So it's definitely a #0 then? :/
Yes. Absolutely.
Don't use anything else. You will fuck it up and strip the screws. Then its stuck forever. Unless you snap it clean off.
So it's definitely a #0 then? :/
Just got my system. Has anyone noticed any type of tint to the top screen (XL or regular)?

Ah, ok then. I should be able to use mine as well. Thanks guys.I used a screwdriver intended for eye glasses. Worked without issue. It might have been troublesome if the screws had been tight to begin with though.
I must be really unlucky. I got my "New" 3DS XL from target a few hours ago. I got the red one. I was really excited only to notice that the buttons and d-pad had this really weird black lines on it. I was debating to keep it but I might aswell change it, so I won't be able to play MH4 until tomorrow :-( .
Where can I buy the new charging cradle?
My XL is very very warm/yellow. The difference between the temp of the top and bottom screen isn't very noticeable though. I've had a DS or two in the past that had to be returned because the difference in temp was pretty stark.
Another plus for the new XL is the sound it makes as you open the screen. It still pops into position, but now it does so without that awful cracking sound.

Yes. I lost my connection and had to hard reset and restart the entire process.Probably a dumb question, but going to ask anyway: I'm doing a system transfer and it's about 25% done according to the Pikmin. Do I still need internet access at this point? In other words, are the systems talking directly to one another or are they using the using the Internet as a "go between." I'm asking because I'd like to change locations (i.e., drive somewhere else) but don't want to mess up the transfer.
Guess what?
That's normal. My black XL has those too. Noticed it last year when I got it, its on all of them.
Exchanging won't help.
Any country other than America.

Wow the New 3DS XL Polygon review is excessively harsh.
They liked:
* Improved control scheme
* Great game library, which improved today with MH4 and MM3D, and new control scheme improves old games.
* Improved 3D
* Great build quality.
They didn't like:
* The system transfer process (a one time thing.)
* "No hardware defining games" despite the fact that they spent the first half of the review talking about how the system is great for MH4 and MM3D
* Consumer confusion - HOW is this a knock against the hardware?
* The same friend code system - it's still a 3DS, and they never promised any changes to this system.
Basically it's a great piece of hardware that fixes the major problems with the original hardware. And all of the stuff we dislike about it has nothing to do with the hardware itself.
7/10
Baffling.
Do you have any proof to back that up? My blue XL has nothing like that, but if it is common I will keep it.
Same here. I've already replayed some older games to fully experience the 3D. Rusty's Baseball is great now that I can move the system and not lose the 3D sweet spot!I'm blown away by how much better the 3D works in games
Yes. I lost my connection and had to hard reset and restart the entire process.
Any companies doing skins for this? The glossy feel and look sucks and I don't want to scratch it since that will happen really fast. Any news or links to skins for it anywhere?

I agree. Looking for a skin already. The outside is a little slippery.Any companies doing skins for this? The glossy feel and look sucks and I don't want to scratch it since that will happen really fast. Any news or links to skins for it anywhere?

Was it the Bayonetta 2 review?I remember Polygon doing something recently that made me mad at them. Forgot what it was, but this made me mad at them again.

. Oh and my battery was totally dead when I got it.
Are they hard to apply and are these for the XL?Any companies doing skins for this? The glossy feel and look sucks and I don't want to scratch it since that will happen really fast. Any news or links to skins for it anywhere?
edit - Found these https://www.decalgirl.com/skins/Nintendo-3DS-LL-Skins
might order one to keep the outside looking good. Had a decal girl sticker before and it was easy to remove from my iPhone so I don't think it will leave sticky shit all over the unit later when I take it off.

Guys I need help, I was about to buy Pokemon X & Y because I thought they were the latest. See, I haven't played a Pokemon game since Red & Blue.
Then I found out about Omega Ruby & Sapphire being the latest, however they appear to just be remakes.
I have buyer's paralysis. Should I get X/Y or Omega Ruby/Sapphire?

I bought a MicroSD 64gb card, someone mentioned that the 3DS only can use a max of 32gb cards, is this accurate. I am about to open my system and all my stuff, but I need to know if I should open the 64gb card or go back to best buy and get a 32gb one.
Thanks in advance for any quick replies as I am dying to get things started.

Well, I have no idea about the red one as that's America only.
Compare with some others on here. Photos?

Pilotwings Resort, Mario Kart 7, Star Fox 64 3D, Kingdom Hearts DDD and Bravely Default all have really good implementations of the 3D effect too, imoI'm definitely going to play through Pushmo and SM3DL when I get this. Those two games have the best utilisation of the 3D.
I bought a clear Hori case, everyone has been giving it glowing reco's. Can print something if you want and slip it in between the case and the 3DS XL, I'll probably just leave mine with the majora decal

You can apparently find them in store at some Walmarts, Targets, Best Buys, Gamestop, etc. Make sure to get the new 3DS XL version since the ports have all changed the layouts.
I don't think they reviewed it. Polygon launched (in blog form) October 24, 2012.
The Verge reviewed The 3DS XL on October 1st and gave it a 7.9. So the XL predates Polygon.
