A:AnswerIt is. I’ve had the all of Nintendo handhelds and I love this one. It’s lighter than the new 3ds XL and has all of the same features sans 3D ( more of a gimmick anyway). The one and only drawback I saw was the textured top my inhibit skins from skinit if you’re into that sorta thing. Just make sure it’s gonna but worth it for you to downgrade. If it is... enjoy.
