Forums - Nintendo Discussion - Just upgraded to N3DS XL - my thoughts

Congrats on the purchase! The N3DS XL is awesome. Glad to see you're enjoying ALBW, I think it's the best game on the system no doubt. Seems like you're on the right trail with the backlog of games you listed. Super Mario 3D Land and Pokémon X/Y in particular are great. If you're a big Zelda fan, you should totally check out Ocarina of Time and Majora's Mask 3D, they are both phenomenal upgrades to stellar games.

I said this since last year when I traded in my old 3DS for a N3DS: the N3DS is a worth purchase if you purchased the 3DS at launch and/or have still to play some games on the system. The Improved online makes it so that if your internet connection is decent you can watch 3D videos/use the 3DS as a music player :v

I kind of wish I had waited just a bit longer and got the N3DS but I quite enjoy my 3DSXL. It's not as big a jump for me so I probably won't get it unless they lock a game I really need :(



Great for you. The News 3ds XL is excellent, and it supports better flash cards too.

I prefer the smaller, regular model, but both works much better than the previous models.

I just can´t upgrade yet because those little devices are extremely expensive in my country



I upgraded a few weeks ago myself. Needing to unscrew the back panel to get to the microSD card slot was annoying, not to mention having to buy a microSD card to begin with. Why didn't it just use SD as well? And it's harder to sell your old 3DS because the N3DS doesn't come with a charger, so you have to explain that to the person you're selling to. They either have to buy their own, or you give them one and go buy one yourself. I have yet to play a dual-analog game (even though I own Kid Icarus and Monster Hunter 4), but man, that second circle pad sure is stiff. I hope it works as well as I thought it would. At least the battery is far, far better than on the OG 3DS. Now I don't have to charge it every half hour.

Overall, I give it a C. Great if you don't have one already, but probably not worth it if you do or don't have any games that would benefit from it.
