Nintendo 3DS XL Discussion Thread

1. Who's buying one.

2. Why and Why not.

3. How much money do you think it will be?

Ready... 3... 2... 1... DISCUSS!

 

[MygL]

I will, one of the reasons I haven't bought a 3DS (Other than the lack of money) is that I waited for a revision, glad I waited.

Just looked at it, it looks a bit ugly but I still like it, I was hoping for the second analog stick to be incorporated but oh well...

 

[Jake]

probably not

 

[JKDOS]

I'd like to think I'm buying one. But I must decide whether or not the huge screen is worth the price probably at $250?

 

[Jake]

I want to see if there's new stuff on it and yeah

 

[Justin]

Some details on it that I haven't seen mentioned here yet:

Retails at $199 in America.
90% size increase on the screens. (4.88 vs 3.56 inches on the 3D screen and 4.18 vs 3 inches on the touch screen)
Improved battery life over the original 3DS. (3.5 to 6.5 hours vs 3 to 5 hours)
Comes packaged with a 4GB SD card. (vs 2GB of the original)

I'm definitely interested. If my launch 3DS ever starts to have any problems and I need a new one, this one is definitely on my radar.

watching Europe's conference

poor no AC adapter..

 

[Justin]

poor no AC adapter..

Only in Japan I think? Or maybe Europe too? I know NoA has said there is an AC adapter included.

 

[Jake]

It was definitely for the European one - probably includes Australia, too. but idc

 

[Berry]

I think it's looking really nice! The black one is really sweet, everything is so rounded... NICE! Since AC is not coming this year for sure, I might gonna sell my 3DS, I'm hardly using it for now... Oh, man! And 199€ is not gonna be cheap, but I hope that Amazon is offering for less.. Anyway, I think the design is really sweet! And the white one is completely white, at least!

the colors look really bad IMO.

there's not even a black one,
i am happy they made the inside the same color, the color on the bottom and black on the top annoyed me

 

[Justin]

I quite like the blue colour. It's not coming to Japan though and I have no idea about Europe.

 

[Berry]

Bidoof, just look what Justin posted in this thread for Europe, btw, is no charger included, too :/ but a 4 GB card... In my opinion it's looking nice... What is so bad about the colours, Bidoof? For Europe confirmed colours are, white, red and and black-silver, DANG IT! No black one for Europe?? But I'm not going to buy one this year, so one can hope. Launch is on 27th of July, that's soon!

 

[Jake]

I just hate the colors, they look plain

 

[Justin]

They definitely do look more plain. The original 3DS colours are more... sparkly? Not sure what word to use but hopefully you get what I mean.

 

[Jake]

theyve got more of a lustre

 

[Berry]

If the new case is like the DSi 'matt' (dill, meaning that it's not shining... hope you get what I mean..) then I would love that! This way no one's fingerprints etc. would be shown on that case keeping a closer eye on it, it seems like this is happening.

 

[Jake]

I'm pretty sure they are matte.
But they're just too plain

 

[Riceicle]

I'm not gonna , I love my 3DS (Lite?) And besides the size of it makes streetpass portablity harder

 

[JKDOS]

I could do $200. Considering I sell my Current 3DS for $125
