Nintendo Handheld Console - White (Nintendo 3DS XL)

Product Information

New 3DS XL (Monster Hunter 4) – Bought at launch. Upon release of the New 3DS and New 3DS XL several months prior, I was willing to upgrade once again, but I didn’t want to buy either of the plain-looking launch XL models. I was also tossing up between this and the Zelda one that had been released at around the same time. I was put off by the Fire Emblem Fates one due to its very bland design. This console has had decal problems very early on as it was peeling off within mere weeks of use (a common problem with this model, apparently), and now it’s virtually unusable thanks to a faulty battery (it can only be used when charging). I would have considered returning it to Nintendo due to the fact that it was dodgy from the get-go, but I had bought it just prior to traveling to Turkey that year (where I had stayed for nearly 6 months), so returning it was out of the question.

If you fancied buying a 3DS but haven’t done so, it’s high time you did. When the 3DS first came out we had our doubts – the launch software line-up was weak, and there were serious questions about how a dedicated handheld could survive in a world of cheap, great smartphone games. Nintendo responded the way it always does: with games. Let’s cut to the chase. The New Nintendo 3DS XL is, without doubt, the best version of the 3DS ever, and the most feature-rich, comfortable and cleverly thought-out Nintendo handheld since the DS Lite. It has a fantastic 3D screen that actually works in 3D, a processor that’s better equipped for handling more advanced 3D games, and a built-in secondary analogue pad that – with some minor reservations – renders the old Circle Pad Pro accessory unnecessary. It’s a brilliant device. Yoshi's New Island 3DS XL confirmed for North America". Joystiq. March 3, 2014 . Retrieved April 17, 2014.

If you have an existing 3DS, you can copy your old games and save files to your new one using a new application that transfers data wirelessly between your 3DS and PC, or you can also migrate them from 3DS to 3DS. However, doing so deletes or makes unusable the data on the old card, meaning you can’t hand your old 3DS on to another family member and leave them to play your old games if you want to carry on playing them on the new 3DS, at least if you buy your games online from Nintendo’s own store. Of course, the second analogue pad isn’t an analogue pad as such, but a weird little nub or nipple, of the sort we still see on Lenovo’s business laptops. Like those, it takes getting used to, and even after a few weeks we don’t find it that intuitive or precise. It’s fine for moving the camera around in Majora’s Mask and Monster Hunter 4, but I really wouldn’t want to try playing shooters with it. In fact, the 3DS’s tilt-and-touch controls are better for precision aiming. Archived copy". Archived from the original on 2013-11-05 . Retrieved 2013-11-05.

Nintendo claims that the cameras on the New 3DS XL work better in low light – handy on a device that’s used mostly indoors – and there seems to be some truth to this. There’s less noise and images are that little bit clearer. All the same, with 0.3-megapixel sensors the quality still isn’t up to much. Although you may get better results with the 3DS’s automated Mii Maker or take slightly better looking 3D snaps, the results will still be far behind even the most basic smartphone camera.

The new processor doesn’t make an awful lot of difference right now. We’re hearing word that some recent games which occasionally struggle to run at a consistently smooth frame rate on the old model have no problems on the New 3DS XL, but the real impact will be felt when we see games that only run on the new model, or with enhanced visuals over existing 3DS consoles. Similarly, the new unit’s support for NFC and Nintendo’s Amiibo figures could be telling, though at the moment there’s not enough software to make it feel worthwhile.

Was experiencing what is known as the “pop” glitch after about two years of use, where the top screen’s brightness exceeds the maximum for reasons unknown, and if the brightness is set to anything higher than 1, the console seems to short-circuit as turn off instantly. The console is still usable, but 3D must be turned off and brightness must be set to 1. When the console is partially folded, the brightness level on the top screen return to normal, however, it is unreliable. Furthermore, due to the brightness on the top screen being so high, the battery life is very poor when not being charged. The rubber casing of the Circle Pad also come loose and split. I might bin this one eventually as it wouldn’t be worth the cost to fix it. It’s a shame too because I have kept all of the original boxes (and inserts) of my consoles.
