Nintendo 3DS XL announced

Out of no where, Nintendo dropping bombs!

Image

here is a new Nintendo 3DS model in town and its the Nintendo 3DS LL (or XL as we know it). The system as the name suggests is a bigger version of the Nintendo 3DS with new bigger screens and better battery life.

The system will come with a new 4.88″ screen, the normal Nintendo 3DS is 3.53″. The bottom screen of course is bigger too at 4.18″ instead of 3.02″ screen of before. The top screen now comes with a 90% bigger viewing area.

Battery life too is much better at 6-10 hours, more than double that of the smaller model. Unfortunately, there is no second Circle Pad on this model as previously speculated.

Some new things will be included in the box, the first won’t be an AC adapter. Nintendo says they’re removing it to keep costs down. However it does use the same adapter that the DSi and 3DS use. There is now also a 4GB SD card included in the box.

The system is out on July 28th and comes in three, two toned colours which are White, Red x Black and Silver x Black.

This is exactly why I didn't buy a 3DS when they were going for cheap at WOW.
This may be a day 1 depending on pricing.

US details have been announced.

$199.99 USD and August 14th, same day as New Super Mario Bros. 2 comes out.

Hopefully Australia will get it around the same time and for $249.99!

No second stick built in. Apparently you also have to buy a charger seperately too.

No core Pokemon title on the 3DS either which is the only thing that's stopping me from getting one.

EDIT: Pretty sure this belongs in Nintendo Chat instead of Microsoft Chat.
DRM is like kids. The less you have, the better.

Indeed, I hope your Aus pricing estimate is close because that would make it a definite day 1 purchase. :grin:

Yeah the lack of charger is weird, but you can get DSi ones pretty cheap and that's the plug the 3DS and 3DS XL uses.

And Pokemon Black & White and Black & White 2 work great on 3DS. There won't be a 3DS centric Pokemon until 2013.

My girlfriend is really into handhelds and is really looking forward to this. Totally going to have to ninja her old 3ds. She is a little unhappy with the colour schemes though
