Dealspwn: "The New 3DS XL is here, and it's brilliant. Its predecessor, which we affectionately refer to as "The Bigness" here at the office, already improved on the original 3DS in every way imaginable, providing greater comfort, practicality and an infinitely superior gaming experience.
Now The Bigness is even better, as the New 3DS XL finally corrects the most blatant design flaw in Nintendo's handheld line while adding a faster processor, stable stereoscopic 3D, onboard Amiibo support and a range of extra tweaks. The result is the most desirable handheld console on the market if you're even remotely serious about portable gaming.
However, it becomes significantly less desirable if you already own an old-model 3DS XL."
After being benched for 20 years, and returning only to be forsaken again despite being a splendid game, it's time Kid Icarus gets salvation.
Hanzala from eXputer: "The cruel hammer of Nintendo has fallen. Farewell, 3DS and Wii U, you surely brightened my life and many others; you won't be forgotten."
A new list goes over eight of the the most useless amiibo, ranging from the Shadow Mewtwo card to the Qbby figure.
As someone yet to dip into the 3DS, this might be the one for me (if I ever bother). Think I'll wait until the price drops a little though or I'm sure that this is the last version Ninty release before a brand new handheld. Faster bootup times sound sweet too. Glad I didn't bother with the 2DS now as I was really tempted with some of the cheap deals I've seen for that one.
The lack of a charger bundled in is a big F-you to new buyers like me from Nintendo though. Would be fine if it only required a generic micro/mini USB charger, but hey.
