Who's getting the new 3ds xl?

[User 180565 is taking donation]

I'm really in love with the design and even returned the vita for it. So anyone here?

[Ajay]

Nah I just got a PS4 and love It.

Meh. I'd like a portable Nintendo system but not a DS. I'm not fond of the dual-screen thing. It's mostly a waste of space and battery life and makes it more expensive. I have a similar view of the 3D effect since it works only within a narrow angle and can give me headaches.

I'd like a 2DS without the 2nd screen and not so ugly. Nintendo is just blah at hardware design. Great games, blah hardware.

Watch some reviews, the new 3ds has a IR sensor that gives way better 3D angles.

I can't begin to tell you how much the design annoys me though, for the simple reason being that Majora's Mask is going to be upside down when it's actually being played. Oh well.

Just like with the previous one's I've had (original 3DS, XL), I don't plan on ever turning on the 3D though. Just not my thing.

You're lucky the Majora mask edition is outsold everywhere and I'm sure people are going to resell it on ebay for $300

At first, yes I was but with the change to microSD and no AC adaptor included, I may not purchase this so easily. I invested in a regular 32GB SD card to replace the 4GB SD card and not including an AC adaptor is STUPID! What if you have an uninformed buyer buy a New 3DS XL for their kid (their first Nintendo handheld) only to find out they can only play it for a few hours?

Needs to be bigger. Even with that said, still BS!

They've actually done this in Japan since the launch of the ds and it still does really well there, despite that usb charging cables are a dollar on ebay.

That doesn't change the fact that is BS.

No, but not buying a console just because it dosnt have a power cord is silly.

What's really silly is that you are willing to pay for a product that doesn't have everything you need right out of the box. I have never known Nintendo to pull this! I was planning on selling my older 3DS XL (that came with everything I needed by the way) after I would have performed a system transfer. Knowing it doesn't come with an adaptor automatically and uses microSD cards instead of standard SD (because I invested in a standard 32GB SD card for my 3DS XL to replace the 4GB one it came with), no, I will not buy for a while yet until Nintendo realized they screwed up, at least with the missing adaptor problem. I shouldn't have to put up with something they are not known for doing but did it anyway.

Its silly that you think a revamped Console should still have an SD card slot. The fact you say you already own a console means you already have a charger and you probably know how to convert everything over to it with or without an adapter. In this case Nintendo is right and it's silly you'd pass on it over two minor things. You can get a 3ds charger for pennies and micro SD cards are affordable. And if you plan on selling it its not like you'll go bank root over buying a charger.

So in simpler sense you're saying Nintendo should include a charger and a 32gb sd card.

Let's not buy a console that has super stable 3d and that's basically fixed every flaw the first 3ds had because it doesn't have a charger or an SD card slot.

Whoa. You got it all wrong what I said. There is one major issue and that is the exclusion of an AC adaptor. The minor issue is dropped support for the standard form factor SD card in favor of the supported microSD form factor SD card. I never expected Nintendo to supply a 32GB microSD card. I expected Nintendo to be more considerate when releasing a redesign because that is what expectations I grew up with. It's OK to drop unused features (like the NES and SNES when Nintendo released the NES 2 and SNES 2) but not OK to drop essential features (like the Wii when Nintendo released the Wii Family Edition and Wii Mini). It seems Nintendo expected the New 3DS to be an upgrade option only. They did fix issues, don't get me wrong, but they took one step forward then two steps back. The New 3DS models are of retrograde quality of the older 3DS models.
