    This 3ds is really great. I think everyone on the planet should have one. You can play anywhere you go like Starbucks and the doctors office or anywhere you have 15 minutes.

    I have small hands, so I was worried the XL would be too large. However, due to the sleek design and lightweight build, it actually is easier to hold and use than my original 3DS.

    Be honest, I bought it sole for Mario Games. But I enjoyed the time for playing 3D Mario Games with this machine. Excellent. Meanwhile, the new features are also quite good.

    Upgraded from the original 3ds and love the larger screen, volume and 3d controls, and the added control stick. Transfer was a little tricky, but nintendo.com walked me through

    The games available for the 3DS are plentiful and really good titles, just like you can find on the WiiU. In fact it is pretty much a hand held WiiU with the same operating system and cross compatible titles. Titles like Mario Kart, Smash Bro's, Mario Maker, Monster Hunter, and many more can be found on this awesome little hand held device. Battery life is fairly decent, though I haven't tracked it down to hours yet but I can usually play all day with one charge. Granted with numerous breaks of course. All in all a great time killer and travel companion and would have no problem being the main console in the house.

    In my opinion, this is the best 3DS model. I tried out the New Nintendo 2DSXL, and it was pretty good, but this model is the full package. You can't go wrong with it

    Bought it for the kids but ended up playing more myself! Nintendo has come a long way with these - beautiful graphics and gaming experience if you like the Nintendo type games!

    This system is great for young and old people alike. I don't use the 3D setting on it very often because it hurts my eyes. One downside is that it doesn't come with a charger.

    Great system for all members of the family. Fairly portable, even though it is the largest ds out there. Incredibly easy to setup, and a great variety of games to choose from.

    The updated 3DS XL is a great improvement on the original model. The game library has something for everyone in your family, especially considering the compatibility with DS games and access to the online store. The big flaw everyone points out is that it does not include a charger at purchase.

    Kids love the system, because they love Pokémon. Would have given the product a 5 star but I cannot understand why a power cord wouldn't be supplied. If it were a common plug like a micro usb I guess I could understand but it is not. It is a proprietary plug, why do I have to buy it separately?
