They also appreciate the system's ease of use and the functionality of the C-stick. However, some customers express disappointment over the lack of an included charger and find the price point to be relatively high.

    Galaxy Purple 3DS

    I love this 3DS! As I had the original Purple version when it was released, I wanted to continue the trend with the New 3DS. The bigger screen is obviously helpful in being able to see what's happening in-game, and it's just a much more comfortable experience for me. The only bad thing about it, if you can really call it that, is that this color in particular seems awfully hard to come by.

    I also have a regular sized New Nintendo 3DS (the white mario edition) and this one is just as awesome. I don't like carrying this one around in my pocket, but for home use its the perfect device. I highly recommend Animal Crossing New Leaf - I held off for years but finally started playing it and I'm a bit addicted now, even after months of playtime. Pokemon Sun and Moon are also great.

    This is a good upgrade just because of the 3D screen being updated to adapt to the location of your face and not be blurry ..

    The “3D” aspect is amazing how good it is. The only game I’ve played so far has been awesome. Only reason I give it 4 stars instead of 5 is because it literally brings no charger. It says it on the box but you have to have x40 binoculars to read it and the Best Buy guy doesn’t bother telling you to get one. Seriously why wouldn’t a “system” bring a charger. And to top it off it’s a weird charger that nothing in the world has ever used. As you can tell it was prettt annoying going through that. Also recommend getting the 32gb micro sd. Don’t get a 64 cause it has to be formatted or something.

    One must buy a separate power cord supply to charge. One does not come with the system. Stupid! Bought as a gift for my daughter. She loves it. She loves the games she has. And she has spent hours creating custom avatars and other activities without actually playing a game. Its been great for car trips. Battery lasts a long time. If you can find one now, its a very good item to have.

    Faster, LOUDER, and better CPU. Definitely feels like the system that it always should have been in the first place. The stick feels natural and functions well in games.

    Upgrading from an old Nintendo DSI makes me wonder how I ever lived without one. Haven't gotten the chance to really test it out yet, but I am expecting only good things.

    This is an awesome portable system with a great game library. I don't use the 3D mode very often but it definitely works and adds a huge sense of depth to the games.

    Let my kid choose between this and the ps vita. Ultimately this is more kid friendly imo. Very happy with parental controls and ability to monitor what he's doing.

    I purchased this just for MH4U. Works great for MH4U, some would call this my MH4U box, as I also have my Halo box and Destiny box. I'm a one game per system wonder.

    Easy set up, prints from my tablet or my phone. Print quality is very good and fast on documents and good on pictures. Pictures take a little longer but not bad.

    Purchased for our daughter's 5th bday. She had an original DS she loved to take with her everywhere for her to play. After seeing her play and seamlessly transition to a family members 3DS we made the decision to purchase. She has several 3DS Mario games and loves the better graphics and game play available to her. It also plays her DS games so she can keep playing her favorites!

    This console is MUCH better than the normal 3DS! The 3D feature is less bothersome and the games look (and are) great!

    We've had a 3DS XL launch edition which worked fine, however the new model 3DS XL has new features. This was definitely a step up in performance.
