This is our summary and key points to consider based on customer reviews.
The New 3DS XL has garnered positive reviews for its design and functionality. Users appreciate the sleek glossy and matte black design, improved physical feature layout including the relocated game card slot, sound slider, joystick, and power button, which enhances the overall gaming experience. Built-in support for amiibos and the ability to play games without problems even if initially intended for a non-US market are also highlighted. However, the glossy black surface is prone to fingerprints and smudging, and it's been noted that it does not come with a power adapter/charger, a common practice for Nintendo but a point of consideration for new buyers.

Should I Buy It?
If you're a fan of the 3DS series or looking for a durable handheld gaming console with a sleek design and improved ergonomics, the New 3DS XL is a worthy upgrade. Its minor drawbacks, such as the fingerprint magnet case and the absence of a charger, are easily outweighed by its enhanced gaming experience and design improvements. Just make sure to have a charger on hand or be prepared to purchase one separately.
