    I love the New 3DS, the bigger screen is awesome and the graphics are amazing, I'm so glad I upgraded, I also love that amiibo reader that comes with the 3DS so I don't have to bring all my extra things along to upload amiibos

    I'm an avid video game enthusiast and I own several consoles, this was my first handheld and I love it. It's a great device, has awesome perks, runs smooth, and honestly it's no surprise this guy was the top selling console last month. I will 100% guarantee that everyone will find something on there they love, not to mention the AMAZING 3D capability. If you have kids, they are gonna love this thing, if you're an adult you'll find yourself playing all day and forgetting your social life haha. Quit reading, get out and buy one.

    If you do not already have a 3DS system, this is the system to buy. The improved hardware makes load times so much faster for games, menus, the e-shop and more. The built in NFC makes using Amiibos possible without having to buy that lame adaptor. Most of all, the 3D tech is considerably better thanks to the head tracking (eye tracking), finally making you want to always play with 3D on. If you own a previous system, it is still worth picking this one up if you are a big 3DS player. One thing to consider, if you buy the system also pick up a 32GB micro SD card to replace the small 4GB card the system comes with. If you download a lot of games, you will want the greater amount of space and it is better to switch to the bigger card from the get go.

    Good quality. The size feels right. This is a big improvement over the previous 3DS model. AC adapter is not included, so if this is your first 3DS, you might want to pick up a AC adapter compatible with 3DS or DSi models.

    Best handheld ever made

    Ok so nintendo finally stepped up their game. This is by far the best handheld ever. I have this and the vita, and this finally has the controllers alot of us gamers have asked for. Two L and R buttons and a second stick. The c stick is a lot stiffer then I thought it would be and it's not quite as good as the vitas l, but it's not needed to be. The game selection on this is so much better then any other system. I had the original 3ds and didn't think the original xl was worth the upgrade but this definitely is. The 3d is AMAZING. 3d without the glasses is an awesome concept and it's perfect on this device. So much better then before. And the processing speed is noticeably faster. This is a huge upgrade that everyone should get. This is my number one game system.

    I upgraded my original 3ds xl to this and love the new screen. The face recognition 3d is the best part to me, as I can now move my face and not get a distorted screen. It's also faster and has the new circle pad. Get it!

    To some people it may not be worth the upgrade, but I think it is. I've always wanted a bigger screen and yes there's already an XL, but this one loads games faster. Only downside is that it doesn't include the charger.

    The eye-tracking technology and improved 3D is incredible. You no longer have to be perfectly still to enjoy 3D. It adjusts as you move. Battery life is excellent and I love how fast it boots up and downloads games!

    The handheld system is great. Crisp clear graphics even on the older ds games, nice sound, fast loading times. All in all a great product. The only problem I have with this product is that it does not come with a charger. The charger for this item must be purchased separately, which is a little ridiculous. Why sell an electronic device without a power source?

    I bought this as a gift for my brother in law for his birthday. He cannot put it down. There are so many good games out there for this system. The graphics are very good, the 3D is very good, and the controls are great.

    If you don't already have a 3ds of are looking to upgrade/replace your current system this is the way to go. Larger size, faster processor and built in circle pad pro is why you want this system.

    My son had the DSi since 2009, and it has been great! Now that they no longer make games for that, we were forced into buying the 3DS so he could play new games. I was worried at first because I'm not so sure watching a 3D screen every time he plays it could be good for his eyes, but there is a switch that turns it on and off. I think the features are really cool, and it's like a mini computer because he can go online with it if he wants to...but there are parental controls you select when first setting it up to determine how much freedom we do or do not let him have with the Internet. I'm bummed we had to replace the old one in order to play new games, but if this one lasts as well as the DSi did, then it's a worthy investment.

    I am an avid gamer. The fact that the screen is 3D peaked my interest and now I'm addicted. The experience in old and new games are incredible and the graphics are amazing. I seriously can't put this thing down!

    What is not to like about the new 3ds? It's faster, lighter and better. The 3d effect has been significantly improved. If you don't have a 3ds this is the one to buy. You need to buy the ac adapter separately though.

    Better 3d Better hardware design Faster processor And a nub. The only downside are micro SD card upgrade is frightening. System transfer takes forever. Finally we didn't get the smaller 3ds. Go out and buy it.

    The new nintendo 3ds xl is a huge improvement. No more headaches from you moving your head and the 3d going blurry on you. The new 3ds is noticeable faster than the older version. Also the c - stick is amazing.

    I was a little hesitant to get a new 3DS. I had a hard time choosing between 3DS and PS vita. But it turned out I made the right choice. The new 3DS is awesome. As someone who grew up with Nintendo, it's a nice feeling to be able to play the newest versions of Nintendo's updated classics with beautiful graphics. Also, it's nice to carry this around and play it whenever you want. The overall 3D aspect of it is rather funky, but it doesn't really take away from anything, because you can turn the 3D on and off very easily. Also, it's about as stupid as anything can get that the charger doesn't come with it, and you actually have to either order it separately or get this bundle. But I guess it just wouldn't be Nintendo if there wasn't some kind of terrible product marketing!

    Not sure why I waited so long to jump on the 3DS bandwagon, but wow...what a system. This NEW version's 3D is great, battery life is good, not great, and games look crisp and clear on the screens. NOTE: This system does not come with a AC charger and must be purchased...which I thought was seriously lame, and for that will get -1 star.
