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

  • Smoother 3D experience, Great new C-Stick and controls, Better battery life
  • Still a bit chunky, Face tracking has a few flaws, Removes the hard Wireless on/off switch
  • I already have a 3DS. One of the original ones, mind you, but it's still a 3DS. I love it to bits for playing all of the Pokemon my tiny brain can handle. I've been told that moving from the original 3DS to something like the 3DS XL is a revelation. I hel...

  • Abstract:  Nintendo's New 3DS XL has more in common with existing 3DS systems than it might want to admit, but it's still a solid upgrade option for older 3DS owners.It's been a while since I'd laid down any cash on a new Nintendo portable.That in itself speaks volu...

  • Second directional stick added, Face tracking increases 3D viewing angles, Faster processor
  • Cstick feels overly firm and inaccurate, No charger included in the box, No games utilise the extra power
  • If you don't already own a 3DS this new version is a no brainer. It's sleeker, the 3D is improved and it will operate forthcoming software its predecessors cannot. The 3DS really is the best handheld console on the market, and its software line-up featur...

  Published: 2014-11-27, Author: Tim , review by: brisbanetimes.com.au

  • Abstract:  The New 3DS XL features a second stick about the face buttons, a hint of colour and a refined layout.While previously any movement of your head or the system would cause uncomfortable blurring or a complete loss of the effect, the new tech uses facial rec...

  • Incredible game library, Much improved 3D, Faster processor is great,
  • Nintendo's online system needs work, Interface still a little clunky, Awful camera,
  • If you've already got a 3DS XL, the New 3DS XL is worth considering. If you're still rocking an original 3DS, the New 3DS models are almost a must-have upgrade. The two new models look better, run faster and are actually make 3D worth using. Despite the ...

  • Abstract:  The New 3DS might not look much different from its predecessor at first glance, but it's a combination of several small hardware changes that makes this hand-held gaming console everything the original 3DS should have been. We explain in our New 3DS...

  • Excellent glasses-free 3D, New guts theoretically promise more technically impressive games, Existing 3DS catalog enhanced by new improvements
  • No proprietary cord for charging out of the box included, Extra tools required to swap storage cards, Convoluted system transfer process from older models
  • What we're left with is a mid-generation upgrade that isn't quite essential, but it could be at some point in the future. If you've never owned a 3DS before, this is the one to get. And if you're mulling an upgrade, there are a lot of attractive features...

  • The 3D is a bit better, Speedier processor for a slightly slicker experience, Enhanced build and layout, Great games
  • Still dated in terms of tech, New 3D isn't perfect, Charger isn't included. Seriously
  • The hardcore, regular 3DS player will definitely appreciate the differences The New Nintendo 3DS XL isn't a dramatic upgrade over the standard 3DS XL model, but it's not meant to be – it's the half-generation improvement, and in that regard, it shows val...
