3DS XL Announced

[salnaruto2]

I'm reading an article in which says that the NA version of the 3DS XL will have a AC adapter. Nice!

A bigger 3DS? Seriously? I think it looks good. But is it necessary?

You are right, I see the same information on other source:

It comes with a 4GB SD card too, up from the regular system's 2GB. In Japan and Europe it will not come with an AC adaptor or charging cradle; in North America, the 3DS XL will come with an AC adaptor.

Is there a chance that this revision will not have flashcard support..?

There is but it is very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very slim.

Yeah. This would require the XL to use different firmware (I think), which wouldn't make sense since it's pretty much the exact same thing minus the size.

Im sure ninety will think of some little update to sling out, just to make flash card users unable to do anything for a couple days. Just like apple and their "Minor updates to fw" To slow jail breakers

Of course. lol

Hmm.... If Nintendo decided to update the resolution to 1280x720, I would've gotten it. Ugh... I now see how desperate Nintendo is. I might get this if a 3DS hack doesn't come through since I have a JPN 3DS, it's expensive to import games from JPN :/.

Desperate, how?

Also the model code for the 3DS XL is "SPR", as oppose to the original model code "CTR"

i read that US will get a black and a red+black and red+blue???

And it was a week or so ago that there was news that "Nintendo will not make a new XL version of the console since it's already perfect?"..

Well this showed something that I was waiting for for quite a while. Hopefully they'll be going down in price sooner or later (or I'll sell my Zelda 3DS for a good price and buy the bigger one (if it has better parts in it))..

They had me until the no 2nd analog pad.

Chinese manufacturing lead times are about 3 months, so the 3dsxl is likely to get an old firmware that is flashcart compatible out-of-the-box.

Installing the OS is one of the last steps of manufacturing,
It can, and probably will be delayed!
Probably the XL version will come out in the same week of a firmware update!
XL will have the last version, while the normal 3DS will be updatable!

Nobody cares because we'll see a fix within weeks, if not days. The DS Sandbox has so many holes that it's a mirracle it still actually holds sand in itself.

At worst, EUR and JAP will get the current firmware which is DS flashcart compatible. There is a teensy-tiny chance NA will get a new firmware (if it comes out).

There was no special update for the DSiXL, and I expect this will be the same.

People like you make me sick, you really do. How can you call yourselves a gamer at all when people like you (and others on this site) bitch and say "yeah, im not buying it because there's no second analog". That is the dumbest reason ever not to buy a console. What a joke. The less there are of you in the world, the better.

Sorry if I'd expect the new model of a product to include new features they've added on to the product.
