Is it worth getting a Nintendo 3DS XL?

BuzzHut looks at whether its worth getting a 3DS XL "Nintendo recently announced the 3DS XL is to launch in August with screens nearly twice the size of the original 3DS. Question is, if you already own a 3DS or are about to purchase one, should you upgrade to this new version? Read on."

What's not to love about it. Just the thought of playing the new Kingdom Hearts on this which is out the same day as as the xl here in Europe.

I like everything about the new 3DS except that they didn't add a second thumb stick. Kind of seemed like they passed on a great opportunity that the community wanted.

Batzi4338d ago (Edited 4338d ago )

another thumb stick wouldn't be fair for original 3DS owners. You think they didn't think about it? They did, but doing it would backstab everyone who got the 3DS in the first place and that's something Nintendo won't do and I understand that as much as I wanted a second thumb stick as well. So please, get over the idea of a second thumb stick. Maybe next-gen?

@Batzi

Oh its fair, they could just give them a free thumbstick accessory or at least discount it.

So are they going to make another add on for the new model?

I was holding back on buying a 3DS until Kingdom Hearts was released or there was a re-design. Both releasing on the same day is perfect for me and i will be getting one with Kingdom Hearts :D

I'm definitely getting one. I've got a DSi XL I can trade in, so that should get me about half off right away.

Jio4339d ago

My original 3DS got stolen, I already have a Vita, so getting the 3DS XL is a no brainer for me. For those who already have a 3DS and are upgrading, why?

Venoxn4g4339d ago

I would like one too, but I want this way: buy 3ds this one and trade old one and transfer all the content to new one at the shop, so I wouldn't lose my data, I hope that I can do like this, can't I? :)

other thing: will on new 3ds LL graphics will be decreased I mean more pixelly? If not, I'm in! :)

Day one buy for me..I can't wait to see most of my current games on the "big screen"..also no more eye strain or handcramps! I imagine the viewing angle for 3D will be far superior too!

Zelda Replay: Majora's Mask

VGChartz's Evan Norris: "Is Ocarina of Time as legendary as I remembered it? For the most part, yes. In spite of a handful of missteps — a few obtuse puzzles, some tedious backtracking, and a clunky stealth sequence — I don't believe the last 23 years have been unkind to it. Ocarina remains a brilliant example of the medium, a landmark game that shaped the future of its own franchise and 3D gaming in general. After more than two decades it retains its inventive dungeon design, challenging puzzles, dynamic combat, wistful storyline, unforgettable music, and empowering open-air freedom. I feel confident calling it one of the greatest games of the fifth generation, even if I'm no longer prepared to list it among the five best games ever made."

Pure unadulterated fun. They don't make them like this anymore...especially not the triple A industry.

Back when video rental was a thing, I rented out Majoria's Mask, I never finished it though. I did buy the 3DS version before the eshop shutdown, so maybe one day I'll finally play through the whole thing, it's amazing how well these games hold up though. I briefly played Ocarina of Time for a while and it was really fun.
