"Fantastic Console!"
5 stars"

The 3DS was already a big step for Ninendo but this is BIGGER. The screens have had a substantial increase and along with the new displays (which reduce glare) so the games and 3D look much better. It feels more comfortable in your hands and the longer batter life and larger buttons make the XL more worthwhile than the normal one.

It comes with a handy 3D adjuster so you can pick what feels more comfortable to you. Nintendo has released an array of games, older titles (available on the eShop) and new ones which make a great use of the console. The 3DS comes with more fun features which you can discover once in your hands.

Overall this is a fantastic item that I recommend for anyone who wants a portable console or just a great gaming device!

"_What a B-E-A-U-TY !!"
5 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape

What a console ! A simple, beautiful, and sleek design that is made to last for a very long time.

Before parting ways from my 6.5 year old long relationship with my DS Lite, I was worried that the covers colour would scratch off easily.

Upon unboxing my 3DS XL, I was rest assured that there was no way that was going to happen because:

  1. It's a Nintendo product
  2. The finish is protective superb – it just won't scratch*

The whole experience – two words – simply beautiful. From right out of the box I got right into playing with the 6, yes, 6 AR Cards.

The virtual world had come alive as one moment I had Mario on my coffee table and the next I was shooting down targets whilst maneuvering around my living room with the top screen providing the crystal clear POV of a pilot.

Games ran very fluidly with immersive details and colours and the 3-D experience is greatly enhanced with the 90% larger screen as it brings out a whole new level of personal experience to playing video games on a handheld.

Games became more enjoyable as backgrounds, foregrounds, all grounds, became the more scenic as I tried to perceive the depths of these amazing new worlds that were unveiling their true form to me

Despite the screen being 90% larger and consisting of the exact same PPI (Pixals Per Inch) of the 3DS, your gaming experience is not affected whatsoever.

Your games will take you beyond the limit, to a whole new level as you “catch ‘em all”, shoot 'em up, race, combat, hack 'n’ slash, play to the rhythm, explore vast worlds and much much, much more !

*Results may vary with intent to scratch this beauty.
