5.0 out of 5 stars Huge upgrade from regular 3ds!
Reviewed in Canada on November 18, 2016

Had a regular red 3ds for many many years and stopped using it because it would give me cramps in my (large) hands. Love the size, no more cramps! Sleek design, the colour does look better in person (not a fan of the yellow/green). Only minor complaint is that the stylus is very short and doesn't sit right in my hand at all.

This made my 8 year old very, very happy. The 3D is impressive, not requiring glasses. In addition, Amazon prices matched all of the major tech stores at the time, and included free shipping! We ordered the USB style charger so we could charge it in the car, during our road trip.
One thing other reviewers didn't warn me about, that I will share with you, is the half-hour exercise of signing up for an account so that I could download a free YouTube app. There was also a hidden nominal credit card charge in there as part of their verification. Really, this is a shameless cash grab and harvesting of personal information that was 30 minutes of my life I won't get back! And, I type quickly. Be warned - set aside time for this. It isn't an out-the-door activity.

LOVE this 3DS! My last portable game device was a GameBoy Color (it's been a while!) and I'm amazed how much portable video games can do now. The two screens is really interesting to work with: usually I just use the top one, but the bottom one is touch-screen so it's very handy in certain games. I'm not a fan of the 3D feature--just keep it turned off--so fortunately there's the option to disable it. The colour of this version is gorgeous, it's so great having a throw-back game on there already loaded (Super Mario World has always been a favourite of mine!), and the option of the C-stick vs the C-pad is convenient and well designed. Battery has lasted about 5 hours of continuous use, which is more than I personally need. No AC adapter, but it's only $15 to buy if you shop around.

I would absolutely recommend this product to anyone looking for a portable game device, especially if you're a fan of Mario, Zelda, Pokemon and Final Fantasy :)

I am utterly really p****d off with this purchase the thing only has a 4gb memory card and the screws on the back came stripped straight outta the factory so after buying a larger memory card I couldn't even use it.

I'm gonna try to return it but i don't know what gonna happen with the 100 dollars I put into my Nintendo account on it. I also bought a bunch of stupid accessories for it like screen protector that's already on it or the cases and stuff ill most likely have to buy another one or suffer with this one grrrr this is so frustrating Nintendo never fails to screw you over in one way or the other.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great for Gaming on the Go! But no AC wi-fi....
Reviewed in the United States on December 8, 2016
Verified Purchase
Some background before we begin: I'm a PC gamer, mainly, and this was my first hand-held console purchase since the GameBoy. That said, my expectations are pretty high from a performance and usability standpoint.

I was really unsure if I would like the 3DS XL before it arrived. After updating the system (which can be painfully slow, compared to the faster speeds some may be used to on a wired connection on other consoles or computers), I was really pleasantly surprised about how much I ended up liking this thing, even with all of it's pitfalls (more on those later).

Look and Feel:
The Lime Green edition 3DS XL I got came with Super Mario World pre-installed, which was a nice bonus. It looks absolutely fantastic. The black interior that you'll be looking at most of the time is subtle, but when paired with the lime green skin on this model, the combination really makes it look like a more premium device rather than just a toy. It's a bit thinner than I expected, and because of this, holding it can be sort of awkward in some situations (laying down on the couch or in bed trying to play, for example). Holding this while sitting up is not much if a problem, and I found the joystick and button configuration to be quite comfortable. I have not yet encountered a game that relies heavily on the L and R triggers, but from what I can tell, I hope I don't encounter one any time soon. The bumpers on this thing are placed somewhat awkwardly and it makes using them less than pleasant. Luckily, no game that I own uses these and I don't see many FPS-type games for this platform, so I won't ding the unit for this. Honestly, not much can be done about the placement of these bumpers anyway.

The build quality is quite nice as well. It's still a plastic construction, but feels like it will hold up well if I take care of it.

Usability (Software, UI, App Store, etc):
I came to this platform without really knowing what to expect from a UI or app store perspective. First, the UI is incredibly simple on this device, which I find to be a plus. The UI doesn't have much room for power users, but it does it's job well enough. I'm pretty surprised that Nintendo didn't do more here to beautify the interface, but whatever. It works just fine and is so simple, a child could use it, which is the point I suppose.

The app store is alright, but has limited sort and filter options when trying to find an app/game but aren't exactly sure what you want. I had this problem when trying to find out what apps ran on the 3DS, but wasn't able to filter down very well to see the type of app that I wanted.

Let me now move on to my experience using this little thing: I love it, despite the minor pitfalls I mentioned about (and more that I will mention below). Gaming on this thing and playing titles in 3D is a real treat. It's super small, portable, and the quality of games out for this device is rather higher than I expected. The first game I played was Zelda: A Link Between Worlds and I absolutely loved it. I never expected to put 40+ hours into a handheld game so quickly. The social options are extremely limited on this device, but that's okay. For me, the 3DS is all about playing great games, classics and otherwise, by myself and enjoying that single player experience. This console definitely delivers on that promise of simplicity.

To wrap up:

PROS:
- Decent display
- Battery life is decent
- Games for this console are fun!
- Looks and feels wonderful

CONS:
- No AC wi-fi. What. The. Heck. By now, this needs to be a standard. The download speeds that I get on this device for even the smallest apps is extremely slow on the 2.4 Ghz band. My wireless network functions extremely well on the 5Ghz band, but unfortunately, this device will only function on 2.4. Keep that in mind if you have a congested 2.4 network like I do, since all of that bandwidth is now split up between even more devices.
- No power-user options, and a lack of social features that I'm used to on playstation and PC (such as chat parties and easy ways to find friends)

Excellent device. Would recommend for anyone looking to game on a budget, or on the go.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Portable, make sure you buy a charger as well
Reviewed in the United States on August 8, 2017

I had a Lime Green Game Boy Advance SP as a kid, so this called out to me the moment I saw it and managed to grab it at MSRP. Standard 3DS fare (fantastic) in terms of game library, and this was absolutely worth it. I see that scalpers have gotten their hands on this and are charging WAY over the 199 MSRP that is recommended, which is unfortunate. Don't pay more than 199 either - scalpers are disgusting, but I'm not going to let that taint this review.

Pros-
- Game library - The 3DS has developed an extensive library of games over the years, all of which is available on the eShop, which is a great touch.
- Graphics - The 3DS has aged surprisingly well. For a six year old system, it feels like it's very well keeping up with the times. Granted, the New 3DS XL is the third iteration of the 3DS.
- Screen quality is fantastic. There have been massive improvements since the original 3DS back in 2011.
- This one includes Super Mario World, which is cool. Nostalgia factor is real. If you're not getting Lime Green, Super Mario World is like 7 bucks for download.
- Battery Life is good, so long as you leave 3D off. I usually get around 6 hours playing in 2D, depending on the game, brightness and volume.
- Normally I can't STAND glossy finishes on systems (especially portables), but the way this one is done is really good. The Lime Green finish does a great job concealing fingerprints and dust. I've had this for about ten months now and even normal wear and tear isn't nearly as visible. Still though - DEATH TO GLOSSY FINISHES.

Meh-
The 3D. It was a nifty feature when the 3DS came out, but it's more of a gimmick than anything now. The face tracking 3D helps make it easier to play in that mode, but it sucks down the battery.

Cons-
- Does not include a charger. I can't fathom what the reason was for not including one. Fortunately, I was "upgrading" from a launch Red New 3DS XL and had an extra, but that doesn't excuse the issue. Again, Nintendo addressed this with the New 2DS XL, which is nice.
- Internal Storage is... not a thing. You almost HAVE to get a bigger SD card if you're going to have any considerable game library downloaded to the system. It does include a smaller card (4GB if memory serves), which works for storing save data and update data.
- Only accepts SDHC MicroSD cards - make sure you get one of these or you'll have issues - MicroSD XC cards might have issues on here so you can't get the largest capacity ones.
- Off the last con, the MicroSD is a giant pain to get at. You have to remove the back cover from the system, which requires the use of what I can only guess to be the world's smallest screwdriver. This is addressed with the 2DS XL to my understanding, which is nice.

I PURCHASED ($199) the Special Edition Lime Green 3DS XL for my granddaughter to take on her first super-long road trip. In hopes of keeping her entertained for at least part of the ride.

The Special Edition comes with Super Mario World preloaded. It does NOT come with an AC adapter. This must be purchased separately. I purchased the "Universal Charge Kit." (Link below) First thing I did upon arrival was open it to make sure it was intact. Then I plugged it up to charge. Knowing it would need to be 100% when she opened it. The 3DSXL is leaps and bounds above the original handheld DS from years ago. The screen resolution is much better. Even 2ds games that do not utilize 3D are crisper and more defined. I like being able to control the 3D.]
It's also fast. Downloading and streaming I experienced no lagging behavior whatsoever. I set up the Wi-fi and parental controls in a matter of minutes. It comes with a 4gb micro-SD card installed. E*store purchases fill this up quickly! Getting to it caused me to add a few dollars to the 'swear jar.' It's actually located under the battety. It requires 4q'a TINY screwdriver *(if I ever find the screwdriver that fits I'm buying three.)
DKC was one of my all time favorites. It looks amazing! Playing Yoshi's Island I got to experience holding the DS like a steering wheel to control the in-game character. It's incredibly accurate.

It didn't take long for my granddaughter to find lots of cool stuff to do. Watching YouTube videos, Netflix, creating her mini mii-family, listening to music and taking pictures.

The 3DSXL plays all the old 2ds games and any new game. It looks great. It's loads of fun. It's portable. If you love Nintendo you'll love the DSXL. My granddaughter loves Donkey Kong almost as much as Nana now. We have a great time playing together and she has fun riding in the car. No matter how long the trip.
I recommend the 3DS xl excitedly and without reservation..

5.0 out of 5 stars Best hand held system ever!
Reviewed in the United States on December 24, 2016

Overall a really satisfying purchase with one little gripe, see below.

I was on the fence about buying the new 3ds XL. My last hand held was the original Gameboy in all its monochrome glory. (I always regretted not getting the Gameboy advance SP.)

I can honestly say, the New 3DS XL is worth every penny. It's pixel for pixel the most beautiful way to play your classic favorites downloaded from the eShop. I've played a few levels of Super Mario World, A Link To The Past, and Super Metroid.

Being that its backwards-compatible with older DS and 3DS games, there is a huge library of games available. (I was mostly interested in A Link Between Worlds which beautifully recreates the world of A Link to the Past.)

I watched quite a few YouTube reviews comparing the various models of DSs and 3DSs and 3DS XLs and they overall favored the XL for its larger screen, and being larger it was easier to hold. I really glad I got the XL version. I love that this edition comes with Super Mario World pre-installed.

I do have one gripe: the box does NOT include the proprietary charger!! I didn't realize this and so was only able to play for about a few hours and do a system update before it ran out of juice. Annoying to say the least.

I would suggest also getting the Amazon Basics brand of carrying case. It's really well made and only costs about $10. Well worth it to protect your investment. The reddish version contrasts nicely with this lime green case of this model of the New 3DS XL.

If your on the fence, just get it. It's basically the perfection of hand held gaming.
