Oh man. Was hoping they'd have screenshots of both 3DS and XL screens. I would like to see the difference.

live2play4634d ago

its massive

ive been playing my 3DS XL constantly
tried out the regular one
its just so tiny

i never had a problem with its size before i got my hands on the XL

GenericNameHere4634d ago

How big is the screen compared to the Vita? And how's the 3D/Graphics compared to the old 3DS? For example, can you finally see the enemies in MGS3D? (I tried out the demo, and while I could see the enemy, I could barely see them and trying to aim for their head was even more difficult)

live2play4634d ago

compared to the vita
the screen is a bit taller and a bit less wide
http://www.inentertainment....

the 3D blew me away on the XL it has more impact and things stretch out of the screen way more now

the graphics werent hit too bad, i can barely notice the difference
somehow its big enough not to pixelate anything further

the 3d sweetspot is kind ofharder to get away from

comparing the machines
(when i saw the XL on the interet it looked like a cheap plastic toy)

when i got it in my hands it looks so sleek and classy, (the blue one looks awesome) the rounded edges melt in your hands and the d-pad is better and the buttons are clickier

now my old ds looks like the cheap plastic one

The top screen is a big as the Vita's. And though the Vita's screen is way better, the games on 3DS are more colorful, yes, even more so than Uncharted.

Also, I own both systems.

Funny how the game that promotionally released with the Sytem doesn't make the list because even on regular 3Ds is very jaggy and pixeled!

Good game though, I still prefer the DS version because the controls were more tight, but I mean this is better than the 3D mario Land IMO.

Coop was a great addition too bad it's only local:(

I love the xl! It's a huge imprOvenrnt over the original. The bigger screens makes a helluva difference. Ever since I've gotten it, I can't stop playing.

Castlevania portrate of ruin and castlevania dawn of sorrow is what everyone should check out on their xl, those are the games I'm playing on my xl.

I would also like to check out contra 4 and Metroid ds on my xl

Scratch the word improvement after huge. Jks, its a clever idea, but the resolution doesn't stand the stretch.

Also the battery life is the same, for now you can't use the circle pad pro, and frankly no integration of the 2nd slider is just dumb when you have the room to do so.

I'll stick with my 3DS slim:P

I would trade up if the resolution was bumped or if the 2nd slider was built in.

TXIDarkAvenger4634d ago

Is there a big difference between the 3DS and 3DS XL? cause I'm going to pick one up soon and I'm not sure if I should pay more for the XL just for a bigger screen.

linkenski4634d ago

The 3DS XL really is better in a number of ways. I usually want my handheld to be small and pocket-pouch-sized although when i bought the XL version of the 3DS i realized how much it really changes to have that bigger screen.
It is not just that though and i can assure you that you won't be picking it up for more money just for the screen size.
It's more comfortable, and looks like it's better build quality. Old DS games look way better (3DS games do too most of the time), and the top screen doesn't reflect as much, so you won't have to "stare at yourself" like you're looking in a mirror when you play.

Yeah. That’s the first I’ve seen it anywhere near #1.

Mario 64 is great but I wouldn’t put it over Mario World.

Top 10 were bangers till they threw the #1 spot away lol

Thanks for checking out the article

Not having any Xenoblade Chronicles games on the list is a crime.

CUnit12312358d ago

Sorry lol. I wrote the article but 5 of us voted for many different games and majority went on the list then we worked on the list. If it were just my personal top favorite we'd seen some xenoblade and star ocean as well as some others. Thanks for checking out it!

RavenWolfx57d ago

Chrono Trigger at 31 makes my heart hurt.

Zeldafan6457d ago

Not having any Xenoblade Chronicles games on the list at all is a crime.

Super Mario Odyssey Turns Seven - Ranking the 3D Mario Games

VGChartz's Mark Nielsen: "With the Switch getting on in years and the prospect of a new Nintendo console growing closer, now seems like an excellent time to take a look back at one of its mascot’s two big evolutionary lines, particularly since we now find ourselves in the longest wait ever between 3D Mario games. Today marks the seven year anniversary for the release of Super Mario Odyssey, and with no full new entry in sight, it comfortably beats the roughly six year wait between Super Mario 64 and Super Mario Sunshine, which should also be good news to anybody who broke a mirror that day.

3D Mario has delighted fans since 1996, maintaining an astonishing level of quality and bringing innovations not just to the 3D platformer genre, but gaming as a whole. Needless to say, it’s a hard task to rank a series where every entry is beloved, but I shall nevertheless undertake this risky venture with my head held high. Wish me luck."

One of the worst marios.. i hated the fact it was only about finding the moons and very repetitive with the same bosses. There is no exploration in this one.
Galaxy 2 is still unmatched

TiredGamer187d ago

I played, completed, and enjoyed Mario Odyssey, but I tend to agree that I don't think it's the best 3D Mario. There was sense of sameness that prevailed after the first couple of worlds... not in the levels, environments, or aesthetics, but in the routine of each world. It just felt like each new environment was just the beginning of another checklist of moons to acquire, and the sheer number of them took away the sense of accomplishment I got from the stars in Mario 64 and the like. I can't exactly put my finger on why that is. Galaxy gets my nod as the best one.

Cacabunga187d ago

I enjoyed it too but i won’t even place it in my top10 mario games.. as you said you are just looking for stars and that irritating music everytime you find one.
Also the bosses are pretty much the same from begging to end. I would have have like some koopalings instead of these dumb useless rabbits

Chocoburger187d ago

I played a little of this game and freakin' LOVED it! But I forced myself to stop because I hadn't played Galaxy 2, which I've been playing every day for the past week. Cripes, Galaxy 2 is way better than I expected it to be! Even though I dislike the Wiimote and nunchuck controls, and it annoyed me a lot with Galaxy 1, part 2 just feels better and slightly less gimmicky when it comes to the controls.

Profchaos187d ago

Sunshine at number 7 no way. I get it's not perfect but it deserves better to date there has not been another 3d Mario that's managed to capture that same movement it's the most acrobatic feeling Mario to date.

It's by and large better than 3d land/world and I'd argue that galaxy 2 didn't offer any trie innovation it was essentially a DLC pack to 1

Personally it's
1) Mario 64
2) Mario Sunshine
3) Mario galaxy
4) Mario Odyssey
5) galaxy 2
6) Bowser fury
7) 3d land/ world.
