This is kind of funny. OP reads a bit like, "It's not better enough so I'll keep using the old one."

I mean you say the battery sucks but the New XL battery lasts way longer than the original one.

Personally I think it's obvious that the New models are straight-up black magic. That new 3D effect is some freaky shit. They made the screens larger (on regular model) yet the battery lasts longer. The system is very slightly larger yet it weighs less. They put some kind of new processor in there or some shit and suddenly loading times are gone and you can play Xenoblade of all things looking almost as good as it looked on Wii. I don't know what kind of bizarre wiccan ritual Nintendo performed on this thing but I can't wait to see what kind of hellspawn the NX is.


I said it was better but I'll use my old 3DS for games that use the traditonal FPS/Right stick aim configuration.  There aren't many games like that so I'm good.  Played a lot of games with it--NSMB2, 3D Land, Art of Balance, Starfox 64, Majora's Mask, Street Fighter, etc just to test it out.  Battery is better but still sucks.  I'll be buying Xenoblade on day one, even though I have the Wii version.

I calls 'em like I sees 'em.  Maybe I'll get used to it but I gave it several days before making this thread.  It's just an opinion, though.  Nothing set in stone.
