    As with the DS, DS-XL, 3DS, the 3DS XL takes a good product and makes it better. I have no complaints about the 3DS XL except that it doesn't come with a power cord charger so it must be purchased separately. The belief is that you'll have one from previous game consoles but kids lose them, pets chew them up, etc. If no one tells buyer there is no power cord charger included, it can be a real problem once you get home.

    This isn't a camera, it's a game system with a poor excuse for a camera! Great games though, highly recommend this over Wii U

    Upgraded from standard DSi model. The larger screens of the 3ds XL are great. The lack of a charger was a little shocking but it shares the same charger as my DSi so it wasn't a biggy for me. (If you have to buy one there about $10-12 so that's not bad). Also glad to see my favorite N64 games remastered for the 3DS.

    This system is possibly the best in the DS line. The 3D has been improved from its predecessors, and it has faster load times and better visuals than its predecessors. There are plenty of games on the Nintendo 3DS and a lot more coming, truly one of the best systems Nintendo has released.

    Compared to the first XL I had, the 'New" XL is a great upgrade for me. I'd recommend it to anyone. It's worth the upgrade.

    Very user friendly. I'm not super knowledgeable when it comes to video games, but this has been very easy and fun to use! The battery lasts a long time- I turned the 3D function off so it probably lasts longer because of that. My only issue is I wish it came with a charger- you have to buy that separately.

    My family and I love it! I play Mario on it, my wife plays Zelda and my kids play everything! It works great and has a nice feel to it in your hands. My only complaint is that I wish it was a little bigger. For having XL in the name it doesn't seem that big but as compared to the previous model I guess it is.
