VG247: 3DS’s miniature form factor crippled Nintendo’s latest handheld, but XL, the machine’s first major revision, finally makes good on the excitement we all felt at E3 2010. Patrick Garratt tries it out and comes up grinning.
(3DS)
They need to make a shiny black version. Until then I won't buy it. Red and Blue look pretty bad. The grey is somewhat better, but still not ideal. Black would be awesome.
I really can't wait for this version of the 3DS; I really think that the bigger screen will have a much more profound 3D effect. This should've been the definitive version Nintendo should've launched with, instead of the original 3DS. The author makes a great point when he compared it to today's standard of tablets and mobile devices. Having a bigger screen makes perfect sense, but Nintendo not launching with a 3DS, that has a bigger screen and longer battery life, makes absolutely no sense. Oh well, I guess I'll be getting this anyway...
I have about 30 games including the ambassador titles and recent games such as Mighty Switch Force and many other digital releases... I plan on doing a system transfer when I get the 3DS XL which I recommend you do that as well, if that's the only reason why your keeping the original 3DS. I can't wait for the bigger screen because the small screen was one of my only gripes with the original 3DS. I feel that the 3DS is the best handheld Nintendo has made since the GBA and the titles on the 3DS have damn near already improved in every aspect. It's turning out to be another RPG and adventure machine, especially in Japan. I just hope that, we in the US, get more localization of titles that Japan and UK have available. Heroes of Ruin has been a real treat for me and Kingdom Hearts is next; followed by NSMB2 and Castlevania: LOS, Mirrors of Fate. It really seems like a great year for the 3DS...
I've long since given up on trying to make sense out of the illogical and often irrational decisions Nintendo (and Sony, and most other big Japanese corporations) make.
The major thing I picked up from this? The 3DS needs Twitter and Facebook. I love my 3DS, but if Nintendo wants to compete with Apple and Android and everything else they need to convince parents why their kids dont need an iPod Touch because the 3DS does everything that does and more. I want to see some social apps.

i must keep my old 3DS because I have 22 games on the memorycard there :)
Its like the game was compressed down for the original 3DS :P
Was it worth the upgrade?
Does it enhance the 3D effect?
How do original DS titles fair?
How does Ki: Uprising and RE: Revelations look on it?
Does the bigger screen make the original resolution look jagged or does it still look amazing or better?
And one more; Can I have your 3DS XL and will you pay for shipping to the US?
That last question was a joke which I think you know... Thanks!
You cannot make sense out of the nonsensical.
