My N3DS XL does that as well as both my other 3DS XL's.
Also as a side note, I never noticed that the headphone slot was on the bottom left corner on the old XL's, always thought they were in the middle.

I've had original/xl/new xl. The original first 3DS (at least mine) had a SHIT AWFUL loose d-pad (really really really bad.) FLOATY-ass button, stuck to your thumb, I would consider it a disgrace from Nintendo. I can't believe they still manufacturer that trash.

The New 3DS XL (at least mine) there is a little "play" in the d-pad, but I would consider it very similar and on par with dsi xl d-pad. I can't really tell in your video if it greatly differs from what mine looks like, but there is always a chance you have a different build (I can cite numerous unfortunate inconsistencies with Nintendo devices.)

DSi XL had a clicky/mushy d-pad, it has a steeper "apex" than the GBA SP, so you need to put more movement in "rocking" the pad around. The GBA SP model has very "shallow" buttons rather than "mushy" style like SNES/GC/original GBA. So the GBA SP is much more sensitive that way, it boils down to personal preference

original XL (at least mine) had a much improved d-pad, but still way more floaty than I would like. The New XL greatly improves this, and personally I'm fine with the New XL d-pad entirely.

To keep going with the comparisons to classic d-pads, I compared the feel of the original NES d-pad, and the difference in play is the NES d-pad tends to "slide" (like the motion of the circle pad) instead of "rock" around and float, memories of a great controller but painful thumbs.

the GC d-pad is really tight, I wonder what the NES and GC pads would still be as responsive if the corners/edges were smoothed down for comfort; would there be a major tactical and tactile sacrifice?

  • Vetusomaru @ Vetusomaru:
    even at "uncensored" home releases they still show no nipples with few, rare exceptions
  • Skelletonike @ Skelletonike:
    It makes it seem cool, that's why smoking

    comercials were banned here in the 90s.
  • Vetusomaru @ Vetusomaru:
    even ecchi manga dont show nipples nowadays
  • Skelletonike @ Skelletonike:
    I'm reading several that do atm. x'D
  • Vetusomaru @ Vetusomaru:
    even it looks cool, i still hate smoking and i always hated smoking
  • Skelletonike @ Skelletonike:
    They're seinen though.
  • Skelletonike @ Skelletonike:
    But yeah, it also has to do with the fact that stuff are more sexualised

    now
  • Vetusomaru @ Vetusomaru:
    even at seinen i am reading, the only one that shows nipples sometimes is Oversized Sextet
  • Skelletonike @ Skelletonike:
    Like, Urusei Yatsura, I love the manga and the original anime.
  • Skelletonike @ Skelletonike:
    In the original rumiko takahashi works, nudity was common
  • Vetusomaru @ Vetusomaru:
    i still havent read the manga. also surprisinly i like both the new and the old anime adaption.
  • Skelletonike @ Skelletonike:
    Lum being topless and Ranma always topless when turning female wasn't sexual
  • Vetusomaru @ Vetusomaru:
    also the old anime adaption of Urusei Yatsura had more fanservice than the manga
  • Skelletonike @ Skelletonike:
    That's one of the issues I have with ecchi stuff recently, it focuses too much on the sexual aspect, not the comedy effect.
  • Skelletonike @ Skelletonike:
    The manga had it's fair share.
  • Skelletonike @ Skelletonike:
    I mean, Lum was supposed to be a one time character
  • Vetusomaru @ Vetusomaru:
    ecchi anime focusing too much at fanservice was always a thing
  • Skelletonike @ Skelletonike:
    Rumiko Takahashi got so much fan email about the character that she brought her back in the manga, it was going to be completely different originally (with the alien of the week type).
  • Vetusomaru @ Vetusomaru:
    also i m a takahashi fan and i love ranma
  • Skelletonike @ Skelletonike:
    There are different ways of fanservice
  • Skelletonike @ Skelletonike:
    the first manga I bought, was Psychic Academy, when I was like 12?
  • Skelletonike @ Skelletonike:
    That was good 2000s ecchi
  • Skelletonike @ Skelletonike:
    Great plot too
  • Vetusomaru @ Vetusomaru:

    Vetusomaru @ Vetusomaru: yikes. psychic academy. it was trash even back then when i bought volume 1. also same author...
