    My brother bought this for himself and I think it's really worth the money. It's 3D and all the fun games are on there. I play it time to time and really like it.

    Was trying to decide between a 2DS and 3DS for my son for Christmas. Glad I went with this he loves it. Only bad thing is it does not include a charging cable, must be purchased separately!

    My son loves his new 3ds xl he plays it a lot, only confused part was the Amiibo download as it took 4 updates to finally get it to work properly other than that it works great & this 1 should last a very long time.

    Despite little differences on the surface, the new 3DS XL shows significant improvement from the first version; 3D is much clearer and comfortable to play, and games flow much nicer. Really worth making the upgrade!

    Huge Upgrade

    This is by far the best 3ds yet! Except for the stupid name that only gamers understand everything about this 3ds is better! Break out your old games and see the difference between the 3d quality alone. One warning BE CAREFUL transferring data. I broke out the directions and still lost all my content. It's likely your current 3ds has an SD card and the new one has a microSD card, so you have to go through a series of steps to get it transferred. Mine seemed to work fine, but booted up the new one and everything was gone. Luckily you can re download your games from the App Store. I had 39 downloads so it took hours nut I got most of my games back! After that hiccup I was stunned at how the quality of the screen is. Definitely worth an upgrade.

    The Nintendo 3DS is already one of my favorite handhelds and, for the longest time, I simply didn't think an upgrade was necessary. However, my first day with the New 3DS XL proved me wrong. The improved 3D effect is even better than before and really makes games pop, the screen is big and bright and the whole system runs faster. All in all, I simply can't go back to the old system after spending a little time with the new. I can't recommend this hardware revision enough!

    I purchased to play some N64 games re-released on the 3ds and it has done what I expected. What I did not realize (yes it is on the box, but would never thought to have looked) was that it does not come with a charger. I guess Nintendo assumes you already own an older version of the 3DS. I did not. So know if this is your first one, pick up a charger too.

    I have to admit I have not been able to put my DS down. Love the Red limited ed. Color but didnt appreciate that it didnt come with a charger. I had to buy the charger at Game Stop but all that aside im very happy.

    The screen is bigger, clearer and the battery life lasts much longer than the previous one. Only thing, is you need to keep your previous charger because it does not come with one. Good thing she kept hers. :)

    This new 3DS is great! You do not have to hold it at just the right angel to get the 3D affect. It moves with you. Faster downloads. Clear picture. Love all the improvements they have done. Definitely recommend!

    Great product. My daughter has epilepsy so the ability to turn off the 3d for her is great. while my son and turn it back on to play with 3d no problem. Face tracking also makes it much easier to play in 3d.

    Pre-Ordered the new 3DS because I well, I wanted it. Well, the 3d is a lot more stable than the previous 3ds systems, and the C-stick really does make game play a lot smoother (for example, with Monster Hunter)

    The Nintendo 3DSXL (New) is a great gaming device. The improved 3D is quite good and the selection of games is impressive. The device will allow you to play regular DS games so no worries about older titles.

    This 3DS has face tracking 3D, a better internet browser with the option to see videos in 3D, dual core processor which allows games to load quickly and faster eshop downloads. Ultimately the best 3DS to date.

    This is a great system with a nice library of games. No glasses for 3D is great. Some extra buttons vs regular 3DS. Better specs. Some exclusive games.
