In the realm of gaming, the player always wants that slight edge. The fastest processor, the most responsive controller, the brightest and sharpest screen. With these things in mind Nintendo released their new and improved 3DS XL system, called easily enough the New 3DS XL.
This system is unique for a few reasons, including more gaming power, faster hardware, improved 3D experience, and even a few new buttons thrown into the mix for more precise control. The 3D XL has been improved upon with face tracking abilities, so now the 3D view the player gets from having the system right in front of them can be seen when not in exactly the right place, adding to both the realism of the 3D as well as the sharpness of the picture.
In addition to the 3D the buttons added is a new c-stick, which acts as a sort of joy stick but is smaller and flat, as well as the addition of 2 shoulder buttons. This brings the grand total to two per shoulder, which is awesome. For those of you who are enjoying the new amiibo’s (and let’s face it who isn’t?) there is built in amiibo support. Something to keep in mind is the new 3DS XL is the future, so new games will support only the new system. So far one of the stellar titles available exclusive to this system is Xenoblade Chronicles 3D, which is an incredible game. (Have you read my review?)
It also supports easy data sharing (You can transfer your photos, music, and other files between a PC and your system’s microSDHC card via a wireless network. No need to remove the microSDHC card! *as per Nintento) and has better browsing (*The new-and-improved Internet browser lets you watch videos and surf the Web with ease. You can even use the ZL/ZR buttons to switch tabs or zoom in with the C stick).
The new 3DS XL retails for $199.99 on sites like Nintendo and is available everywhere fine games are sold.
My daughters used to love their gaming systems when they were younger. My grandsons haven’t quite gotten into them yet but I’m sure they will with time. This sounds great!
hey that sounds like an awesome advanced game.
This sounds like it would be a totally awesome system for my nephew who loves playing games. I love that it supports the data sharing. He would so love this Nintendo 3DS XL. Thanks for sharing.
My son is a huge gamer and loves his! I’ll have to ask him if he knows about the newest version.
I know a couple of people who are really into gaming. I will definitely be telling them about this.
that looks awesome
I know my daughters would love having this new gaming system! They sometimes prefer the games offered on a DS.
I was just looking at my Nintendo 3DS this morning and thinking to myself that its been a while since I used it. I should check out the new version. Sounds great!
