Are you guys enjoying the 3DS XL?

I know I am. Just got it early this week and it's exceeded my expectations. I feel more immersed in the games than I did on the original system's tiny screen, I don't get hand cramps anymore, and the system isn't as heavy as I thought it would be. It's also still quite portable imo. Less glare and the system doesn't acquire as many sticky fingerprints.

I've heard some people say that the red one looked childish, I guess because the color seemed so bright, but in person the color is much more subtle. This is easily my favorite handheld ever. What do you guys think about it?

do the games look alright on it?campzor

I've seen people complain about the DS games being fuzzy, but imo it's barely noticable at all.

Think GameBoy player. Still looks amazing but you can tell it's blown up.

ummm at first i was a little let down because i wanted it to be as sharp as the small screen but only bigger...

but after a few hours i decoded the bigger screen makes a lot of the games better... OOT is amazing with the big screen and the 3d in that made a bigger impression on me than when i played on the regular 3ds...

took me a while to realize you have to be farther away from the screen to be in the sweet spot compared to the regular edition...

i have to say the comfort is amazing as well...dpad is usable now and l and r shoulder button are much easier to press. and i can play sitting down a lot longer without my back getting tired.

Just curious, is there any wobble with the hinges with the XL?

I also traded up and immediately as I was transferring the data in store, fell in love with the xl. Only regret at the time, was I should've gotten the blue one, but I'm over it now. The games look amazing on the bigger screen, and the 3d is better.

After reading your post , I decided to buy a 3DS XL

I will pick the blue one soon when I have enough money

can't wait !

ok serious question, doesn't large screen with same resolution reduce the picture quality of games??

need input

The GBA games look pretty amazing if you ask me, esp. Yoshi's Island. I find the d-pad a lot more comfortable too so it's great for all the Ambasador and other VC games that don't play as nice w/ an analog stick. Overall, I'm completely pleased. The graphics are much more striking on a larger screen it's more comfortable in general.

I also don't find the portability is diminished on iota in any practical sense. It is a pretty narrow subset of pockets that fit one but not the other.

does anybody got a 3DS XL with stuck pixels or dust under the screen ??

I dont have a 3DS XL. I will loyaly stand by my original 3DS. Which in my opinion is far superior.

I just go my blue 3DS XL , got a pretty awesome deal on graiglist , 150$ only!!! sealed brand new !!

the only sad part is that I found a tiny stuck pixel on the left most part of the top screen , not visible during gameplay

but I can definitely see it on a white background

I won't return it because its on the left part of the screen , most of the action occurs on the center of the screen so I don't really notice it when I play games

I will learn to live with it and forget that its there

Super Mario 3D land and Mario Kart 7 looks awesome on the XL !!! wow way better then the original 3ds

you know i was someone who was against the DSi xl and i was against the 3ds xl when it was annouced. but after seeing a couple of videos of it on youtube i decided to give up my launch aqua and get a blue 3ds xl. and i love it. the matte finish keeps my clammy hands dry lol.

i don't know why nintendo didn't give the 3ds a matte finish like this. and the design is much sleeker as well. and the graphics are not as pixelated as the ds xl graphics were. im definitely happy with my purchase.

and i find it portable. it fits perfectly into my purse. although some of you dudes may have trouble fitting this in your pockets.

I love my red XL. It enhances the 3d and makes it a far better gaming experience. On the old 3ds I would switch it off for high action areas because if the 3ds turns to the right or left the screen becomes blurred. It really is a huge step up, I wouldn't use my old 3ds if you paid me. People whining about potentional miniscule fidelity loss because of bigger pixels don't own one. It won't bother you at all and is only noticable if you are doing a side by side comparison with a magnifying glass. The huge screen make it 100x better, I would recommend it to anyone that has a 3ds and tell anyone that doesn't it's a no brainer..

You folks who are talking about GBA games: Are those downloads, or is there a GBA slot ala a DS Lite on the XL? A GBA slot would push me over the edge again, as it did on the Lite...

... Thanks!

Anyways, nope, 3DS doesn't have a GBA slot like DS, and afaik the digital GBA games are only for 3DS ambassadors (those that bought the original 3DS @ the original price). I'm hoping Nintendo will start adding GBA games on the eshop for everyone soon.

Ah. Thank you. I would still like an XL, but since there's no slot there's no hurry. About the only thing I really want to play is the RE game...
