Who owns a new 3DS XL?

I don't own one but I'd like to at some point. I tried one on display and think the new camera button and better 3d is awesome. I hated to play in 3d on mine because I like to lay down and play which messes with the 3d. With the new one, I could sit or lay any way I wanted to. Once I get some extra cash I'm going to get one.

Yeah, the 3D is so much better and despite the screens being large they fit my small hands c:

As for the Wifi switch, I usually don't carry mine around that much so I need it. If I'm going on a plane or to a hospital I just don't take it C: And if you don't connect manually usually it's not on.
 
I got a new 3DS XL + SSB 3DS + Kirby amiibo for an early birthday present, anyone got one?

I also have got a fairly new 3DS XL smash edition but i do not have a New 3DS XL xD By the way, that is one expensive birthday present! I would never get that from anyone lol.
 
It's easy enough to turn the wifi off as long as you're not using it in a game though (As in, it's on but you're not visiting someone's town etc)

If you are visiting someone but need to stop it because of scammer or something, you can just press the power button.

Lol exactly, i actually never use the wireless switch because i always forget to turn it back on once i turned it off. The power button is just as easy in my opinion!

Pretty much this as well. Unless I'm playing or trading with people it's off. And if I'm somewhere else where I don't have Wifi access it's just off. And you can just turn off the game. Most place where you can't have it on have that for a reason.
 
I do as of yesterday. It's alright, waiting for my screen protector + case to come in before I start using it.

The console feels so much nicer and Smash 3DS feels just a little less inferior now. :)
 
Not yet. For Christmas I'll be getting one, maybe I'll get one sooner if my dad lets me and if something exclusive to it comes ipout that I'd actually play.
 
My brother bought one. The only he has on it is Animal Crossing, and he hasn't even played it very much. It's because since he hardly used the 3ds that he bought, then I started using it, and I pretty much claimed it. Eventually, he wanted it back, but all the games on it were mine so he decided to buy the new 3ds. He's always saying how much better it is.
 
Is the new 3ds xl worth it?

If you already own the older 3DS XL, then you would rather wait to receive it as your birthday or Christmas present. Better overall ergonomic, faster processing power for eShop downloads and select games, amiibo support available right out of the box, and of course the much more stable 3D effect are what the New 3DS XL offers. If these features are important to you and/or are desperate to play Xenoblade Chronicles 3D, there's no harm on getting it right away.


As for me, I already own a metallic black New 3DS XL since early March, and I'm enjoying every second of it. It feels so great holding this beast and I would recommend getting this one over the smaller New 3DS model. Shame that there aren't interchangeable cover plates like the smaller model do.

Target had a demo of MM3D on it and I tried it today.

WTF IS UP WITH THE 3D??? It kept changing even when I was COMPLETELY STILL. Please tell me you can turn this off. I want to use the 3D, but not when it's changing its angle every 2 seconds.

I own a limited ed pokemon x and y 3ds xl. I don't get presents on my birthday or christmas. I'm waiting to get a limited edition new 3ds xl, I'm so sad that I missed the majora's mask one.
 
I don't, but I'd like to purchase one at some point. I'm going to wait until they release a colour (white/pink) or a limited edition that I like though because I know I'd end up regretting buying one now only for them to later bring out one I like better. That is what happened with the original 3DS: I bought a flame red one, and very soon after they announced the coral pink.

Haha. I might wait until a limited edition one THAT ISNT SOLD OUT IN LIKE 2 MINUTES


I really wanted the Majoras Mask Limited Edition New 3DS XL but I couldn't find it anywhere. I only found like 1 on eBay for like $800 and there's no way I'm paying that much. I only would have gotten a N3DS XL sooner if I could get that one.
 
Not for me unless something happens to my 3DS XL :) Then I'll probably get one. But with the new amiibo reader etc coming out I'm quite happy keeping it.

Yea, same. Was tempted to buy one early for the Amiibo reader, but now that I know for sure it's coming out in not too worried about it. I hope there's a bundle that comes with the Amiibo reader and ACHHD, but who knows
 
I think personally, I'll just hold on to my Old 3DS XL until the next major release comes out, unless they release a main series Pokemon Game for the New 3DS, then I might think about it. The 3D is amazing though, I was able to play a bit of Monster Hunter 4 U on my friend's and it was amazing, that is how the 3D should've been when they released the 3DS, it actually works.
