Nintendo will most likely stop pushing the 3DS no later than 2019), game experiences like those found in Animal Crossing: New Leaf and Fire Emblem Awakening have yet to be replicated on the Switch at the time of writing. Number three is the face-tracking 3D, or “Super-Stable 3D,” as Nintendo calls it. The New 3DS and New 3DS XL have a second front-facing camera that tracks facial movements and adjusts the 3D to fit the angle of your point of view. You’ll know it’s activated because a little red light in the second camera will glow (it’s not glaring or bright, but it’s just enough to know it’s on). I watched video reviews of face-tracking 3D online, but I didn’t know how much I would enjoy it until I tried it out on my friend’s New 3DS XL. I have recently begun playing Mario Kart 7 again. I had the 3D almost always off when I played it on my old 3DS XL, since it was hard to keep my face straight to look at it and admire it, but on the New 3DS XL, it adjusts well, even when I have glasses on, and I have almost exclusively played it with 3D on since I transferred my save data to the new system. An advantage the New 3DS XL has over the Switch is the price. When compared to the Switch, the 3DS is obviously cheaper on the outside, but the price goes much deeper than that. For a Switch to be fun for everyone, you either need several Switches or several controllers, be they Joy-Con or Pro. The best Switch games cost around $60, maybe a little less if you hunt online or buy used games. The 3DS, on the other hand, only requires other people to have the console. Most games are $40 max, but some of the best were dropped to $20 because of the Nintendo Selects Program (this, unfortunately, does not include Smash, Mario Kart 7, or any main series Pokémon game). In my case, I had a ton of 3DS and DS games already and just needed a faster, more reliable console to continue playing them. While one might argue that the requirement that everyone needs a console to play is steep, I think having a 3DS to play with others also allows everyone who owns a system to enjoy the single-player games as well. Also, all DS models also have DS Download Play, allowing anyone with a DS to wirelessly connect and play together as long as at least one person has the game in question. Undoubtedly, the most popular game to use this feature is Mario Kart DS/Mario Kart 7: as long as one person has one of these games, everyone else can join in. A New 3DS XL can play an original DS game with an original Nintendo DS, but keep in mind that an original Nintendo DS can’t play a 3DS game at all, even through DS Download Play. Why buy this New 3DS XL over the 2DS models (2DS and New 2DS XL)? The main reason is the face-tracking 3D. It is well worth the price on games like Mario Kart 7 and Animal Crossing: New Leaf - games that utilize it well definitely have a more enriched experience, and I can no longer imagine how they’d play without it at this point. However, I will say that if 3D is not your incentive for buying any 3DS or 2DS model, then investing in a New 2DS XL is a better option: it’s cheaper, comes with a charger, and plays the same games. Why buy this specific SNES version of the New 3DS XL? While the other New 3DS XL colors might be cheaper, the New 3DS XL based on the SNES is definitely one of the cooler designs. The colors are perfectly toned, and the design is not a sticker on the cover: it is indeed plastic. There is no texture, but the device still pops. The device also does not have a metallic luster like the New Black or New Red models: it has a matte finish, which means it won’t shine in someone’s eyes when you’re playing outdoors. Plus, the SNES edition comes packed with a download code for Super Mario Kart, which, while not the same as Mario Kart 7 or 8, is still loads of fun to play. Other notes - commenting on reviewers’ issues: One debate in the reviews discusses TN and IPS screens. I have played on my friend’s New 3DS XL, which has a top IPS screen, and it does appear brighter, but the colors also look a bit too strong. 3DS software was designed with TN screens in mind, so I personally am more comfortable with the TN screens this device comes with. My system also doesn’t have any scan lines or anything on it (it just looks like my old 3DS XL screen). If you desperately need an IPS screen for some reason, the New Black model is the one that most likely has them, but Nintendo sometimes mixes and matches. The SNES edition, though, always has TN screens, so keep that in mind when purchasing. One source of negative reviews is the lack of charger. This, while a bad move on Nintendo’s part, should not dissuade you from buying this system if you want its design and functionality. Chargers are often less than $10 at this point, and third parties are coming out with 3DS-to-USB cables to let you use your portable charger with your 3DS (which, I have to say, comes in really handy on long trips without access to power, especially if you’re using StreetPass). The other main source of negative reviews is the complicated system transfer, which requires a user to take off the back panel using a screwdriver to replace the MicroSD card that the system comes with. I did end up damaging the back panel on one side, but it’s completely unnoticeable, and I didn’t remember until writing this review, weeks after I replaced the SD card. The transfer didn’t take more than half an hour for 8-16 GB, but it is still a significant portion of time you might need to sit down and monitor to ensure nothing goes wrong. My best suggestion is to buy a 32 GB Micro SD right off the bat. If you plan on downloading games, 32 GB is the maximum size the system can take naturally, and after installing it, you wouldn’t ever need to take off the back panel unless your battery needs replacement, which for me on my original 3DS XL system, has never happened. Overall, this New 3DS XL is, unexpectedly, the premium 3DS. Its face-tracking 3D, rich library of games, and faster processing power push it above and beyond all other 3DS systems. While $200 is steep when the 2DS and New 2DS XL are much more manageable in price (and the Switch is just around $100 more), understanding which model suits your needs becomes all the more important. If you want the top-of-the-line 3DS system with all the new features, this system is the one for you. However, if the price is too steep, I would drop to the New 2DS XL, and if you don’t want to be left behind with older games, I would invest in a Switch. ... show more
