Nice! I think the New XL is perfect for newcomers and 3DS/ 2DS owners. Good review.

I'm staying with my ALBW XL, where only the bottom is black and looks lovely. The New only attracts me due to the better 3D, other than that not really. I'm buying the amiibo adapter - hopefully comes in different colors.

I have the OG XL too. If I were you I'd go to a game store where there's a trial NN3DS XL out in display and see if the change is enough to buy a new one. See if the other features plus the sharper graphics are enough to double dip!

I decided it's not enough. The C stick and better 3D is great but I don't feel I need it. The amiibo adapter is coming anyway.I'm also the type of person that would pay £50 extra for the exact same thing if I liked the colour of one version better, and I think nothing so far beats the ALBW sleek design. (MM 3D has black on inside and I dislike it.)

 

I wish I would just see the better 3D for myself but no store in my area has a trail one out.

"Really no other use for it besides gaming."
I wouldn't even consider that a con myself. If I need to do anything other than gaming on a portable device, I use my phone.

Well I can't be bias. I am rating it for Hardcore gamers and Casuals alike. Also I was putting myself out of my Nintendo fanboy shoes... In them i'd rate it an 11/10...

Especially in Brazil where the NN3DS XL MM3D LE must be really priced as if it's a Gold Bar...

I dunno about the Limited Edition, but I'm getting Majora's Mask 3D for the same price as I would had Nintendo not stopped officially releasing stuff here. The big problem is, I'm having to wait a bit, but I'm probably getting it sooner rather than later.

But nah, I think the New 3DS is going to cost about as much as the 3DS XL did, really. But as much as I want it, it's going to be a Christmas thing at earliest for me - and even then I'm not sure if I can get it this year.

I would imagine it still be very expensive in Brazil nontheless. I'm guessing the equivilent of $400 in Brazilian Real....



Waiting for my OG black 3DS to finish transferring right now, and it's definitely taking longer than 45 min.

Probably my biggest con, although it was expected. :/

How much data are you transferring?

Also I had them close to each other and pretty close to a Interent Connection. Maybe that will help?

Funny enough, my OG system SD card is only about 1.1 GB full. ^_^

I think it's been going for about 35 minutes now but still on Part 1 of 6 (SD card data). It's nearly at the 75% marker, and they're both lined up next to each other.



Dat Majora's Mask 3DS
Soo haaawwwtttt

the first step is the LONGEST step. Usually it takes about 15-20 minutes to transfer the other 5.
