Today Nintendo announced that they will be releasing a new console - the 3DSXL.
It will be released on the 28th July this year, and will feature a 4.88 inch stereoscopic 3D top screen, compared to the 3DS's 3.53 inch screen, and a 4.18inch bottom screen, compared to 3.02 inches. It will be available in 3 colours - Red, Silver and Blue - and will weigh 336g. Sadly it won't be compatible with the Circle Pad Pro, but it will be compatible with all DS and 3DS games. The AC adapter will NOT come packaged with the system in Japan or Europe to reduce costs, though the DSi/3DS charger will be compatible. It will be packaged with the charger in North America.
This announcement has come as a surprise to most 3DS users, as an 'XL' version of the console was predicted to be impossible due to the limited capabilities of stereoscopic 3D and the fact that the
screen would have to be entirely changed. This hasn't seemed to be a problem for Nintendo though, as you can see.

PICTURE TIME.

GAIZ, STOP THE HATE.
I made this blog literally 5 freaking hours after it was announced, there wasn't as much information available at the time than there is now.
Also, I live in Europe. Release date works fo' me.

Love the "I guess Nintendo just wants money" comment.

Nintendo is a company, albeit a magical one, but a company nonetheless. If they weren't concerned with making some money, then we probably would have been left with the N64 and never progressed.

Anyway, I'm focused on scraping together funds for Black 2, I don't even have a 3DS./whine

Actually they earn more money by selling the circle pad pro accesory instead of having a 2nd analog. Moar money.
They will also get more money by not packeging the charger with the system.

Quoth TehPhoenix:
They really should have put a second analog stick on the 3dsXL their gonna lose money on this.
There really isn't a need for a second analog stick. Both the PSP and the 3DS have similar controls and ALOT of people still buy the PSP. What would you need a second analog for?

The XL was originally for young children and the elderly. I work at GameStop, and I actually see little kids carrying around an XL all the time. If there was no intended audience to begin with, they wouldn't make it.

I wish I worked at GameStop.I think it would be awesome.

Skip the 3DS XL. Get 3DS at newer price. Or buy a Wii U.

I like your blog. But please provide more information. Nintendo released enough details, so you should implement them. North America does NOT get the 3DS XL July 28. Europe does. NA gets it August 19. Can you put this in your blog? I sound like someone that hates everything, but I'm just trying to help you. Your welcome.

WOW! Nintendo made the original 3DS to small. Now, they made it bigger

Well, since you already covered this I will not be making a blog. I'd expend too much time making it, its already considerable cold news, and there is not many information about the subject...besides the console's new screen specs and sizes.

Quoth lilwayne1556quote]But wouldnt this make the 3d harder to see... I mean they say try to play videogames on the smallest screen ( not too small ) if i heard that correctly
It shouldn't affect the 3D quality. And Nintendo puts something like 'play on the smallest screen available' in their health and safety manuals for systems. Therefore it is a health and/or safety thing, not a 3D quality thing.[/quote]

yes i know that but i never got the dsi xl and im not getting the 3ds xl because all it is just a bigger system if they add more things to it like flash or something then i would get it but i guess all nintendo wants is money :l

The strange thing is I see lots of little kids with the DSiXL.

I wondered when this would happen... My Dsixl is already to big as it is. The durned thing won't fit into my pocket. Also, look at it... It's round top. So unsexy, so unattractive. I'll just get a 3ds next time I find a big pile of cash lying on the ground. :'D

I like the normal 3ds style like how ti looks better then this. I think its too blocky and it looks too fake and and it looks like its like weird but i dont see any reason for me getting this since i already have a 3ds i just may get a wiiu

I already have a 3DS and do not plan on getting a 3DSXL. However, I do think this is pretty cool, since it's going to be a bigger glasses-free 3D screen.

Pfft it's really only good for people who are like.. borderline blind or can't hold small things for some reason xD Plus not having a charger is kinda dumb.. what if they don't have a previous DS system? And it can't reduce costs that much to not have it with the console.. it's a freaking cord!! And where the system is bigger wouldn't you need to hold is farther away from your face in order for the 3D to work? Sounds like you're asking for an arm cramp there.

I never liked the XL version of the DSi console, as it always made my eyes hurt.

Also, you lack the [ image ] tag to display the picture.
