Nintendo Announces 3DS XL
- Thread starter Jeremy Wilkinson
- Start date
Let's all stop giving Nintendo money. Maybe if we starve them long enough they'll do something original and right the first time, instead of rehashing the same few IP over and upgrading their hardware whenever sales slow.

I'm interested. Only issue I have is if I'll be able to move over my games from my current 3DS over to this one, especially all the games from the ambassador program.
Honestly? I was waiting for this. I didn't buy a 3DS straight out because of the lack of the titles I was looking for (Legend of Zelda among other, mainly N64 remakes to be honest) but now most of those are out, and I have some extra cash laying around so fuck me I'm gonna buy a 3DS XL, specially since Nintendo seems to be making a Majora's Mask for the 3DS too, I'm so happy about that stuff.
You're kidding, right? Please tell me I'm not getting that. It comes with no AC adapter? With no charger?! What the flying blob, Nintendo? That is the most retarded thing I have heard a console do. And believe me, after the PSP Go, I didn't think someone would top that. Congrats Nintendo. You've outdone yourself.BiH-Kira said:
OT: I'm still not interested in getting one. I still don't have a list of games big enough to make me wanna get a 3DS. let's see, maybe Kid Icarus and Kingdom Hearts 3D. And Mario. The other good games have already been released for my 64, which I still have. So no, thanks.
Now, let me sit back and wait for the PS Vita Slim version.
i just don't get it, these things have been around for fucking ages...DVS BSTrD said:ThePS1Fan said:I have to agree with the person who made this picture. It only makes sense.

I'm tempted to get a vita just in spite of the 3DS's horrible design. (not saying the vita is leaps and bounds better, but christ, 2 joysticks at least are on it)
Ok, whats with this ?
You won't have to wait long to get your hands on it, as the 3DS XL (known as the LL in Japan) will hit retailers in the US on August 19th priced at $199.99, making it only $30 more than the 3DS. The release in Europe and Japan comes a little sooner, on July 28th, at a somewhat higher price of £179.99, ?199.99 and 18,900¥ respectively.
PLUS it doesnt come with an adapter, but in the UK you are expected to pay :
$281.02, thats $81 extra cash for less stuff in the box than the US. I sort of feel that these guys ( and the others , Sony and MS ) use the EU to scrape back some cash after going all out on the specials for the US.
Ah well its all a moot issue anyways, I still have my DSlite ( not the XL, DSi or XXLSuperSaiyanSSFIIaintgotshitonnameslikethis EX Extreme Version.... Alpha Zero ), and quiet frankly the 3DS hasnt really given me reason enough to bother titlewise.
... prehaps the 3DSXLReallybetterversionRev2.032 will be more attractive, but I guess Nintendo will add another $200 to the UK version and not supply screens, SD cards and Adapters.

Is it me or are they just appending more and more letters to DS? Anyways, I haven't been remotely interested in any of them since I got the original when I was like twelve. So completely disinterested from this corner.
Why would they not add a second analog stick it's not like they lack space and certain games actually require it.

Just a general comment: I really wish comapnies would stop bundling SD cards with every single device that can use them. I now have three 2GB MicroSD, one 32MB (MEGABYTES!! As if anyone still used that size...) and one 64MB SD card, and one 2GB MMC card lying around which I have no use for anymore, since I bought reasonably large cards for all devices they came with (the 32MB card was bundled with a CAMERA. Because a 9MP camera makes such TINY files!).JezWilkinson said:
You might be able to; I think there's a system transfer function in the options menu or something.blizzaradragon said:
OT: This seems a bit pointless. No second analogue stick, only slightly better battery life, no higher resolution.
You're not making a compelling case nintendo :/
So no second analog stick...slightly larger screen size...increased size of an already cumbersome handheld...and only barely increased battery life. In case you were not aware Nintendo, new revisions of existing hardware are supposed to be BETTER than the existing version. All you've given us now is a larger, less portable hand held that honestly does not outperform the original in really any meaningful way. The only good things that will hopefully come from this are: 1. The Vita's price drops; and 2. Sony now decides to release their next Vita iteration, which as history shows with the PSP (except the PSP Go) will be a better handheld gaming experience.
