My main concern is control. D-pad placement on the original 3DS was painful but I made do. XL's bigger screen is nice but I think I'd only miss it when playing VC/DS games in original resolution.I can't give up that XL screen size mang, pixel density be damned
It's metallic plastic, which I personally think looks really tacky. I hate it on the newer iPhones, for example.is the new XL matte?

I'm kinda tempted, but no, I think the big screen will win out over the smaller, cuter form factor.

Go check your math again, yo. It's notably shorter than 4.24". Remember, a 20% increase in area is a simple 10-ish % increase in the diagonal.They said the screen size of the new 3DS will be 1.2x current 3DS, meaning it will go to 4.24" diagonal, compared to the current XL size of 4.88", which isn't changing according to the dimensions.

A good chunk of those that DO know probably also want to wait too. How will the 3D safe zone compare between models? If there's no difference N3DS XL may be preferable. Else, regular N3DS may be nice to use, especially in this day and age of high DPI phones and tablets.People need to realize that the NEW 3DS screen isn't the same size as the OG 3DS screen. The system as a whole is larger too.
I doubt most people actual read this or know this though.

If this model is available in the west with the interchangeable covers, absolutely.
