No wayyy.. I have medium man hands and the new 3ds is actually right on the border of too big. I had an xl and hated it. Too big toooo heavy and low screen res. and I love faceplates

Funny how home consoles want to get slimmer but portables want to get bigger

That's cause home consoles are big and bulky (not even joking, have you seen an XBOX One in person?) While the 3DS is a bit on the smaller side, people want bigger screens (I'd love to connect my 3DS screen to a TV) and more space on the console itself for bigger hands.

Just a matter of what you get used to. My boys had their DSlites in Nerf cases and never complained, 3DS XL was in a Nerf case until a couple of weeks ago, iPhone in Otterbox no complaints. He even prefers the Gamepad on the WII U to the Pro Controllers. He was mad the other night when I made him share the Gamepad with his older brother during our MK 8 session. Bitched up a storm about that little thing.

One other thing, when we bought the WII u for Christmas we also pickup up a 48" TV for the gaming room. He much prefers to look at that Gamepad than the TV.

You east coasters that are buying at GameStop need to post the firmware right away.nsonus Midwesterners know what's up. My second one is ordered from best buy and inrefusedntompay the expedited shipping so I will have to wait a week on that one.

It looks to be 9.0 based off what we have seen, 9.2 is possible, 9.3+ seems impossible tbh. This puts us in range for a new exploit, even of its a browser one.

not only the size of the console that is too big & heavy like holding a small netbook in your hands but also the stretched image is horrible to me,it feels like i'm playing on outdated console from 2 generations ago. N3DS is just the perfect size for the resolution,games look so much nicer & sharper.

So i guess we are already waiting for a rumored "fusion DS"?)

There are guesses that they will use the new displays made by Sharp.

Netbook? What size netbook have you used? The XL is half or less then the size of a Netbook.

never understood people buying this bulky brick XL. N3ds screen is already perfect size for its resolution

because we don't want something with a smaller screen than our phones?

 

[VeryCrushed]

Lol also, next gen portables will use 1080p displays max in the next gen

 

[tony_2018]

Because thats all the US will see from here on out, until they decide to sell the limited editions of the LL. I'd like to keep it region specifically to where I live so if anything were to go wrong I have the option of returning it to the store for a replacement and not have to worry about paying shipping costs that will include tracking, insurance and signature proof to ensure that seller outside of my country gets it.

Why not? You're not buying a phone but whole system. With buttons and TWO screens. Next gen sure lets go one big screen.

I'd be happy with 720p

Exactly, there's a reason phablets are becoming so popular. People love the size more media consumption, something the 3DS was made for.

Freaking samsung making tablet phones now. Now thats a bit rediculously big for a phone. Better catch that bluetooth headset while you pick up your new phone.

Ewwww Samsung, I was especially thinking about the Nexus 6. A device which Google can't keep up with demand with. Touchwiz ruins so much.

Edit: also, Bluetooth headset? This is the age of smart watches lol

Umm...not if by law you are not allow to be on your handheld device while driving.......so what then.

Well then I'll need something with a bigger screen than a 3DS XL.

Personally? I have some nice earphones for answering calls while driving which have a mic on them. Work very well and effectively. Although the headset argument is invalid due to it applying to all sized phones, not just phablets.

I hate phablets. Took weak to play anything outside of micro-trans games. I'll take a good laptop over one any day

 

[guitarheroknight]

How much in size is the N3DS screen bigger than the classic one? Does the console sit better in the hands compared to the previous models?
