3DS XL Announced

[Shin Akuma]

you all are acting like this wasnt inevitable of course there was gonna be a revision and of course they werent gonna add a second circle pad anyone expecting otherwise is delusional

Actually, adding a second circle pad would have been a logical reason to make the revision. I find the 3DS too small for my hands, however I don't like having to buy the Circle Pad Pro just to play a game or two on a still too small device, which by the way I have to buy the Nyko Power Pack Pro if I want to keep the extended battery life and use the Circle Pad Pro, which just came out and I can't find it.

they didnt realeased it yet.This fall will be available i think http://nyko.com/products/product-detail/?name=Power+Grip+Pro

Why would I want to buy more add on's for a system with tiny screens? It's not the grip that's the problem, it's that it's so bloody small my hands hold it in an uncomfortable way that causes pain in my wrists. I'd rather just have the XL with the second circle pad so that way I can get larger screens which are easier to see and not have to buy another damn battery.

Iono about you guys but I'd rather get the 3DS XL cause' after getting the DSi XL, I've gotten used to having a bigger screen. I played my friend's DSlite and I just noticed how small it is.

Any news if it will continue to be region lock or will it be region free?

Only like 2 games really use it. And those 2 games can be played without it

I suppose that may be true for now but if they had included it, more games which really use it may be developed. Your argument is like saying that you can play without the backlight or headphone jacks and therefore they can be removed. Just sayin'

I don't get the comparison. Headphones and Backlight are used by all games

Yes but as you said, you can play without it.

Yes we already struggle to to work and now new shit?i thought they said they would never make new models with this
This is easy,what the shit.And i bought it this xmas understand the frustration..And im satisfied with this shit they make
Look at the buttons.is it gonna be like 3DS or like lite?No second pad?what the fack lol.
4GB sd? lol i get 16GB with 15 euro.The resolution is gonna be the same i suppose...Nothing to improve on Specs?
lol then fack you ninty.About the touchsceen prob with the upper scren i solved this with a piece of plastic.like the case it came with?that flexible plastic thingy.No scratch at all

you probably should cool down dude...

I don't really get the "frustration" thing... you got your 3DS, it works, you should be happy. The whole thing about Nintendo lying is... ridiculous. Since when do you consider a major company as you would consider your friends or relatives? I mean, I hate to be the one to break the news, but Nintendo only want's to make money, cause that's what a business is all about. So what the fuck is it about bouhou Nintendo lied??!! If you guys think they're your buddies your either 12 years old or retarded.

"Yes we already struggle to to work and now new shit" ?!??!!!??? Are you seriously putting the terrible situation of your country on an equal balance with the launch of a video handled??? Are you crazy? Are you stupid??? You sound like some spoiled kid who repeats what he hears around him without even understanding. If you were able to buy a 3DS for Christmas you should be ok.

It's been a long time since someone shocked me on a forum. Kudos!

Its not that.Some ppl suffer to gather up money due to the difficulties of their country.I got mine from ebay this xmas cause that the only days that work really flourish in my country(easter too).So if you were in my case (a nintendo handheld lover;p) and with hard earned work money maybe you could understand better.Dont get me wrong everyone in here might have rl problems but its a bit worse i think in my country AND i was more pissed that there was no 2nd pad than getting it.

I never said Ninty is our friends.Its a company and a company is called company cause it sells and creates new products.Everything in this worls comes around this right? so get out from that group.

Maybe my expression from my frustration was different from what i really wanted to mean

Well that's your fault that you bought the 3DS at Xmas considering there were rumors for the longest time of a revision coming. Not to mention, even if there weren't any rumors, anybody who is a nintendo handheld lover would look at Nintendo's past and see that they always make a revision.

Correct

BUT here we had nintendo OFFICIALY denying any rumor for a revision a year now..

Again, every company does it. Hell, even Sony did it with the PSP Go, and guess what they said at E3? "And now, probably the worst kept secret in history....".

Yes but as you said, you can play without it.

Both are used by ALL games and not just for the games. The circle pad pro its just used by 2 games.

OK truth to be told, we can both put out relevant points and none of us will actually back down from our beliefs. To each his own.

Either way, I am hoping that when you mentioned 2, you didn't mean it literally because I can already name quite a few (some of which have not been released). And of course, it would be nice for left-handed players. Pretty sure if Ninty tried hard enough, we could get a patch which enables the CPP to be used for older games but what do I know. I'm no Ninty engineer. :\

 

[retKHAAAN]

nice for left handed players? I'm embarrassed for my fellow lefties... Man up and learn how to use your damn hands...

 

[porkiewpyne]

handy for left handed players? I'm embarrassed for my fellow lefties... Man up and learn how to use your damn hands...

I'm right handed thank you very much. Just what I've heard from other people. O___o

I see... So you're one of those people who "hears things from other people"...

 

[porkiewpyne]

I admit my phrasing was bad, such that it implied that I want a 2nd analog stick for the purpose of making it easier for left-handed people. And for that I apologise. But I do believe that my other points do hold some water no? Though tbh, my reasoning for wanting the 2nd analog stick is far far far worse. DX

 

[giavol]

no secondary analog stick i will skip this revision.

 

[Hanks6]

looks good i want one for the the larger screen and the fact it should be comfortable without extra grips. i'll need to try it out to determine that, see how much better the 3d looks and also if the jaggies are more annoying.

but i can wait until the price becomes more flexible and try and find a good buyer for my OG 3ds & accessories. i also plan to pick up a gb micro so i have something tiny for true portability, as well as the monstrous XL
