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.

Let's taste the sweet before the sour. I was one of the lucky few in getting IPS screen both top and bottom, the Console looks amazingly beautiful, the color mix of black and pearl white is gorgeous. Games feel great using the right analog stick so now I can go back to games like Kingdom Hearts, Metal Gear Solid 3, Resident Evil Revelations, Final Fantasy Explorers & Zelda Majora's Mask. Amiibos work great and really easy to set up. Now for the sour part, first of all its a real shame that every one pays the same price for this unit (unless you purchased from one of the scalpers and got ripped off ) and some get TN screen and others the IPS, everyone should get the same product, if it's an earlier version I would completely understand but a lottery... Come on Nintendo many of us have been with you since the NES era. My second point would be the almost faulty screen I received with my console, my top screen came with 2 stuck pixels, they are barely noticeable but when the screen goes black you can see 2 blue pixels standing out, why don't I return it or use the warranty? Because if I call the warranty (thing I've done in the past) they'll tell me I won't get my same console they will send me one of the regular ones so with this a new scenario opens : I will receive either a black or red new 3ds (then Pre ordering this version would have been in vain) and second scenario, I get an TN screen so just for two pixels I lose my console, luckily there are videos in YouTube to fix this problem, takes time but it's fixable if you have the same problem do a search on the YouTube app on your 3DS and search for "Stuck Pixel Fix". Other than that the Console is great, started playing kingdom Hearts and it's much easier that with the regular 3ds. My rating will be 3 star why? Let's review Pros: -Great console -easier for games that require Camera movement -beautiful fire emblem theme. Cons: -TN, IPS LOTTERY (this is very important) -Stuck Pixels out of the box -unable to fix your console and rather send you a replacement(you send the special edition and get a regular one in return, but I bet people don't send the regular one and get a Majoras Mask version in return) About the people complaining about not including a charger, this is something Nintendo said for a while now and when they announced the Console they said there was also no game included with the Console so there's no need to complain about this and why is not in the cons list. I've attached images comparing my Fire Emblem new 3ds with my girlfriend's red new 3ds.

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.

Husbands little brother ‘hacked’ his original fire emblem ds and bricked it. Finally found one that wasn’t god aweful on price and it came yesterday. It’s in great shape! Some sticker goo on the top that we can easily clean off no problem. Only issue is that the battery’s bad. Charged it over night and it didn’t take. So we took the battery out of his bricked ds and put it in the ‘new’ one. Works like a charm! Would have given full five stars if it weren’t for the battery :)

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.
