New Nintendo 3DS or New Nintendo 3DS xl?

[Danielkang2]

I'd like to know which one you want or like? Please comment and vote. Thinking on getting the ambassador one. hmm

I've always been dreaming about upgrading my standard 3DS to an XL, so I would most likely get a N3DS XL if I had the money.

Btw doesn't this thread belong in the Gamers' Lounge?

I've got the New 3ds XL (LL) and it's sooo good!!!!!!!!!!
SO MUCH BETTER THAN THE OLD 3DS XL

 

[Ghost Soda]

neither. i'm good with my current 3ds, thank you.

The XL

The regular one is just a marketing tool to get more $$$

basically once you buy the regular 3DS + 2 cover plates, you've spent more than if you were just to outright buy the new 3DS XL - so the regular 3DS isn't worth it at all (unless you're really into wasting money on cover plates).
But imo, a bigger screen is better than the cover plates. And the plates are on the outside anyway, so it's not like you can see them when you're playing it... Idk I just never saw the purpose in the plates other than Ninty getting $$$

Some people find the bigger console uncomfortable to hold when compared to the regular

XL. I'm way too used to the big screens, and the faceplates don't interest me that much in the end. They are a really neat idea, but I feel like they're a bit pricey, and like I couldn't be bothered to change them so often.

The XL.
Big screen > Face plates, not sure why that's a thing for people when they whine about not wanting to put out $15 for Amiibo's that actually do something for your game, or that DLC, eShop or VC games cost too much, but they'll put out as much for a faceplate that does nothing except be there.

I didn't know that you couldn't put cover plates on the XL, so now I'm not very sure haha. I definitely prefer the bigger screens, though, and I feel like using a smaller one after this time would feel very strange.

 

[Lancelot]

Onlyway i'd get the regular is if there was a one piece world red case

 

[SolarInferno]

Would much prefer the XL when I actually do buy one of the new ones. Found the ordinary 3DS's screen looked too small to me, and my hands were simply too big for it so it just felt awkward.

 

[Heartcore]

XL! I get motion sick very easily and the big screens keep me from getting ill.

 

[Shimmer]

XL. I have a 3DS XL now and it's hard to go back to the smaller screen. ^^;

 

[Megan.]

If I was going to get one it would be the XL. Coming from the normal XL 3DS I don't think I could get used to the smaller screen.

 

[a potato]

I want the New 3DS because I think the XL is still freakishly large.

Also cover plates.

 

[VanillaBean]

Definitely the XL for the bigger screen size and all of that. I like the regular one though because of the faceplates.

 

[Improv]

The 3DS. I have an XL right now and while I do like the screen size, it gets uncomfortable to hold after extended periods of time.

 

[CR33P]

the 3ds, i could've gotten an xl but i didn't. i just feel like it feels more comfortable in my hands than an xl. if the xl comes in white i might consider it though.

oh and the the smaller one is matte

 

[Jake]

wtf i legit thought the majority of people on tbt wanted the regular one for the face plates, but i guess thats not the case LOL

 

[Saylor]

I think I'd like the XL a lil better. The faceplates are cool but my first 3DS was an XL and I've always played on that so I probably wouldn't wanna switch to the smaller screen.
