Hello GBAtemp! I know, this isn't my usual question or rant or whatever else i post on the forums. But, I just wanted to explain a few things about why I won't want a 3DS XL. No offence to anyone who is buying or have bought one.
I'm sorry that I can't get a smaller image, but Google wasn't giving me much luck. This is just a size and looks comparison.
- At first, I thought it was all a rumor. This was because the system looked way too smooth to be a real Nintendo 3DS. Also, my first impressions on the photos was that they were all photo shopped. This was until I saw a display box of a 3DS XL at my local EB Games shop.

- I can't play my games well enough on a controller that doesn't let my left and right hands touch each other while I use my two fingers to play the game.
- I feel way too happy with my current system. No design flaws. No system software, SD card software or Nintendo DS/3DS card software problems besides an occasional crash while I look at photos of my friends.
- It looks a bit too close to a DSi XL. I'm not a big fan of the DSi XL, especially since it's like the 3DS XL. Just an extra large version of it's original system. No improvements.
- Old DS games might be all pixelated and blurry. I don't mind this on a Nintendo 3DS, but the XL might cause problems.
- Like the GBA Micro (GameBoy Micro) It could just be a thing for Nintendo to try and get more money before their console dies and they have to think of and make something new!
- I just don't like wide screen's on a system that is designed to be portable. My current 3DS can fit in my pockets easily. An XL could break my pockets!
- It just isn't a nice idea to me!
