Nintendo Handheld Console - White (Nintendo 3DS XL)

Product Information

Not sure if you've received something? Look for the blue LED light on the outside of your Nintendo 3DS system or a blue dot on your favorite HOME Menu icon to find out what's been delivered to you. 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. Getting SpotPass on the go is easier than ever!

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.

New Nintendo 3DSXL Pearl White The NEW REVIEW for The New Nintendo 3DSXL Pearl White

If your screens aren't behaving properly, it means you haven't connected the related PCBs properly. The screens aren’t merely the same size, but the exact same resolution, with a 4.18-inch, 320 x 240 resistive touchscreen at the bottom and a 4.88-inch, 800 x 240 screen at the top. By smartphone standards that’s not much of a resolution, and even less so when you consider that it’s divided into 400 x 240 per eye by the 3D tech. Yet this is the crispest, brightest and most vibrant display we’ve yet had on a 3DS, and certainly the one on which 3D is most effective. Though this isn't as difficult as connecting the bottom-side PCB, it can still be a chore to line up the PCB with the connector. A good practice is to use the barrel of your screw driver to push the PCB into place from behind, as in the photo below: Surprise...this part's easy! You can leave the microphone's flex PCB connected to the motherboard. Simply lift the microphone out of the upper case as shown below, using either your fingers, or a pair of tweezers: Other Input Controls: 3D Depth Slider (enabling smooth adjustment of the 3D level effect), HOME Button (brings up the HOME menu), Wireless switch (can disable wireless functionality even during game play), POWER buttonThe 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. Lower Screen: LCD with a touch screen capable of displaying 16.77 million colors . 4.18 inches (3.34 inches wide, 2.5 inches high) with 320 x 240 pixel resolution. Two Screens - Game graphics have never looked better on a Nintendo handheld system, thanks to the two screens of the Nintendo 3DS system. Input Controls: A/B/X/Y Button, +Control Pad, L/R Button, START/SELECT, Circle Pad (enabling 360-degree analog input), Touch screen, Embedded microphone, Camera, Motion sensor, Gyro sensor

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. Nintendo DS and Nintendo DSi games will be displayed in 2D graphics. Select Nintendo DS games that use accessories in the Game Boy™ Advance slot of the Nintendo DS system are not compatible with the Nintendo 3DS system.
