The editors liked
Great 3D graphics on the go and plenty of games at a variety of prices
Handy new controls
Stable 3D display
Faster loading speeds
Supports amiibo toys
Face-tracking 3D effect works
With far superior 3D experience compared with 3DS and 3DS XL. Second analog stick. Solid build. Faster performance.
The 3D screens are improved by new face-tracking
And the larger size offers a less cramped viewing experience. Internal tweaks and updates add a behind-the-scenes boost
The editors didn't like
New
Colored face buttons might be hard to see in lower light
Screwed-in microSD slot
No charger included
No AC adapter in the box. Second analog stick is stiff and not very precise. 3D mode still isn't perfect
And not for everyone
The poor battery life hasn't improved. Having to remove the back of the console to change the SD card is a poor design choice and the legacy data transfer process is infuriating. Also
There's no AC charger in the box -- you have to buy one separately

Abstract: I've been playing on Nintendo handhelds for a long time. With the ubiquity of smartphones and the proliferation of free apps, younger gamers might not realize that back in the 90s, dedicated portable game consoles were a big deal. The ability to take Mari...

The New Nintendo 3DS XL is the best version of Nintendo's handheld yet, but not everyone will want to upgrade. Ever since the Game Boy became the Game Boy Pocket, Nintendo has made a habit of refining its portable consoles repeatedly, until the...

Abstract: When we saw the glasses-free 3D of the original Nintendo 3DS back in 2011, we were suitably impressed, and then promptly disappointed when the effect kept breaking and left us suffering headaches. Now, Nintendo is back with the New Nintendo 3DS consoles w...

Abstract: Last Friday, Nintendo released the new iteration of their portable hardware, the “New” Nintendo 3DS XL. This new and improved version brings a lot of new features, but is it worth the investment to upgrade? Nintendo has a history of portable hardware revi...

Abstract: The announcement of a completely new 3DS last year came at a somewhat fated moment. Due to my carelessness of leaving my 3DS within reach of my then almost two year old daughter, I was left with a handheld without its Circle Pad nub. Panicked, I was scram...
