Nintendo 3DS XL

This was bought for my nephew who had a DSi XL, but it's buttons quit working. So, we bought this one as a replacement with the warranty money we got back from Walmart. It's a nice large size with great graphics and he loves the switch on the side to change the view from 3D to regular.

New Nintendo 3DS XL - Stop gaming on your smartphone

The original 3DS launch didn't quite go to plan. Initial sales were disappointing, but after cutting the handheld's price and releasing an XL model, Nintendo were able to turn their latest handheld's fortunes around.

Nintendo's New 3DS XL has more in common with existing 3DS systems than it might want to admit, but it's still a solid upgrade option for older 3DS owners. It's been a while since I'd laid down any cash on a new Nintendo portable.

Not New, but Definitely Improved

New Nintendo 3DS XL review

At least Nintendo’s honest. The “New Nintendo 3DS XL” name isn’t flashy. Nor does it stick in your head like Wii and Wii U. But it’s direct, and to the point: This 3DS is most definitely new, sporting features that haven’t existed on earlier models of the handheld. But does it offer enough to justify plunking down another $200 for one? Let’s consider. The improved 3D is a big positive. Nintendo launched the OG 3DS in 2011 on a wave of “glasses-free 3D” hype.
