This beauty has been revealed to the YouTubers invited by NOA to San Fransisco to play the beginning of Metroid: Samus Returns, releasing later this year.

Ugh, Nintendo has a knack for tempting me with something brand new when I have plans for another thing. In this case, wanting a New 2DS XL but then this drops, and I doubt I can get both in a short span of time.

I would strongly recommend you to get this, as it is a limited edition and is going to become like the Majora's one in the near future. It costs $200, and you have obviously the same features as the N2DSXL plus better camera placement and head-tracking 3D. I guess that now 95% of GBATemp shits on those two feature, especially the 3D, but the limited ediotion is still beautiful.

Oof. I just ordered a new 2ds xl today. Kind of tempted to cancel and wait for this thing.

Okay
Yes
But
Why
It's all about options.
I love the fact that there are many options. Remember the Wii U? There were only two console types...and obviously I know it's because it's a failed console, but it makes me appreciate consoles that sell well. It affords them the opportunity to issue many different special editions or customized versions of consoles. Personally, I don't usually buy them because I think a primary console has more universal appeal for resale probability.

It won't be long until this shell is on Alibaba for sale (just like the Zelda ones).

If you're ok with a screw driver and aren't clumsy - just get a secondhand N3DS XL and swap the shells!

    I use AKG K7XX headphones for daily use, but Meze 99 Classics when I want to *enjoy* the music

    I mean built in sound on mobo's has gotten way better but still XP handled sound better and X-Fi was still better than onboard audio even to this day
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Hell not sure what was going on but for like a few weeks MP3's sounded muffled, some driver or Windows update fixed it. Thank god lol
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    Oh boy Massdrop has $1100 IEMs. Want, but not at that price lmao. https://drop.com/buy/campfire-audio-andromeda-emerald-sea-iem
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    I'd sooner buy the Meze 109 Pro if I was dropping that much on headphones. I don't even like buds/IEMs
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    I got the Google Pixel Pro buds, they're good enough for when I need portable audio. And some really cheap IEMs that Dankpods recommends, I think the KZ ZSN Pro

  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    I'd stick with cheapo Chinese $10 ones quality is actually becoming on pair with name brand since name Brand usually quads the price up anyway loose one bud that's another $200
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    My Pixel Pro buds shit the bed a month or two ago. My wireless charger (which they do support Qi charging) absolutely COOKED them. Caused some problem that caused the case to heat up to 180F+
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    They were like 9 months out of warranty but I hit up Google support anyway and told them how hot they were getting and they replaced them with new ones because they wanted these for failure analysis lol
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    lol wireless charging
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Yeah that's why I can't bring myself to even spend $100 on wireless earbuds
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I think it's a cool idea but damn
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    Apparently the case has a problem with >15W wireless chargers. Google design fault, that one.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    I could live with wireless charging if the damn standard case doesn't block connection
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    how is wireless charging possible?

    you mean generally, how does the concept work?

  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Copper conducting electricity or something
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    @Xdqwerty, power through a coil of wire causes an electromagnetic field to be generated. Another coil of wire can be set up to harness the power from that electromagnetic field and turn it into usable energy for charging a device
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    Two good videos from ElectroBOOM that touch on the subject:
