Nintendo 3DS XL
I must say, this is a really great revision of the original Nintendo 3DS. I definitely love the size..the Nintendo 3DS always seemed a bit too small to me and so I'm happy with the increased 90% larger screen size.

Nintendo 3DS XL review
If you're hellbent on getting your nipper or yourself a 3DS, then the XL is the obvious choice. However, without the additional thumbstick, Nintendo has once again failed to deliver the means to comfortably explore 3D environments.

Nintendo 3DS XL review
The 3DS XL is a portable gaming professional with much to recommend about it, a whopping great screen and a decent raft of games being high among them. While smartphones reign the masses, the 3DS has proven there is still a market for dedicated gaming handhelds for at least the near future.
Pros:
- Bigger screen looks great
- 3D sweet spot much larger
- Comfortable curved design
Cons:
- Build feels a bit cheap
- Heft makes it cumbersome
- Bland styling

Nintendo 3DS XL
No prizes for guessing which route Nintendo has taken with the 3DS XL. This is the extra-large version of the 3DS, bumping up the dimensions from 134mm by 74mm by 21mm to 156 x 93 x 22mm.
Pros:
- A more immersive big-screen experience
- Makes 3D more effective and more practical
- More comfortable than the original 3DS
- Great games
- and easy and fun to use
Cons:
- Big screen spoilt by low resolution
- Battery life still not great

Nintendo 3DS XL review
The name tells you all you really need to know about Nintendo's latest handheld, not to mention its biggest selling point. The 3DS XL is to the 3DS what the DSi XL was to the DSi. It's a bigger version, with bigger dual screens.
Pros:
- A bigger screen with better 3D
- A more comfortable size and shape
- Excellent games
Cons:
- No second analogue stick
- Disappointing battery life
- Low-resolution screens

Nintendo 3DS XL review
A non-essential, yet evolutionary upgrade that offers the best on-the-go 3D gaming experience in classic Nintendo style

The Nintendo 3DS XL is a larger version of the Nintendo 3DS portable gaming handheld, 90 per cent larger than the original 3DS. It features two cameras, one on the inside, the other on the outside for taking photos and playing augmented reality-style games.
Pros:
- The much larger display makes games easier on the eye, bringing games to life to broaden the appeal of Nintendo's 3DS range
- Should you wish to have the 3D effect switched on, the effects are much more noticeable and obvious than before, Games such as Super Mario 3D Land and The Legend of Zelda:...
Cons:
- The larger screen makes games look even better, but even the 3DS cannot compete with the HD screen quality of the PlayStation Vita
- The build quality could also be better, especially when, again, compared to the superbly-made PlayStation Vita, The 3DS XL also sacrifices portability for size, so...

REVIEW: Nintendo 3DS XL
Despite a handful of missed opportunities, the 3DS XL is still the superior version of Nintendo's 3D-enabled handheld. It fits more comfortably in the hand, its 3D effect is more pronounced thanks the larger screens employed, battery life is improved and the whole unit is sturdier overall.
