As long as the increased size doesn't make it a big noticeable difference on how conferrable it is, then Im probably going to get this instead of the regular 3DS

Ill get it if there is a deal that I trade in my regular 3DS and get this one for like 50 bucks or something

Ehh... I don't want a bigger 3Ds. The one I have works fine.

Hmm, considering my 3DS is a relatively new investment for me, I think i'll try and part exchange for this model..

I loved my DSi XL before trading it in for my 3DS. Now I can have everything I loved about it and the 3DS in one sexy package. I just hope the Circle Pad Pro XL they've announced will be available at launch.

You can transfer them, y'know.

3D-David

June 28, 2012 - 7:09pm

oh, thats good to know. i guess the only thing left is the extra 200 dollars...

Altair0115

June 28, 2012 - 7:26pm

Since New Super Mario Bros. 2 will come out on the same day, how about a new game with that extra money??? ;)

3D-David

June 29, 2012 - 12:35pm

I meant PAYING an extra 200 bucks for the new 3ds since i already have one, but definatley gonna get nsmb 2

Ambassador games are transferable between 3DS'es, so I'd imagine you can transfer them to the XL easily on day 1.

THIS SHOULD NOT BE!

Altair0115

June 28, 2012 - 10:37pm

BUT IT IS! BE!

I've always wanted it to be bigger, just like the DSi XL.

I concur! It's just the same thing but bigger, they're not even putting any innovation. Nintendo is just trying to make a quick buck. To make it worse, the ac adaptor apparently doesn't come with it and the stand for Kid Icarus is probably useless now. It's just the 3DS but bigger and I doubt that now they can justify it by saing that it's for the ederly because the casual market is not as strong as it was. The casual market is like a full moon, it comes once in a while but you should not rely too much on it.

And anyway if you're an ederly hardcore gamer (yes that does exist) you probably have glasses or some sort of apparatus so you don't need a titanic screen.

it does come with an AC adaptor, except for in Japan

Smoofy

June 28, 2012 - 8:34pm

Well, that's not that bad but still kinda stupid. Why not include the thing that makes the functioning of the device possible.

LineBeckIV

June 28, 2012 - 1:15pm

This doesn't bother me, unlike all the DS models this doesn't make me feel bad for getting 3DS original as it's not a huge improvement over the 3DS. It has its advantages and disadvantages so if anything it'll just be more of an nice alternative for the consumer. Good job Nintendo.

Potsi78

June 28, 2012 - 1:12pm

Meh. If they had slapped the 2nd circle pad on that bad boy, it would've been a done deal. I'll stick with my current 3DS and probably pick one of these up when the price drops.

June 28, 2012 - 1:01pm

Saw this coming, knew it was the smart move to hold back until the put out the larger screened version

Altair0115

June 28, 2012 - 12:45pm

I missed the big screens of the DSi XL, so I welcome this.

Fishman

June 28, 2012 - 12:41pm

im still on the fence about this one.

The giddy child in me wants one because its new and has a massive screen which is cooool, but the cynical gamer in me knows it isn't much different from the 3DS I have now and it would be more money wasted on essentially the same system, when I could spend that money on loads of new games or put it into my Wii U fund.

decisions, decisions....

hainami

June 28, 2012 - 12:41pm

I want to trade in my 3DS to get this, but I also wanna keep my ambassador status. I wonder if my ebgames will be nice enough to let me open a 3dsXL and move stuff over before I trade it in?

Yeah. I live in a dream world.

pulloff

June 28, 2012 - 12:37pm

no thanks. If it turns out to be awesome after all I'll get it then. But I was really disappointed with the 3ds I have now.

I'm starting to get a little agitated when every time I don't like or want something and state my reasons why, with no angry or insulting words, there are plenty of people that attack me by calling me a hater.

abINC88

June 28, 2012 - 1:23pm

Pay no attention to those people. There are us who logically defend Nintendo with facts and sound reason yet we're called mindless fanboys. You can tell if someone doesn't even attempt to understand what you're trying to say, to those people, just ignore them and know that you're not a whiny moron who doesn't have anything better to do. For me, I'm not getting the XL because apart from loving my 3DS, its size also allows me to easily bring it around, the XL would make that difficult and I have no need for a larger screen.

weirdybeardy

June 28, 2012 - 12:32pm

I don't care what all the haters say. I'm excited to get one.
