In 1:1 mode, it'll be just like the DS Lite.

I'll be there day one.
I have such mixed feelings about this.ni don't play the 3DS much at the moment, but this Christmas there are a bunch of games coming that I want. And that screen looks great,nandn3D should be better.
I don't care if crap 3D graphics will look crappier - nintendo games like mario 3D look clean and crisp so they should translate well to the larger screen

I just noticed the depth slider next to the slider itself is now just a ridge on the XL. Looks sorta lazy.
What?
The Silver/Black is the one I'm thinking about.
That kind of defeats the purpose of being an XL.. I already have a Lite.
yep DS games in 1:1 mode should be roughly the same size as a regular DS lite screen, with black borders filling up the rest of the XL screen.

If you do fullscreen you'll get the same slightly blurry image that the 3DS has... just larger.
Then buy a DSi XL.
Full screen mode on the 3DS XL will be identical to the standard 3DS' display, only bigger. It'll be blurry.

Peopel who say because of the larger screen it will look worse, should just see the improvement from Lite to DSi XL.
Though, I will wait for screen quality impressions before deciding to buy; if it is improved like DSi XL, then it will be well worth the lower ppi.

If you boot them in 1:1 mode (hold down select), they'll look identical to how they would on a Lite. Same resolution, and on the 3DS XL, the same size.
With pixelization though. EDIT: I meant in full screen, now I get what you meant = it can boot DS games at their original size. I now see how it is a good news. Though it may not be practical to reach certain parts of the screen in some touchscreen games.
Sweet, crisp pixels. You got a DSiXL?
I am all over this. The XL is the best handheld on the planet. This thing will look glorious sat next to mine.
Nope. 1:1. Think that through.

much, much better looking, aesthetically
It'll be there just due to the pixels being huge, but the pixel structure will take the edge off. That's also why wanting a higher resolution is ignorant: those games are still going to run at the same resolution, at best you do doubling and get it to look like the Vita, either without a filter or with bilinear filtering. And while that's preferable to DS games on the 3DS when stretched out it's still less ideal than native resolution.

So they got rid of the 'three tier' form factor, which they originally said was by design,
I always thought it looked ugly.

Looks pretty nice, but I'm OK with the regular one right now. I'll wait for the Zelda themed version.

Battery Life is still semi-bad but no longer the totally unacceptable disaster that it was at launch. Thanks for beta testing the old version for us guys!
You were right, I edited my post.

Is there any shots from the side or back?
If you're in the USA, there's one included. If not then, well uh it's not.
If you're in North America: Don't worry about it, we'll have it. Sounds like it's a Japanese thing to not bother, maybe due to hardware upgrading or whatever, not sure if that's the same rationale for dumping it in Europe though.
Blame greenpeace and their shitty annual reports IMO.
Totally uninterested (DSi XL was the only version of that handheld that I skipped), due to the fact that I love to have my portable consoles with me, and the size of this, as for the DSi XL or Vita, are too big.
I recognize that it is quite sexy, and that the improved battery life is a good thing.

So........why the fuck wasn't this announced at E3?
And why no second stick?
And why no second stick?
Thanks for making a blue one, Nintendo!
How exactly would you recommend they increase the resolution on a console with set specifications, including a set resolution in games hardcoded to 800x240?
How exactly would Nintendo be able to achieve an increase in resolution without extra processing power? How would this affect cost? How would this affect backwards compatibility with the millions of 3DS's currently on the market?
Think that through.
What do you honestly think?
