New 3DS XL2ds xl or 3ds xl...
I broke my screws off along time agoNew 3DS XL.
The stereoscopic 3D makes games that use it really pop - without it, those games look lifeless, dull, and flat. I fail to see any reason to even consider a 2DS, since it lacks such a fundamental feature and the 3D could just be disabled anyway on the 3DS line.
The only benefit the New 2DS XL offers is easier access to the microSD card, since on this inferior model it's located on the side, whereas the New 3DS XL has it underneath the back plate, next to the battery, and thus requires a screwdriver to access.
as someone who's only 3ds is an n3ds, i think its way too small, could work for you if you have small hands, but i wish i could have afforded an n3dsxl
No to New 2DS XL the build quality is subpar leading to easily breaking the top screen that's why New 3DS XL is recommended and that's why there is the 3D slider is for2ds xl. The 3D gives me a headache.
My New 2DS XL has held up pretty admirably. My New 3DS has a bad NAND chip forcing me to use emuNAND. Even worse is that now the device has developed an odd issue where when you close the lid, the speaker pops loudly and the thing shuts off. I think its time to transfer all of my homebrew to the 2ds and retire the 3ds.No to New 2DS XL the build quality is subpar leading to easily breaking the top screen that's why New 3DS XL is recommended and that's why there is the 3D slider is for
Sounds like the ribbion cables are just loosely disconnecting when the system is closed. Those ribbons are a pain to get changed.My New 2DS XL has held up pretty admirably.

Yes. I agree. The difficulty of fixing it and the NAND chip that has failed has simply led me to decide the thing isn't worth fixing. Which is a shame because I took care of it and have like 8 extra faceplates for it. Even worse is that it seems to happen randomly. Close it softly? POP! Slam it closed? Not this time. Slam it closed 5 minutes later? POP!Sounds like the ribbion cables are just loosely disconnecting when the system is closed. Those ribbons are a pain to get changed.

Appreciate it. However, my console also the one with a dead NAND chip. I figure fixing the thing will cost about the same as replacing it with a similar model and I still have a 2DS XL I can play on.Official Nintendo refurbished systems.
The upper lcd, speaker assembly, and camera flex cables are prone to breaking due to hinge stress. Continual popping can lead to eventual shorting/killing the n3DS motherboard. This 3DS repair specialist might take up an offer fixing yours.

Hold onto those and pass them down to your grandkids as an inheritance. Those will become collectors items some day that'll be worth lots of money. Oh, when you do put the n3DS away for long term storage, be sure to remove the battery as it'll bloat over time.Appreciate it. However, my console also the one with a dead NAND chip.

All in all its had a good run. I'll toss it in the memories box next to my DS, GBA, Game Gear, and PSP that are also broken.
I keep all of my consoles. I'm an old fat cat. I used to work for Magnavox home and helped build the original Magnavox Odyssey 2. These consoles could be fixed and I could probably fix them myself, but my eyesight isn't what it used to be and my paws aren't quite as steady as they used to be for these micro toys.Hold onto those and pass them down to your grandkids as an inheritance.

Even though it's broken, there's value in your n3DS because it's the rarest model within the 3DS family. Some people throw away their broken systems without second thought. This is a shame for those who wish to wish to preserve theirs by buying others' broken ones andharvesting their precious organsreusing those for spare parts.
