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. The SD card's accessibility is another area where some users have voiced concerns.

    Bought this for my 11 year old daughter. My 3 year old took it over! Seriously, everyone really enjoys playing with their new DS.

    The colors are limited for the NEW 3ds xl but this is one of the better ones. This red is more like a wine red and it's beautiful! looks better than the Majora's Mask Limited edition!

    Nintendo has done it again, proving once again that they are the masters of handheld gaming. The added Amiibo support combined with the "C" stick, make this the greatest handheld yet.

    Haven't had a DS since the lite release, and this was a great jump back in point. The tracking 3D works well, and the new c stick is pretty awesome. Can't wait for a new Mario Kart.

    Compared to the older models of 3DS, the newest model is amazing in price and quality of product. Very durable if bought for a kid, dropped it many times and it still works.

    Even though stock isn't the best right now, the console is still fantastic! Compared to the smaller one with the face plates, the XL model is preferred due to the bigger screens and the better chance for an IPS (top quality) screen(s). I know this following trait but I feel it's necessary to include: there is no charger, they are cheap anyways and all chargers since the DSi still work! Great buy!

    This New 3ds is a great console..but why was it not marketed better? It felt like a secret that only a few people knew about. The new stabilizing 3d function worked better than I imagined and I can't wait to see what games will be exclusive to this model. I just wish this was as well received as it was in Japan

    this device takes gaming to the next level, easy going 3d graphics, good battery life and excellent controls, just make sure to buy the charging cable witch its sold separately.

    I enjoy it and wanted it for Mario brothers but the classic game you buy at the store is not the original. Also it does not come with a charger. I found this very odd and a little frustrating. I don't really play it long because it does not sit well in my hands for game play. It's nice and enjoyable.

    After a year in Japan only, Nintendo finally released an American version of the New 3DS Pikachu Edition console. It's color and design are vibrant and the new console is an upgrade in control and cpu power to play newer demanding games like the Fire Emblem games and the SNES virtual console games. If you can find it, pick it up since its possibly going to be a limited collectible from here on out.

    Larger screen is great but still lightweight and small enough to truly be portable. Plays all my old games as well as current releases. Great product and lot's of fun!

    This is our first entry into the DS line for our kids. Super happy with the build quality and playablity. Kids have been content with Mario Kart 7. Would highly recommend.

    System size is definitely better. With a circle pad pro,you'll be having a better experience in games like Majoras Mask and Snake Eater 3D.However battery life is about 6 hours.

    One of the best purchases I have ever made! I wasn't too sure I would enjoy it when I bought it, but even the included software (Mii Plaza) is a lot of fun. Highly recommended.
