Nintendo - 3DS or 3DS XL? - View Post

So I've been thinking of getting myself another 3ds but I'm not sure whether I should get the cheaper original or the newer XL. I left the one I currently own with my brother so he can play it while I'm away at college. However, this year seems like it's going to be a great one for 3ds owners and I simply need my own 3ds! I've asked my friends which one I should buy and they all said to get the original 3ds, with the main reason being that the larger screen causes games to look more pixelated. Is this true? I've tried NSMB2 on an XL at a store before but I didn't notice anything. There is also the chance that Nintendo will release another revision sometime in the near future. Should I just wait for that instead? What do you guys think?
