I can't decide which of these two 3DS bundles to purchase:

3DS XL with Mario Kart 7 pre installed ($159.99) or the 3DS with Super Mario 3D Land pre installed ($129.99).

Any suggestions?

EDIT: Got the XL. Looking for game recommendations now

Is one 3DS XL and the other not? If so go with the 3DS XL. In my opinion the XL is a much nicer system.

While I would say that 3D Land is the better game, go with the XL and buy it seperately later.

I would say 3DS XL. Unless you enjoy squinting as you play your 3DS or something :P. The XL is just better overall, and plus... you can play pokemon on a larger screen :D.

Who wouldn't want that?:P

Personally, the one with Super Mario 3D Land is a better game & at less expensive price. But that's just my opinion.

Thanks everyone!

I ended up getting the Mario Kart 7 3DS XL bundle as well as Super Mario 3D Land.

I was thinking of getting Resident Evil: Revelations Paper Mario, or Tales of the Abyss. Any other games you guys would recommend?

I highly recommend Pushmo (Pullblox) and Crashmo (Fallblox) on the eShop. Kid Icarus Uprising is great as well.

The XL bundle is a much better deal. I feel Mario Kart has longer lasting value.

I really prefer the XL to the original 3DS so that gets my vote. It is more than worth the extra price. It's really much more impressive and I find it's more comfortable to hold. The portability of it is not really diminished in practical reality though I suppose some small minority of people w/ a very speciffic pants pocket size mind find otherwise.

Good choice on getting the XL! The screen size is noticeably bigger and as such much better when playing games.

As for games, I recommend:

Super Mario 3D Land

Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D

Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop

Theatrhythm Final Fantasy

Professor Layton and the Miracle Mask

I also like the Kid Icarus game, though it can be quite difficult to play when travelling, especially on the bus/train. The Epic Mickey game is also a fun platformer but it's pretty short so I'd save it for a rental or borrowing from a friend.
