Nintendo's Enlarged 3DS XL Console Now Available in North America
Regardless, you can get your hands on the 3DS XL at GameStop, Target, or Toys R Us. The $200 console is $20 more expensive than the regular 3DS, but packs larger displays. The top screen is 90 percent bigger at 4.88 inches, while the bottom display is 4.18 inches, which is also 90 percent bigger than the original.
Note that the screen resolutions are the same on both models, so you're not getting more pixels, just more screen real estate that, for some users, will be easier on the eyes, albeit not as crisp since the pixels are being stretched over a larger area.
The 3DS XL is currently available in red or blue.

If they could tighten up the screen resolution that would make for a sweet little gift. Sometimes I get the strongest urges to go back and play some mario party or mario kart:D |
|
Mario party and mario kart, are best on the 64 but nothing beats the 3ds for the pokemon games, i need to go win the original gold and silver again. |
|
Those games hold old memories, but i Have to agree with rapid1, ds's just don't have the capabilities that tablet and phones have |
|
I don't know I think these things are a dead space as tablets and phones can do the same or better there just to locked down to me. |
|
there are very few mobile games that have the depth and/or quality of proper handheld games. unfortunately the few publishers trying to change that, like Square, are critcized for "overpricing" their games |
|
Hmmmm. Bigger isnt always better. |
|
I've got a DS Lite that I still use but when and if it dies I'll take a look at the XL. I don't want, in any way, the 3D crap. I just don't care about 3D but I would like the larger screens. If the DSI XL is still available I'd get that over the 3DS. |
|
I had a 3ds, sold it, and never looked back. Guess its because I put the money into my computer and play way better games then 3ds has to offer but hey, thats just me. |
|
While I use my PC a lot more for gaming I do like the DS for portable gaming. It's great for long car rides, the plane or when the power is out. |
