Customer Ratings & Reviews

Love the design, color, screen size, and everything.

I love blue and purple colors on New Nintendo 3DS XL and look so great! I love it! Look like heaven in space are amazing. I bought this system on sale and come with Firmware 11.4. It don't come in charger, don't forget buy it. I already have 3 x USB charger and my old 2 x 3DS XL charger for backup. But I use USB charger more often and easy to plug in USB port from computer, videophone, PS4 system, and much more. I already own Black New Nintendo 3DS XL from Walmart, still work so far and still on Firmware 9.0. It can play DS games without problems. I heard New 2DS XL battery is more short like about 6 hours. New 3DS XL battery can run up to 11 hours, similar to PS4 controller running about 11 hours are more better than other weak battery. MicroSD 64 GB and above will work on this system, but you have to reformat to change EXFAT to FAT32 to make work for this system able to read it without problems. To remove SD card, just push then push. Similar to Nintendo Wii system SD card push to push.

Having owned a GameBoy Color, GAmeBoy Advanced, and then the DS Lite, I was used to smaller sized hand-helds. But the 3DS isn't as complicated as I thought. Turning the #d al the way up might mess with your eyes but the experience overall is well worth it. And it gets YouTube and Netflix now! Two thumbs up.

My daughter and I love this new 3DS. The two best features by far are the C-stick (which is WAY better than I thought it would be) and the 3D (which is light years past the old 3D). It is snappier, I like the new layout of the buttons, and it will play new games exclusive to it (which will increase over time).

I got a new 3ds shortly after Monster Hunter 4U came out and I comfortably can say that Nintendo has greatly improved its technology and created a wonderful portable gaming console. Im currently waiting for Majora's Mask and I cant wait! The battery life is great and the 3d option doesnt hurt my eyes at all!

Definitely the best 3DS Nintendo has released, I would recommend this product to everyone. The best thing about the New 3DS XL is that the camera follows your head around, so it can help you adjust the screen to where your head goes. Love it so far!

With the ever increasing functionality of everything electronic these days, the new 3DS is no exception. This isn't just a simple gaming device. There is a plethora of applications such Netflix and Youtube. You can browse the internet as well. Having never owned the previous model 3DS, I can't give a great comparison. But the 3D effect works fantastic on the new 3DS (which I hear was a problem with the previous model). With quality titles such as Monster Hunter and Super Smash Bros., this console is guaranteed to entertain you for hours. I've own a Vita as well and I am already enjoying the 3DS library way more. The only con I have is the lack of a charger.

I upgrade from a regular 3DS to this "new" version. I can't speak for the difference between this one and the other XL but this is a great system. I love the face tracking 3D and the thumbstick makes certain games much easier

Pros: Faster load times than the original 3ds, better 3d, game library, built in amiibo support, thumb pad Con: The new location of the power button is terrible. Several times during gameplay I've accidentally hit the power button with my middle finger. I guess maybe it's because my hands are so large, but it's annoying. It has cost me several hours of gameplay

I love the new 3DS. The size is great and the games load very well. The only reason I gave 4 out of 5 stars is because it does not come with an ac adapter! I even asked the guy at the store if I needed anything else and he said that was all. I dont mind paying for the $10 adapter however the extra trip to the store didnt make me happy. Otherwise great system.

I got this for myself when this first came out and I haven't stopped playing it since. It's great for travel, long rides, plane trips, etc. I had the DS Lite and it was definitely time for an upgrade. I don't use the 3D too much but the few times I tried it, it works really good. I love the bigger screen because it's easier to play my games. I also play some of the older DS games on here. Highly recommended. I am 30 but still love playing games on my 3DS.

I bought this for my 20 yr old son. He had the original Nintendo DS 10 yrs ago and wanted an upgrade. He loved the new 3DS XL with larger screen and more features. Would recommend for all ages.

I have the original 3DS console, and love the games, but I needed something a little bigger to accommodate my hands, but the original XL didn't seem like enough of an upgrade. This New 3DS XL definitely is! I never played with the 3D on until now. The extra control stick nob is perfect! Definitely worth it for old and new 3DS gamers alike.

Had a 2DS and bought the NEW 3DS. It is a very big improvement. The 3D is visible at a pretty wide viewing angle and the game play feel and response is real nice and consistent

Love the new 3DS. Have no complaints about it.. EXCEPT the fact that it no longer comes with a charger inside the box.. I almost left Best Buy without knowing that the 3DS I just purchased did not come with an AC Adapter.. Then had to run back to the game aisle to pick up a $15 charger..

This system is a big step up from the old 3DS. It's larger so it fits my hands (may not fit comfortably in a child's hands though) and the head tracking works much better, although it is a bit iffy when I wear my glasses. Turning down the 3D seems to help. The system is quite sturdy, and came with no blemishes or dings, however the back battery plate "Creaked" when any pressure was applied. This was remidied by removing and screwing it back in firmly. While I like the MicroSd card slot, I dislike having to remove the case to access it. Thankfully Nintendo included a WiFi management app.

The 3D is very much improved so I actually use it now. The loading speed is also faster than the 3DS XL's. The amiibo compatibility works great as well.

This new 3DS was for my daughter and she loves it so much. I saw that the 3D effect is awesome, the sound is good enough. You don't need 3D glasses.

So I bought the New Nintendo 3DS from Best Buy 1 week after launch after owning a Zelda Link Between Worlds LE 3DS XL and I have to admit, I am very pleased with my purchase. The build quality is better, the buttons feel better and the added C stick works well and is good addition. Also the 3D is light years ahead of the original 3DS XL's. I NEVER used 3D in the past, it would hurt my eyes and it was too blurry and you had to have it in a "death grip" before. Now, playing Zelda Majoras Mask I dont turn it off.

Just can't wait to hold it in my hands! I tried this baby at a selected retailer and loved the C stick and the improved 3D.
