3DS LL announced, Aug 19, $200

that honestly looks so awesome, hopefully a nice circle pad pro attachment will come out at launch because I'm definitely buying one.FPS1337

Surprised by no second stick. Personally I was hoping for a more compact unit. Looks alright, though. I wonder hoe the screen is. 3DS is rather low resolution...Heirren

I htink it looks Awesome, might have to trade in one of my 3ds' to help bring the cost down.

Is this legit for the US market? I don't get the lust for the bigger unit. The DSxl was just tooooooo big. The screen was a mess. Now, the 3Ds needed a redesign, but I'm not sure how much of an improvement this is. By making it larger, there's no excuse for not including the second stick. Imagine how big it will be with an LL Circle Pad Pro, or do they expect people not to play those games?Heirren

Hmm... A larger 3DS would be useful for viewing DS games in their native resolution.

I'm happy with the current size so I might skip this one.

To be honest, I do kind of want it. I feel as if the current 3DS screen size is a bit small but that could just be me. With this other 3DS I can see whats on the screen better without having to put the 3DS closer to my face.

Looks too big for my tastes; i'll stick with my current aqua blue 3DS. :)

Wow, I'd like to see the 3D display on that big screen. And Netflix and Nintendo Video will benefit greatly from this. I currently find the screen too small for video content.

This is great news for my dad, his eyes are pretty bad.

As for me, I'll be passing. :P

I think I will stick with my current 3DS. While I would love a larger 3DS with larger screens, the resolution of 3DS games is already fairly low and playing them on a larger screen will only make the games look worse. Playing Nintendo DS or Virtual Console/DSiWare titles on the 3DS XL will likely look HORRIBLE. Nintendo DS games are already pixelated on the 3DS, and this won't help with that any. With no built in second stick now a Circle Pad Pro accessory will increase the size to a rediculiously large level and probably look even more hideous.

I've gotta say, from a quality stand point, it's not as polished looking as the original 3DS or the DSi XL

But oh well, it's probably to keep the cost down so I'll take it. :D

Where is the second analog stick? That new CPP is going to be humongous!

im selling my launch black 3ds for this bad boy.

I'm tempted to get one for the larger screens.

This news is interesting, since Nintendo said weeks ago they weren't releasing a remake of the 3DS.hydralisk86

Actually,that was days ago.

Lol..

Talk about contradiction!

I'm fine with my Aqua 3DS, but this will be nice for those who don't have one yet, I guess.

I take MAJOR issue with them not including the AC adapter. WHO THE HELL DOES THAT?! "To save costs..." HOW MUCH DO AC ADAPTERS COST?! And to save the cost... but we have to buy it separately anyway?! THANK YOU FOR SAVING ME MONIEZ NINTENDO! I swear to god, Nintendo can be as stupid as any other company.JustPlainLucas

I guiltily want this......but I'll pass anyway. I love my black 3ds as it is:D

Is Nintendo mentally challenged?

Yeah, seriously, what the **** is this ****? I'm surprised I'm not seeing more people up-in-arms over this, too. This is a seriously stupid move on Nintendo's part.

And now I will finally pull the trigger on a 3DS. I don't care about the bigger size (although it's a nice plus), I've just been waiting for a new model with better battery life. megagene

Same, but I'm a bit disappointed in the XL. Better battery life, sure, but same resolution, no AC adapter, no second stick. To be honest, I'm not even big on the screens being bigger. It makes the whole thing less portable.

I think I read at ign that an ac will be included in the US market version.Heirren

Just saw that myself.

Let out a huge sigh of relief.

This doesn't seem like a HUGE improvement (lol) over the original 3DS, at least judging from the aesthetics it doesn't look as good as the 3DS or DSi XL to me, and it looks even more like a DS than the 3DS. What I do like is that it seems the screens aren't glossy anymore, since reflections usually clash with the 3D effect on the original model.

This is great for those who wanted a bigger screen, better battery or just a larger system in general, but I don't really see the point of it so I'll be holding onto my original for now. And I guess this means we'll be seeing a Circle Pad Pro XL soon.
