Smoother, sleeker and more pleasing in the hands. Nintendo has done a good job of tweaking the Nintendo 3DS.
Pros:
  • Fits nicely in your hands
  • Visually more pleasing than the 3DS
  • Bigger screen offers a noticeable improvement
Cons:
  • Not compatible with Circle Pad Pro
  • Charger sold separately

When bigger is better

I didn't think I'd say this, but the 3DS XL has a lot more going for it than merely a larger screen. The larger body fits more comfortably in the hand, battery life is a lot better and the build quality feels a lot more solid than the original 3DS.
Pros:
  • Larger screen makes portable gaming way more comfortable than on the original 3DS
  • nice design and build quality
Cons:
  • Most 3DS casings and accessories will not fit the 3DS XL

The 3DS XL isn't readily available in stores yet in this country. Data Blitz has some units for sale, but they're the European version. Thankfully they include a free charger with the price, which isn't too far off from the listed overseas retail-P10,500.
Pros:
  • Great
  • big screens
  • Better
  • sturdier
  • more attractive case
  • Better designed and relocated buttons
  • Better stylus placement
  • and better stylus
  • Better battery life
Cons:
  • Still got underpowered cameras
  • Lousier
  • weaker speakers
  • Still no second analog stick

This 3ds xl is much better compared to the normal 3ds with a bigger screen and better 3d graphics. The upper part of the xl is kind of shaky and unstable but otherwise it is a good device compared to the normal 3ds.

Nintendo 3DS XL Review

For the second time since its North American release on March 27, the Nintendo 3DS will undergo a significant change. The first of these changes occurred just four months after its release and saw the price drop from $250 to $170, a move that attracted a wave of new adopters, but also brought heavy...

Nintendo 3DS XL review

It shouldn't come as a surprise to see Nintendo launch a new 3DS revision less than 18 months after the original console - after all, the company waited almost exactly the same length of time...

Great system design

I really love this system, I find myself playing more often now that the screens are so much bigger than the previous model. It comes with a larger memory card too so I can store more downloadable games and software. Playing games on this feels more like a console experience.

Nintendo 3DS XL review: bigger is better, but it's still not quite enough

After playing with the 3DS XL, we returned to the original only to find it difficult and awkward to use in comparison. The new size is an improvement in so many ways, including ergonomics and playability.
Pros:
  • Bigger screen improves the 3D effect significantly
  • Improved battery life under some conditions
  • More comfortable to hold and use
Cons:
  • Digital content still lacking
  • No secondary analog stick
  • Not the most powerful of handheld hardware

Really awesome!

I recently got this specific 3DS and I'm still amazed by it. The 3D is absolutely mind-boggling and while i wish the camera had more mega pixels, it's still fun to take pictures and video in 3D. The games also are really cool to play on it.
Pros:
  • Big Screens
  • Easy to learn
  • Fun To Play
  • Graphics
  • Kid Appropriate
  • Multiplayer
Cons:
  • Cameras Quality
  • Sound Should Be Louder
