[MoogPaul]

Kinda want... No dock and no word of a circle pad pro xl worries me. I'll rock OG til more of these things get answers. And yes, I really do enjoy the dock for the original.

[Dennis]

How much?

[Slayer-33]

That's a fucking huge screen.

[Wolfe]

Actually it's probably his eyes more than it is his opinion.

I meant the part about it not working well, regardless of if it's his eyes causing him to feel that way about it, it does in fact work fine for the most part.

[H3xum]

How much?

$199

Still conflicted whether to get this or the original.

I doubt the MSRP will change on the 3DS since it took since a big price drop already. Maybe mad bundles tho

[dyergram]

It will be mine.

[Celine]

How much?

199$/EUR (but no charger in Yurop)

[lunch]

Is the screen any brighter? Each time I turn on my 3DS I try turning up the brightness only to find that it's already at maximum.

[FatCat]

Was on the edge for this, now its a day 1 purchase.
Those huge screens seem to make a world of difference, waiting for more impressions.

[Truth101]

How much?

$199.99

[Empowe]

Still conflicted whether to get this or the original.

If I hadn't bought the original 3DS, it'd be no contest. The XL for sure.

[marc^o^]

That's a fucking huge screen.

And there are two of them. It's almost as big as a tablet as a whole.

[Rad-]

I'll buy one if Bravely Default turns up ok.

[LiK]

can we please stop doing this to these threads

no, cuz i wanna play RE Revelations on dat new screen with it.

[JakkuFurosu]

If you're here in the UK/Europe, then yes you will get the silver model. If you're in the USA, it's red or blue.

:( US

Ill be damned if im going to import a regionlocked device.
Guess ill hold off for awhile.
I really like all the improvements im reading as a few of them were issues for me. The only real issue I have that hasnt been mentioned is that craptastic D-pad

[massoluk]

I'm so conflicted now. I don't want to sacrifice my 10+ hours battery life on my 3DS+Nyko Grip, but this preview is hitting all the right spot.

[Hieberrr]

My 2nd 3DS might be an XL. HOLY CRAP!

[codhand]

- 3DS games will gain new life from the XL. ? Huh,.?

[Kaizer]

Yep, I'm getting this.

.

[Dennis]

199$/EUR (but no charger in Yurop)

Thats not so bad.

Is the charger some proprietary Nintendo thing or will a regular one do?

[The Boat]

I'm gonna wait a while to see if any special edition comes out, even if it's unlikely (in Europe), but damn that think looks sexy!

[keltickennedy]

So they made it bigger, but still never thought to throw on a second analog stick on there. "So sorry, you will have to buy the add-on to get that".


Fuck off Nintendo.

[Celine]

no, cuz i wanna play RE Revelations on dat new screen with it.

I refuse to play RER with the frankenstick.
Tank controls for the win.

[shinobi602]

If I hadn't bought the original 3DS, it'd be no contest. The XL for sure.

Yea, but I'm a little worried since they're keeping the same resolution but increasing the screen size. Wouldn't some pixelation be an issue? If getting the optimum visual clarity means a smaller screen, I'd rather go with that.

[WonkyPanda]

Thats not so bad. Is the charger some proprietary Nintendo thing or will a regular one do?

proprietary.

[PaulLFC]

Shame there's no all-black or white & black version (at least, not in the UK by the looks of it). Silver is the best of the 3 colour options but personally I think they're all a bit disappointing.

[shira]

So they are announcing their movie service soon amirite

Avatar 3D first available on 3DS. . .

[Neuromancer]

Thats not so bad. Is the charger some proprietary Nintendo thing or will a regular one do?

You can buy cheap DSi/3DS chargers almost anywhere for pretty cheap. They are a unique shape though.

[Wolfe]

- 3DS games will gain new life from the XL. ? Huh,.?

Along with looking rad, it adds new levels to all your current games!

[weird]

Oh crap. I bought a 3DS last week but decided against returning it after the initial reveal because I like the current versions size but wow thats sexy Now I'm not so sure...

one week? Can't you return it?

[LiK]

I refuse to play RER with the frankenstick. Tank controls for the win.

ewwwww

[Ninman]

Might get this on the holidays and buy more games, instead of the Wii U...

[Orin GA]

Thats not so bad. Is the charger some proprietary Nintendo thing or will a regular one do?

No, there are cheap 3rd party models for as low as $4 or if youve ever owned a DS-i/XL you can use that one.

[Burnburn]

It looks really good. Didn't expect it to look this good. But I'm holding off until I can experience it hands-on.

[Pazuzu9]

Yea, but I'm a little worried since they're keeping the same resolution but increasing the screen size. Wouldn't some pixelation be an issue? If getting the optimum visual clarity means a smaller screen, I'd rather go with that.

Do you have a problem with large HDTVs? I'd say it's the same non-issue.

[Celine]

Thats not so bad. Is the charger some proprietary Nintendo thing or will a regular one do?

The one for the DSi,DSiXL or 3DS should do the job, if you have any of those already.

[ponpo]

Those photos do look nice, but stil unfortunate about that size and resolution. Hence the "filter" I guess

[Shig]

I'll buy it when NOA decides to let us have some non-Fisher Price color options.

[EloquentM]

Kinda want... No dock and no word of a circle pad pro xl worries me. I'll rock OG til more of these things get answers. And yes, I really do enjoy the dock for the original.

[Hylian7]

I think I'm one of the only three people that didn't have a beef with the original unit. I don't see the point in dropping $200 on this if I was comfortable with it. Maybe when it has it's eventual bomba years down the road I'll do it just for the sake of having a second 3DS.

Don't get me wrong, the XL looks nice and everything, but I just don't think it's quite the jump GBA --> GBASP or DS --> DSLite was.

Also, I'm extremely curious to see the monster of a Circle Pad Pro for this thing.

[dancrane212]

That looks really nice, hopefully NA will get the Silver one before too long.

[orioto]

My 3ds is fucked up with a large scar on the top screen so i might buy this one after all.

[TerryWogan]

SOLD!

[cosmicblizzard]

So they made it bigger, but still never thought to throw on a second analog stick on there. "So sorry, you will have to buy the add-on to get that". Fuck off Nintendo.

I don't think the add-on even works with the XL. The 2nd slide pad was never an important feature.

[grimshawish]

So they made it bigger, but still never thought to throw on a second analog stick on there. "So sorry, you will have to buy the add-on to get that". Fuck off Nintendo.

Discussion has been had and can still be had, but this isn't the place for all that. If you see a preview which explains why Super Mario 3D Land is suddenly unworkable on the bigger system without the second analogue, do contribute...

[SteeloDMZ]

I'm so getting this, it looks fucking awesome.

[Danielsan]

The screensize is awesome. I just really wish it didn't look so cheap. Horrendous looking device.

[lunchwithyuzo]

because they might divide the user base, anyways I am buying this one later this year

Not having one actually divides the userbase*.


Until Circle Pad Pro XL is announced for release with Monster Hunter 4 in Japan this holiday.

[Dennis]

All set with my DS charger.

[corrosivefrost]

Looks nice.
Still want a second circle pad.
