  • Best Portable Gaming Option/Worth Upgrading
Edition: Black Configuration: without AC Adapter
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

  • Not Bad At All!
Edition: Black Configuration: without AC Adapter
I really debated getting this because I was holding out for the smaller version, but I finally gave in (about a month or two before the small one hit stores, but oh well!). I went ahead and got the black New 3DS XL, which is now my very first XL sized system ever. My very first impression of the unit is that it's quite a bit larger than I'm used to, but that makes sense since it's an XL unit. I got used to the feel of it after a few days. However, the graphics look worse, but I'm sure that's entirely due to older DS games being stretched to fit on an XL screen. Of course, never having used an XL sized unit before, I can't say for sure what is the effect of the larger screen or not. Still, things don't look unplayably bad, just a bit pixelly and fuzzy at times. Strangely, my copy of the first Phoenix Wright game looked pretty bad, and I wasn't expecting that since it's just 2D flat anime-style graphics, and those tend to look nice even at low resolutions. Still, other games looked relatively fine. The new 3D face tracking effect does seem to work better than the older one, but this doesn't help me because I tend to get dizzy/nauseous if I use the 3D effect (I usually keep it turned off), and this one seems to effect me worse (but that might be purely due to the larger screen size). Another change to the system is some new button placements (I rather like the new position of the power button because it's easier to avoid accidentally pressing). Also, the wifi setting is now just a menu setting instead of a physical switch, which I feel neutral about. I should also note that anyone who has owned the old 3DS model might know about its notorious screen scratch problem where some units would close too tightly and scratch their own screens. This problem has been fixed for the New 3DS XL, as the unit is now molded to prevent this issue. The change I like the best, though, is the new auto-brightness feature (which no one ever talks about, strangely). This is super-handy, as I can go from playing in the dark to in a brightly lit room without having to constantly change the screen settings (it works surprisingly well – I haven't had an issue with it yet). As for other improvements, I've heard that the processor is better in this, but I haven't really experienced any faster load times (at least that I noticed). I did get a 10 hour battery life out of it, though, but I was playing mostly in the dark and it was an old DS game, so that might be the reason. Now, onto some changes that were rather negative. The new stylus is short and stubby and doesn't expand anymore, which I miss. Also, like many older models, the outside seems to attract fingerprints. Why can't they ever release nice matte versions that don't show fingerprints?! Sigh. Other than that, the placement of the SD card inside the cover (such that you have to remove the cover to access it) is kind of stupid. Overall, this seems like a great, solidly built system, but I'm not sure it's really worth it to switch over now if you already have the old 3DS. You might want to wait until there's more exclusive games out for it. If you don't have a 3DS yet and want to acquire a Nintendo handheld, then this is a great system to jump in with. I, personally though, will probably swap this XL unit out for the smaller version later – I think the smaller size suits me better. ... show more
