Should I Buy It?
If you're a Fire Emblem fan or a collector of limited edition consoles, this 3DS XL is a worthwhile purchase. Its superior IPS display, unique design, and improved performance offer a compelling upgrade or addition to your collection. However, be prepared for the possibility of needing an additional charger and game purchase, and remember the "screen lottery" if screen quality is a deal-breaker for you.
Purchased one of these beauties after having to return a Monster Hunter Generations N3DS XL due to a horrendous top screen (which was indeed a TN panel with color bleeding and 3D issues). I was a little hesitant to pay the extra money (especially with this whole screen lottery business going down with Nintendo), but I understand the raise in price since it can no longer be found in stores (not to mention the limited edition factor) - so I figured I could at least keep the device for collection purposes if it ended up being a TN top panel. Luckily I hit the BIG lotto and scored a dual IPS system with the one I purchased and everything was genuinely new and unopened. Right away upon turning on the system I could tell both screens were IPS, which was vital to me as the 3D eye tracking is rendered useless on a TN screen (for my eyes anyways). After testing Monster Hunter 4U and Generations on a TN screen, I can personally say there IS a big difference in the two types of screens - you can see way more detail and "further" in the distance with the IPS, where the TN not only fades the color, but gives distant scenery and objects a more "dull" appearance. The TN screen also makes some areas/objects (at least in MH) look ridiculously bright too - almost like someone set the white levels way too high. The worst part though is definitely the wacky and unstable "stable" 3D. For me, a TN screen causes the screen to blink or freak out when its on 3D mode (almost like it cannot track my face), whereas the IPS screen seems way more stable and consistent and I don't find myself dizzy when playing for long periods. As for this limited system itself - it is absolutely gorgeous, its covered in the dragon symbols from FE Fates which makes it look just completely epic. In my own opinion, I'd say its one of the nicest LE systems I have seen this far. Sure the back panel (black) is a fingerprint magnet, but that's to be expected with a glossy finish. I use a Duraflexi case cover (as well as a protective carrying case) on all my LE systems, so I can play without having to constantly polish any debris or prints off. I especially love how they made this system dual colors, even going so far as to make the inner buttons and slots the opposite color; it really is a sort of ying-yang feel to it - definitely fitting to the theme of Nohr VS Hoshido. The stunning screen graphics and the added c-stick (although the c-stick could have been better designed) is definitely an upgrade from my Pokemon X & Y 3DS XL (my only other dual IPS system) and I am super happy I can finally enjoy the new features of the N3DS without losing gameplay/graphic quality. I wish everyone luck on the screen typing though...again, like others have said, it is unfortunately completely random on whether or not you will get a TN or IPS....so may the odds be ever in your favor if you decide on purchasing one. ****And No the N3DS XL's do NOT come with an AC charger...this system also does NOT come with a downloaded copy of FE Birthright or Conquest either - both will need to be purchased separately, or you can use a charger from an older 3DS system. With this you will receive: the system, a manual, and the AR Cards.

Received a model with a TN display on top, and an IPS for the bottom touch screen. Even scrolling a webpage down and viewing the exact same thing on the lower screen looked better - made the top screen look offcolor and just bad in comparison. Auctioned mine and got a typical black one with the better screen. After using it for maybe three minutes, i realized that the 3D is both better and more stable on the IPS screen as well - you're genuinely getting a much lesser product if you settle for the TN screens. It's sad that this is such a common problem with the Fire Emblem release, cuz the actual design of the casing is gorgeous - the emblazoned dragons and logos are subtle and the monochrome is classy.

How could you go wrong with the Warehouse Deals? Yes, the outer box had some scuffs, light scratches, a long vertical dent on the front, and the side cardboard tooth for securing the flap was ripped off taking about two inches of the backside. But everything that mattered was intact! Well, for the most part. All items were there, still shrink wrapped, completely brand new. The only downside is that there's a small very annoying dent on the bottom screen. Like someone opened the 3DS to inspect it, and dropped the tip of a knife on it. I imagine they dropped a boxcutter on it for some reason? To better imagine the dent, take a pen and push down hard on a piece of paper. The ink from the pen is a white dot on the screen along with the screen giving into the weight from the impact. BESIDES THAT SMALL BLEMISH, the entire system is unharmed! Everything is slick, smooth, literally brand new as could be. All features work like a charm as well. This would've gotten 5 stars, but I'm more baffled by how--or why--someone dropped something on the bottom screen to give it a dent. The box showed no signs of sharp dents nor does the top of the system. Either way, an amazing deal.

I've had the former version of the 3DS XL for a few years now, and when I saw this up for sale I decided to upgrade. I've been a huge fan of Fire Emblem since it came to the US. I didn't have to upgrade, and I probably wouldn't have if this wasn't a Fire Emblem edition, but it being a FE edition was enough of a selling point to get me to buy. The game does NOT come with it, which may deter some people from purchasing it. Mine arrived today and I'm very pleased with it. The online pictures made the dragons and logos on the front and back cover look very pronounced and almost cartoonish, so I was a little worried the DS would look childish. The dragons and logos are actually really faint and only jump out when the light catches them at an angle. I really like the effect. It's subtle but still noticeable without appearing garish. As for the system itself, there are some noticeable improvements over the original 3DS XL. The improved 3D is noticeable, as I can see it without finding the perfect centered angle like I did with the old one. The old 3D was basically not useable for me since it required you to fix yourself in one position for long periods of time. Plus it gave me headaches. This version seems to cause less eye strain, although I've yet to use it for prolonged periods of time, so I may change my mind and turn it off. The system layout and button configuration has a more ergonomic feel than the old 3DSXL. The internal hardware is faster, although I've yet to put that to the test. But, let's be honest, I bought it because it was a FE edition and the added features were just a plus. All in all, even without the game included I'm very happy with the purchase.

The system worked for games, but had major issues connecting to the internet and the 3D did not function properly. The screen's image always had shifted "shadows." I used my 3DS XL to test out the game I was playing on this New 3DS XL system and I did not have any issues on my older system at all.
