I think I made this topic a little too early, but who cares! I made a little quiz that'll help you decide if you should buy a 3DS XL! http://quizilla.teen...ou-buy-a-3ds-xl I'm way too bored. *gets ready for criticism/boob jokes/tomatoes*

EDIT: Here's a better guide: http://www.nintendoworldreport.com/guide/30837

 

That survey tells me not to get one, and I didn't plan on it anyway.

 

Well... that didn't help at all.

 

Just interesting

 

Well for some of us getting older the big screen is a lot nicer. Also as with the DSI XL my hands don't seem to cramp up nearly as much as when I am holding the smaller unit. Also it is supposed to have better battery life not that i have ever had any problems with the existing 3DS.

 

This is such a pointless thread. If you want a big sexy screen, get a 3DS XL and if you want a more portable device with a worse battery life, get a regular 3DS. No need for a guide.

 

i like having the thing small enough to fit in my pocket, but i also like a bigger screen, i already have a 3ds
i dont why nintendo continues to make 1 retarded mistake after another. no 2nd analog stick? really? WTF were they thinking
more games with horrible control like KI uprising,cant wait , nintendo has dropped the ball big time , every thing they toch turns to shit lately, they need to fire some people over there, they need to do some serious restructuring ,that are getting senile ,all they do make awful descisions lately,

people who say that adding a 2nd analog would "fracture" the platform are retarded, NOT having one fractures it more cause if you have an old 3ds and a new game requires 2 analog you just buy a cpp 2nd analog, if you have an xl you cant use your cpp on the xl you have to wait for them to make a new one ,if you already have one then you have to buy another cpp for the xl so it will fit ,we alreay have an add on for the original and games that use it, there is NO reason not to put a 2nd analog in

nintendos mistakes just keep getting dumber and dumber

 

Why all the hate? If you don't like it, then don't buy it. I for onecan't wait.

 

No 2nd Circle pad and 1 hour more in battery life no thanks. I have my 3DS since launch and not jumping over for a bigger screen.

 

I see a lot of people saying the graphics are going to be worse on the XL. How can anyone know this for sure? If it is true, it would put me off buying a XL...
