[Nintendo Direct] 3DS XL (90% larger screen, 4GB SD, better battery) OP has details

How different is the ratio of res : screen size to that of the DS XL? I mean, everyone is pretty much in love with that one.
 
I'm going to buy it day one, but it ain't cool lookin'.

This shit is cool lookin'

What colour is this?
 
This could be one of the ugliest displays ever.

Is there anything out there right now with this size of a screen and as low of a resolution?
 
Maybe you can recharge it via USB?


Anyway funny that this 3DS won't be comptatible with CPP... it kills completely every dream of using second analog XD. I can't think of a CPP for each model of 3DS it could be as funny as the microphone adapter for PSPFat/PSP2000 XD
 
/facepalm at everything nintendo does.

no second analog stick, no AC adapter. hahaha. what the hell are they thinking? company is messed.
Agreed, I don't know how anyone could even want with this thing especially when it doesn't include either of those.

yes, very disappointing. The increase in size looks very unweildy as well, not sure why they were going in this direction. If they had kept the same screen size but incorporated the second stick I think the reaction would be much more positive.
 
Hmm. Not sure how I feel about this, and not because I already own one. Same resolution? 200 bucks....the urge to double dip isn't there.

Like that display has potential to be bad as fuck. And I'm not using slang there.
 
yeah this thing isn't doing anything at $199.99. it'll have a decent first month (total 3ds sales maybe at or around 200k for august because of new hardware and nsmb2), and then drop off to last year's levels as the holidays near.

3ds should be $99.99. 3ds xl should be $149.99. software should be $29.99.
 
The DS XL's pixles are bigger than grapefruits but I still love it to death. Day one. Shame about the missing analog stick though.
 
most likely wont pick this up unless i'm completely blown away from it in person
bigger screen is very wanted though
 
It's pretty meh if you already have a 3DS. I wonder if it'll be worth it for me though. If upscaling is handled well it might be, but it really does suck that it has no second stick since it's already a bigger system.
 
Yeah but the expansion pack was MANDATORY for some games. You couldn't play games like Majora's Mask without it :S
Just like you can't play Red Steel 2 and Skyward Sword without Motion+. But no 3DS game will ever require a second stick. This announcement cements that for all times. And I'm perfectly fine with it.
