I love my 3DS XL. The larger screen size makes it easier to see everything. I never use the 3D feature. I think it's a bit gimmicky. But besides that, I love this. I bought it to play Animal Crossing New Leaf.

I have a DS Lite and finally upgraded after seeing the huge screen! The 3D is amazing, and the game library today is really solid- Mario 3d, ocarina of time, kid Icarus and Zelda totally justify the system.

So, I like the size and I like how it plays.
The screen is better in 2D, because unless your eyes are perfectly spaced apart based on what the engineers designed it for, and you are looking at it straight on with no angle, then you probably won't get a perfect 3D experience.
I am a little disappointed that you can't set up multiple users on the game. This is annoying because I would like for my wife and I to be able to switch between profiles.

No matter how popular x-box or ps4 is, I still love ds so bad. Nintendo's classic games are immortal.

I bought this 3DS on sale. The unbeatable price is a steal. The two-screen interface totally beat the experience from other devices or a smartphone, with the XL's extra screen real estate to boot. The 3DS XL is also backwards-compatible with my older DS games. Overall, I am very satisfied with this purchase.

This is an amazing system. One of Nintendo's best if not the best. The fact that it is portable and still able to deliver such amazing game play will blow your mind. With a bigger screen is just more reason to get this. You will not go wrong in getting this.

Best videogame handheld ever

Its the best.
If you consider the DS games, which can be played here, you have the best handheld ever.
Simple as that.
The only problem is the 3d. It could be better. When it works is marvelous, but they could improve it in future interations.

Purchased the 3DS XL as an upgrade for my son's 3DS. He loves the bigger screen and it does everything he already enjoyed about the 3DS. The system is still easy for him to carry around despite the larger size. Perfect for entertainment on long drives.

Son was asking for this for his birthday. Already had the 3 DS but he wanted the larger screen. He loves his gift and hasn't put it down for a minute. Quality is perfect. The only problem is it is difficult to find cases to help protect the XL

This was purchased for my 6 year old for Christmas, and he loves it. I have played a few games on it and I have no complaints, The large screen is so much nicer then the DS Lite he already had. Keeps him occupied, and can play all DS games.

The Coolest Handheld gaming system

This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.
I love my new Nintendo 3dsxl. It is hands down the coolest gaming system I have ever had. There are great games with fantastic graphics that I really enjoy playing. I bought it to kill time between classes at the University and I have yet to come across any reasons to regret my purchase. One thing that I'm not overly fond of is how expensive the games are for this device. Pretty much any games that are any good cost about $40. I have only 3 games and already spent well over $120! Other than that, I love the device and would definitely say that spending the little extra for the XL version is definitely worth it.

I love this product. It is durable, has great battery life and provides hours of enjoyment. Not to mention it is backward compatible with the DS, DSi, and I believe gameboy advanced.
