Hardware 3DS XL Details + Video

[Toni Plutonij]

I like this a lot, I love my DSi XL more then I thought I would, so this will be a must for me, eventually!

It's too bad North America gets crap colors, else I'd get one ASAP. Maybe a few months down the line silver will come out...

Or, even better (the best!), white.

All things point to me wanting one, only things possibly stopping me are:

- Price after trading in my 3DS, really don't want to be spending much on the upgrade.
- How games look on the larger screens, this is something where i'm going to need to try a 3DS XL before buying one.

EDIT: annnnd, Circle Pad Pro... clearly the current one won't work on the XL, and although I don't have one yet, i may want it for KH 3DS

AN ANTI-ALIASING FILTER?!?!? I definitely and gonna do some more research on this cuz it all sounds somewhat fishy...

 

[BORTZ]

Video!

Spoiler: Images

New preview:
http://www.bamarenlive.com/2012/06/test-nintendo-3ds-xl.html

- the screen looks good, very good
- while the image looked worse on a DSiXL than on a DSi, it's not the case here. 3DSXL pixels look as defined as on 3DS.
- the screen seems very luminous
- 3D effect is more comfortable and more immediate
- the analog stick is more convenient to use, no need to bend your thumb anymore

He could be lying. I'm sick of unofficial statements, if I see official statements claiming this, then I'll take this seriously.

Why the hell would a news site not related to Nintendo lie about this? And before you claim a bias, they did raise a negative (speaker volume)

video doesn't work in chrome, but i am impressed with the fact that the 3d effect viewing range has been improved, it was very poor on the 3ds and you had to be in one place all the time, i hope the 3d effect is more slack on the xl.

please find a link on youtube, video doesn't work.

I'm pretty sure NA gets white.

I found it weird because we didn't get the white 3DS. I thought they said that at Nintendo Direct.

I was literally about to import a European 3DS since they get everything before us, and now most games will be on the eShop. I might as well get the XL. I just have to find a place that doesn't charge a million dollars to ship here.

No, we get red and blue because NOA seems to think that we only want colours that appeal to kids.

I want DSi XL launch colours (sexy brown) and even the white 3DS they showed.

 

[jalaneme]

Wow "although I really hope the volume is boosted.

the volume on the normal 3ds is loud enough, it doesn't really need to be louder, maybe better speaker placement or something?

Did they fix the floppy-ass hinge?

do you really think it's worth it importing a EU 3ds xl? we don't get all games first and our games are much more expensive too, good luck i guess, it would be so much easier if the 3ds was made region free, people wouldn't have to waste money like this anymore.

 

[Kiaku]

Omg the top screen is so thin and more matte-finishes! I'm feeling very tempted right now...

 

[jalaneme]

who knows, i hope so, that is the only fault i have with the dsi xl.

 

[Hanafuda]

I am tempted after the "better 3D" part.... But I am short on money and I don't think I want to buy another device so soon. Gonna focus on games!

Same thinking here. I could buy one, but I wouldn't be able to buy any new games this fall to play on it.

If you pay attention to the video, you can see they've retained the IR port. So the fading hopes of a CPPxL aren't completely extinguished.

I really want to know if DS Games look better on this 3DS XL...

Really? Only thing I see someone adding to it is a Ir controller, rather than a attachment.
