New Nintendo 3DS or New Nintendo 3DS xl?

[Trent the Paladin]

Unless they offer NA the Ambassador Edition of the N3DS, I plan on entirely skipping the thing until a Pokemon or Zelda XL comes out. Bigger screen is a must, I don't think I can go back to a smaller screen even if it's a little larger now.

Well, only the XL is available for US, so this is... dumb.

I wanted faceplates.

Well GameStop is doing a promo for the XL.
So I'll be getting mine for 125$. So I'm going with the XL. Mostly because I hate small screens. Just can't decide on a color.

There already is a Zelda XL.

Since I basicly collect DS consoles I'd probably get the XL one but only if they release a cool design limited edition or something. I currently have Yoshi xl and a normal red 3DS

 

[Hypno KK]

I read the title wrong.

 

[bloomwaker]

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

That's certainly true, although I have very small hands and have never had an issue with the XL. I actually had my hands getting more tired holding the smaller one for longer periods of time.

 

[Keylime]

I could certainly consider the XL, but I like the small size of the normal one! Personally, it's about comfort on carrying it around in a case/size of the case, etc.

Well, AMERICA DOESN'T GET THE NEW 3DS, AMERICA GETS THE NEW 3DS XL AND ONLY THE XL.

Rant of the day.

I would probably get a New 3DS XL, if I ever get a new one. (Don't judge)

 

[jobby47]

I would probably get the regular one, but I would maybe get the XL one.

 

[keybug55]

I would really like to get the regular new 3DS...OH WAIT I LIVE IN AMERICA....Sorry I just can't stand NoA right now >_<

Anyway, I prefer regular because I'm pretty used to mine. I also like the feel of it and the portability. Also the faceplates are a really nice touch. *twitches* But America though....

If I was to get one, I'd get the XL.
The regular one has the cover plates, yet the XL doesn't. Gr8 job @ marketing Nintendo

Regular 3DS screens are too small for me imo

 

[Chibi.Hoshi]

XL. You can get hard covers or plastic covers for the New XL. Custom and protection.

Cover Plates ---> $$$

 

[pika62221]

Well, I don't think we get a choice now, do we?! I originally wanted the smaller just because you know, handhelds are supposed to be small, light devices, it's why I love my original and 2DS over my XL and LL, even if the LL plays Japan only games.

The Standard New 3DS has the buttons actually colored, XL just has the text on the buttons colored, looks better on the Standard ):

 

[Eldin]

I think the standard size looks much better - because of the coloured buttons, matte finish (man do I hate glossy), and the cover plates. I don't really understand why they didn't make the XL the same, just with a larger screen.

That being said, if I were to buy one, it would be an XL. Only because I have a standard size right now, so I wouldn't see much point in upgrading to another standard size.

Also, you know, I live in NA so not much choice. c;

Since the New 3DS XL has been out in other places for a few months already, does anyone know of a place that does customized, full-cover decals? I'm talking about the ones like this:

I was planning on making one for my XL if the New XL wasn't announced soon, but since it was, I'm holding out. Nuvango, which is where I was going to make it, doesn't seem to have the New 3DS XL as an option yet. Maybe they will once it actually comes out in the U.S.

I've seen them on DecalGirl; https://www.decalgirl.com/skins/Nintendo-3DS-LL-Skins

And you can make customs, just click "Create Your Own" up at the top and pick "3DS LL" as the console (you'll know you've got the right one from the c-stick).

They're listed as 3DS LL skins, so it's a little confusing but from the pictures I believe it's for the New 3DS XL. As you said, I would guess that they will become available on most sites that currently do decals once they are released in the US, so you will probably see more then.

But anyways, hope this helps! c:

yes LL is the XL name in Japan...

I want the MM one.. Not too big of a MH fan really, at least not on the 3DS

Ah, so DecalGirl is Already carrying them. That's pretty nice. Thanks!

I just wanted to have most of it covered because I'm not a huge fan of gloss finish, haha...

Wow nice skins.. I love the Bark at the moon one and those non-Disney themed.
