I like it. I'll probably get it at some point.

Hmm... I hate to say it, but I may actually be tempted to upgrade. If the larger form factor means my hands won't get cramped to shit after 10 minutes of play, the revised hardware might actually be worth it for me; especially when the flood of awesome new games (KH 3D, Layton, Animal Crossing, etc.) hits. Of course I'm with the folks who say they want a white one.
Of course the release of the "midnight purple" 3DS caught my wife's eye, but who the hell knows if that color will ever come in XL.

no second analog stick, charger ( not a huge deal just incredibly weird), and no resolution increase despite it already being low to begin with.
I was waiting for a revision with larger screens before buying one since i do want to play RE Revelations, but that hardware sounds terrible still.

I think I might upgrade. But I just bought a regular one last week lol.
Maybe I shoulda waited? Hopefully trading in I get good value.

Has there ever been a console or handheld that didn't include a AC adapter, I dont understand this, what are they thinking, money?

I just bought one of those cheap grips that makes the 3DS like a 360 controller. Problem solved for me. Before it I couldn't play without cramping or my hand falling asleep.

Wrong topic sorry. >_<
Because there aint enough room for one, moving the face buttons down would make them awkward to use and the second analog stick would only be used in a handful of games anyway.
The gyro or secondary screen can replace the functionality of the second stick , not as well of course but they are there.
I don't see anyone asking where Vita's second screen is...

Leave it out in the sun during the day.Or if you want continues play, go to your local service station and purchase a standard car battery and hook up the leads using a converter from eBay.

They do when the screen is almost twice the size. I'm not asking for PSVita level but at least it having a similar image quality the 3DS has for its size.

Except it is.
Not possible, needs to be hardware compatible with the OG 3DS.
Was excited during E3 and now I get this...Pass..like others, I'm willing to wait as long as it takes, before I get the 3DS revision that I want with 2nd analog and a charger. I'm willing to bet probably 3rd or 4th revision, after 3DS sales are still lukewarm perhaps that Nintendo will yield to the consumer. So I also hear that you can play DS games on the 3DS LL? Any truth to it?
Yeah, I don't get it either. Handheld games are designed for a specific set of hardware and a specific output resolution. Nintendo could add 4k displays and the games would still run at 400x240. A resolution bump doesn't make the image sharper, it makes it blurry. What's the point?

No adapter is worst then no analog, people will be told they have to purchase the fracking plug for that, wow!
Except it isn't. Maintaining comparability across all devices is more important.

The fact people are saying you can get chargers on eBay for THREE DOLLARS shows how unbelievable cheap Nintendo are being in this situation. "Just buy one yourself!"
If it's anything like the DSiXL, the bigger screens will make everything look better...and the original DS game looks close to the original size with the not-scale/black borders. 
Yep. I guess some imagine it like jpegs and that making it bigger makes everything blurrier.
The screen is bigger but the resolution is the same, so it will look as bad or as great as the 3DS (depending on who you ask)...but all over your face..like the DSiXL.

As long as it's native, I'm not too picky for this kind of fare, sadly I know better than to develop any kind of actual standards or expectation for this cheap shit. But I do boggle that they released a handheld with a lower resolution than the original PSP in 2011.
So true. People already complain that DS games look blurry when upscaled onto a 3DS.
