3DS XL Announced

[MelodieOctavia]

That console looks like complete ass. I hope that's just the prototype.

Y'know what gets me...?
"Slightly improved battery."
Are you fucking kidding me? Some thing 90% larger, and yet, only SLIGHTLY INCREASED BATTERY?

I laughed.

EDIT: Enjoy your 3DSiLLXL Lite.

Who are you talking to?
And it's quite obviously not a 3DSi, or a 3DS Lite, and LL and XL are the same thing so your exaggerated exentions kinda fall flat.

This is just the XL version of the 3DS. One which will satisfy people who were fans of the DSi XL, or people with larger hands.
If you don't want it, don't buy it.
I don't see how this reflects badly on Nintendo at all. If you were an early adopter and you wanted the XL, then you have a choice, simple.

This is the exact situation that arises when buying computer hardware, especially graphics cards. You buy one, then 3 months later a far superior version appears. That's life.

That's cute kid, but it hasn't been officially announced in the West yet, so it's currently the 3DSLL as far as we know.

I'm guessing it means slightly improved battery-life, as opposed to slightly improved battery?

 

[KingVamp]

Meh, i got my 250$ worth out of my 3DS. I expected a revision, just not this soon

 

[granville]

August 19th US release at $199.

 

[Gaiaknight]

[Sheimi]

Meh, I am good with my 3DS right now. Can't they make a different design than that? No second slider :/

 

[kenjixx]

I think that's the final product. Unfortunately.

It's called a joke. Ever hear about it?

The thing is, with consoles, a revision shouldn't come out only a year after it was released. Especially after they had repeatedly told us they had no plans to work on a revision anyways.

HA! IT'S ANNOUNCED FOR US!

 

[Gahars]

I know someone else asked this before, but it bears repeating: why wait until E3 is long over to announce this?

 

[dgwillia]

Meh, i think i could handle paying 199$ for it. Though, sucks that you have to have both consoles in hand to do the 3DS transfer

 

[Foxi4]

Muahaha! So much for Nintendo SWEARING that there is no revision in the works. What a joke.

That, and the top screen looks disgusting. I can understand that they're stylizing this like the WiiU controller, but it looks absolutely dreadful.

That's what I mean. Something that big, and yet the battery life will be only slight improved...
Preposterous.

 

[Vampire Lied]

There better be some type of barrier around the top screen or that smearing that happens when you close the system will really be worrisome. That little border should've been on top. Having it on the bottom screen is stupid. If the battery is only slightly better compared to original 3ds, that means battery life will actually be equal to or maybe even less with the larger screens etc.
They could learn some things from 3rd party accessories. Wonder if this one will be $250 and offer an ambassador xl program. Lolz

 

[bradzx]

that 3ds large almost same Wii U size.
