Hi everyone! I've been reading this forum now and then, but only now I've decided to create an account as I would like some advise. A few years ago I owned a 3DS, but not much later I decided to sell it. Now that I've started using my DSi quite a lot, I'm interested in buying a New 3DS as it has better 3D and a lot more interesting games than when I owned one.
So, it is decided that I want the new version, and I thought I had decided to go for the smaller version, but as the price difference is only about 20 euros between the regular and the XL, I started to have doubts. I've never owned an XL DS before, and although I really like big screens I'm looking for some answers to some questions I have before I can make up my mind.
First of all: is the glossiness of the XL very annoying? Or can it be wiped clean very easily? And does someone have experience which one shows finger prints less much: the blue or black XL?
Second: is there a big difference in screen resolution between the N3DS and the XL or does the bigger screen really make up for that?
And third: is the XL portable enough to prevent fatigue in the hands or does this not really differ from the normal version?
I'd really appreciate some opinions as the price difference doesn't really matter much, I'd just like the best possible experience when returning to 3DS gaming Thanks!
