3DS XL Announced

[heartgold]

The screens look sexy, playing games will probably look better. (not graphically) You know bigger images are always nice. But the model over-all looks like complete shit.

 

[CrimzonEyed]

The only thing that would make me buy this XL one was if all existing 3DS game's had a "high ress" DLC
Upscaled gba games and DS games, sure. But not 3DS graphic games...

 

[Maz7006]

Those who do not have a 3DS but intend to buy one can choose between the small and the XL.

^ what he said

I always wanted a 3DS, but needed a very good reason to buy one so late way in other than the Mario games - and now i have this reason

Not to mention, i like mine big ...

 

[nryn99]

i know i'm late but. HAHAHAHAHAHA.

but i think it does look nicer.

Dude... What thee hell is this?!? This looks like the generic 3DS crap that you see at the drugstore for 10 dollars. Oh, and how far do you have to look back? *yells to friend* Hey, can you hold this on the other side of the room so I can find the sweet-spot in the 3D! Oh, it's not even going to be portable. I bet it weighs a ton. Gosh, this just pisses me off. If there's a new 3DS, does that mean I get to be an ambassador? Because my 3DS is pretty much Obsolete now, except that I can take it places. Jeez, I just.... It really pisses me off when Nintendo does this sh*t...

Um... and HOW does this make your 3DS obsolete, if I may ask? The XL is an alternative for those who want larger screens, not an upgrade. Just like how the DSiXL was simply an "alternative" to the original DSi.

 

[Judas18]

Jesus that thing is beyond fugly.

 

[Ben_j]

slightly ? 8 hours to 10 hours is more than slightly better

Where did you get 8-10 hours? That's for DS games, not 3DS games.

Right, sorry. Still, it's more than slightly

 

[TripleSMoon]

Right, sorry. Still, it's more than slightly

Half an hour to an hour more is "more than slightly"?

So many people are saying how ugly it is, why is that important? Looking back over the consoles and handhelds I've owned over the last 25+ years I would have to say most of them weren't particularly attractive objects, probably the GBA SP and Micro and the PSP would be the only ones I'd consider mildly aesthetically pleasing, and that's just a personal opinion. Doesn't really make any difference when you're staring at the screen though, does it?

I bought a DSi XL on launch day and have hardly touched my DS Phat since, people who say the bigger handhelds are not portable have obviously never held an original Gameboy, that thing was huge and heavy, but it didn't stop people taking them everywhere.

 

[trigao]

i thought which next 3ds would have 2 analog

sad =/

 

[emigre]

...And no second analog stick.

Have fun rebuying a Circle Pad Pro that's even larger than that previous monstrosity.

Are you saying the tumor will grow?

I'm thinking it's terminal, doctor.

Also I'm still going to revel in my glorious 5 inch Vita screen. Felt like I'd bring that up so I can sick my flying monkeys on this thread.

Guild is laying his trollbait. This thread gonna b good.

 

[finkmac]

What is this, I don't even...

It's a 3DS... with a larger screen...

The thing looks ugly as it is...

But in all seriousness, I'm a "go big or go home" kinda guy. I'm getting kinda sick of the trend of small electronics. That being said, I don't exactly think this revision is all that great, no second analog is a serious dealbreaker.

Dual analog? Why you need this? They replace this with dual ugliness!!!

 

[insidexdeath]

No thanks. This offers nothing new over my current 3DS other than having a bigger screen.

 

[jonesman99]

I always wanted the DSi XL but since I foolishly spent my money on a DSi a few months before this was released I didn't get it. But now that I have a new job and a LOT of money coming in, I will invest my money into this one... I knew that it was just a matter of time though.

 

[Fishaman P]

Is Nintendo so stupid that they forgot the Circle Pad Pro?!
