Again, another shitty 3DS color variant while NOA still refuses to release an all Black or White model.
NOA has obviously locked in on it's target market.

Fuck yes. Hope there are new ones left by the time X and Y come out so I can pick them all up at the same time...
99.99% chance they won't be
Pick it up now. Get Luigi's Mansion 2. Get Super Mario 3D Land (promotion). Win at life.

Will this be limited or can I wait for a sale?

Well it's easy to dismiss a non-existant all-white market.NOA has obviously locked in on it's target market.
Guarantee it'll be limited. At most, it'll make a return when X and Y come out.

Nah, expect two new limited editions for the X & Y launch.

This gives me hope that NA will get the Animal Crossing Pop-tart 3DS XL.
Limited.
Since the FE & Pikachu systems have come, I'm pretty sure the Animal Crossing 3DS XL is going to come. I hope so, as it's my most anticipated system in a long time.

First game had some stupid hard ones. Reset levels to level 1 and 99 floors? BTW a boss at the end and you can't bring any items.
lolololol.
Fuck that game! >.<

lol. Yeah same. I dunno how this looks better than the red or blue. The black combined with those looks nice. And I personally like black bezels. Less noticeable when playing games.

As a Blue XL owner and a Blue Pokemon player, I feel like I have to have this now. I guess Ebay is where I can get it?
EDIT: Etsy seem to have a ton of them. Nice.

You must share your secrets.
Any reason why? The XL is better than the Normal one on everything. Battery life, 3D ect. The size only?
I doubt they will go back to the normal 3DS.

If only this makes it over
If I'm playing that in public it will look like a dragon is trying to bite my penis.

NoA sales numbers and focus testing.
The screens. They aren't better.
Yup. They have a yellow tinted top screen like the newer OG 3DS units, and the 3D on the XL is worse with banding (or is it warping) even when in the sweet spot.
Everything else is better about the 3DS XL though apart from aesthetics (mainly the lack of good colours)

Was the first batch of XL units also like that?

I really want the Charizard 3ds. I think the pikachu 3ds would look better if it was all yellow.
Still waiting for my orange 3ds.

That concerns me less than the resolution. Many don't seem to mind and prefer having the larger screens, and that is fine, but I noticed it straight away using it (in isolation, without an original to compare to).
Then had the chance to use both side by side and the difference became more apparent. If Nintendo discontinued the original 3DS and the XL was the only version, then I'd get the XL, but at the moment I don't want to buy an XL whilst the original smaller 3DS still exists, because I much prefer the screens on that.
Wow blastoise all day everyday. I don't know if I should pick up pikachu xl with Luigi's mansion and free game

Oh wow. I'm totally buying one of those.
Considering I own a launch XL, yes. The 3D is worse and there is a tinted top screen (only when 3D is off). My launch OG 3DS is pretty much perfect (both white screens and wonderful 3D). On the XL I have to decide between much worse 3D and a yellow tint, and since the yellow tint doesn't actively ruin the enjoyment of the game I usually just turn off the 3D.

That is hideous.
Still waiting for a decent color.

I also have a regular launch 3DS and both screens are even and white - however turning on the power save feature makes both screens look more yellowish/warmer and washed-out.
That's the same situation for me on my normal 3DS. The XL top screen is always yellow however, and both the screens turn gross yellow with power saver on so I just leave it off.

Well, I've been waiting for an XL that looks decent and I do love Pikachu but something about this turns me off. I can always sell it if I get sick of it though.

I have a problem. When I made the move from original 3DS to XL I lost my saved data on my digital games.(My pushmo and New Super mario save didn't move) I transfered my SD and did that pikmin 3DS tansfer. IS there a way to get all of that information moved from XL to XL? . I put around 40 hours into Fire Emblem and I can't lose that save.
