- Reviewed in Canada on December 8, 2013Verified PurchaseI bought two of these, one for myself and one my wife. We've both got countless hours of enjoyment out of this handheld console. The larger screen on the XL is great. It has a good weight to it, and feels very well made.
It doesn't hurt that the 3DS currently has a great catalog of games at its disposal, as well. Since my purchase, it's hard to remember a time that I haven't been eagerly awaiting at least one new release on the horizon.
- Reviewed in Canada on October 8, 2012Verified PurchaseGENERAL:
Between this system and the 3DS XL ive noticed no difference in playability or "fun factor".
As of OCT/2012 both systems still feel in their infancy and both are really fun.
The 3DS library is a bit larger, and with the DS library available youll always have a game to play.
Cutting edge games still get released for DS as well "pokemon black/white 2 for example".
CHOICE:
Having said that, if I had to pick one, which would i choose? Id still have to flip a coin to decide.
AUGMENTED REALITY:
The AR is better on the 3DS, has more modes, more to buy, and full retail games support it.
The screen looks better on the vita for obvious reasons, but if you can handle full 3D dont make
a mistake about it, the 3DS screen is better in games that support its "proper" use ... by A LOT...
ONLINE SHOP:
The eShop has come a long way and no longer sucks - brand new titles are available, and demos too. Organized like the PSN, but works like XBOXLIVE.
eShop has one flaw though. prices are straight up retarded. 32MB card is like $20
Vitas store is terrible, I cant stand it. its all there though and if you can do it youll find it better then eShop but the memory
youll need to use it with is like $80 for 32GB. way to rip off your customer base again sony. "sound familiar?"
Their excuse was "intergrity of the system" but nintendo did it with basic cards and just encrypted its content and last i check
more progress has been made against the vita. go figure - google if interested.
INTERFACE:
I prefer the 3DS but the vita's is flawless.
The way the 2nd screen is used in the menus and shows backround stuff running while your doing other things in the operating system
was pure genius.
3D vs HD CAMERA:
If the size of the screen is of concern to you, the 3DS XL is the same as the vita.
HD videos is great, as well as HD pictures - and they stay HD when you share them. HOWEVER!!!!
3D pictures and movie recording is better, but has 1 major flaw... you lose the 3D off the device
and I would put the images at about 10% less then the VITA. this isnt to say another 3DS wont see the 3d
because IT WILL. the issue comes when sharing on email, facebook, to smartphones etc which is where i find
all my images going - none in 3D even though the 3D is there. unsupported 3D will always piss ya off.
Going to be blunt, 3D Home movies is far superior to the HD, anyone who owns a 3D camera of any other type
knows it, the 3DS is no different "dont listen to vita fanboys...". but then again dont expect to be
able to share your "works of art" with others too often.
SUMMARY:
Dont listen to fanboys on either side, both systems are phenomenal. 3DS is nothing like the DSL/DSi systems.
its very powerful "multiple apps running powerful". Dont look at MHZ of the CPU either.
INTEL vs AMD has shown that it means NOTHING a 3GHZ intel is 30% faster then a 3GHZ AMD.
I would say the power in the 2 systems is probably about the same. the VITA has 4 ARM9 CPUS
and the 3DS HAS 2 ARM11 ... all things being equal, thats probably even in power.
"Single threads will run better on a 3DS for this reason, better chips. but if a game is made for 3+ threads
it will run better on the vita, but this really doesnt matter...."
having said this, remember that games on the 3DS can use only 1 core "or so ive read;) "
the other is for the system. vita is similar being split 2/2.
GPU.
Screen smaller, yes, but is the GPU weaker? NO
remember that the 3DS uses 3D, that means each pixel is counted twice and in effect the GPU on the
3DS has to do more.
vita: 960 544
3DS : 400240 (800 * 480) - 3D remember.
And with the 3D on its beautiful.
The Screen with the 3D can be annoying if you shift your game around it has to stay pretty centered to get the effect
but this is much less true with the XL model; its still there but you got WAYYYYYYY more wiggle room.
Remember something, fanboys are clueless and a dying breed.
BOTH systems are fantastic for what they do, which is 2 very different things.
I own both and cant imagine not owning either one.
You wont be sorry choosing either one.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wow is it sturdy and is used for pictures, games and video in the great outdoors!
Verified PurchaseMy five year old is hard on toys and although he does not play video games all day, he really enjoys playing his DS on road trips and takes this with him everywhere he goes. He has dropped it, and misused it somewhat for almost a year now and it works like the day we bought it. Easy to use and has lots of memory. My son takes pictures and videos or creatures outside all the time and uses his ds for exploring. It has internet capability for other online games and activities, but we haven't bothered to even set that up as he uses it for so many other things and we do not want him on the internet yet anyway. If this one were to break or get lost, I would buy it again in a heart beat!

The construction feels more solid and while there is no increase in resolution on the screen you quickly get used to the minor pixelation and I could not go back to using the smaller screen. Battery life is still exceptionally poor though and has to be charge after much more than 3 hours just like the original 3ds.

5.0 out of 5 stars A step up from the original 3DS
Verified PurchaseI purchased this after my original 3DS was stolen. I was nervous about the screen size, as I like to play games at work (don't judge me) and don't want to be overly obvious about playing. As well, I didn't want something the size of the Wii U controller! Plus, I had never seen an XL before, so I really didn't know much about it other than the price increase.
My first thoughts when opening the new system were "Oh my God this ROCKS!". The screen is the perfect size. I read a lot of reviews about the 3DS XL and saying that the images weren't as sharp, the edges were jaggy, and the 3D wasn't as good. I heavily disagree. I found that the size of the top screen now really enables you to truly appreciate the 3D. I did notice, however, that I can't have the 3D all the way up, like I did before on the original 3DS, because it gets to be too much for me (almost all the way is perfect). I also did notice that if I turn my head I notice the blurriness (from the 3D getting distorted) more than the original, but after fidgeting around with it you get used to how to hold it so that doesn't happen.
I've only played for about an hour or two so far with a few different games, and have to say that I think the colors are more vivid on this. It could be the screen size, but you really see so much more detail than before. Yes, I do think you lose some of the sharpness that the other system had (i noticed a itty bitty bit of boxiness) but again, the pros outweigh the cons. The screen size still captivates you and allows you to see the detail much better than before. I was surprised when I noticed a lot of little things in one of the games that I hadn't before, simply due to screen size.
I really like this little hand-held gaming device. The sound is really good, the buttons are solid, and the overall make of it is pretty impressive. The hinge is different than on the original 3DS, and I'm not sure if it's just mine or not, but it "clicks" when I open it and when I close it. After inspecting it, I think that's the way it's supposed to be, and I think it's actually better built (stability wise) than the original as well.
Overall, I'm very happy with this purchase. I would like to see them drop in price, as $200 is a lot more than I would like to pay for something like this, but oh well.
Highly recommended for all ages.

5.0 out of 5 stars Nintendo 3DS XL
Verified PurchaseThis was a gift for my son. I have a Nintendo 3 DS XL, but mine is black. His is red/black. He loves it. We both love that you can play 3DS games and most DS games with it. It's great to have the choice of 3D or less 3D or to turn the 3d off. You can watch videos either from Nintendo Video, or YouTube. There is even now an option to get Hulu Plus. There's so much you can do with this system it makes it hard to remember it all! We both most recently got Tomodachi Life, and with it you can take photos, and even upload them to Facebook right from your 3DS XL. With the larger screen it makes it better then the original 3DS (my opinion of course, and my son agrees.) It has a built in stylus which is really handy. It takes about 3-4 hours to fully charge, but you can play while it's charging. My favorite thing about it, is the Steps Counter. In the Activity Log there is a steps counter which is great to keep track of the number of steps you take daily, weekly, monthly, and so on. In the Activity Log, choosing Daily Records you can view your steps and play time. It's great because if my son lies to me about how long he was playing, I can go see for myself. There are also Parental Controls which is great. I leave my 3DS XL in my pocket while I go shopping and it's amazing how many people I've met through Streetpass. It's great because it counts my steps and keeps track of who I meet while I'm out shopping. It has built in games, which are super fun. There are a couple that are on the from the start like Puzzle Swap, and Find Mii. There are ones you can download for $4.99 each, which are Mii Force, Flower Town, Warrior's Way, and Monster Manor - you can buy none of these titles or one, two or three, or all of them, it's your choice. There are probably even things you can do that I don't know about. Oh you can also create Mii's in the Mii Maker. If you don't have a Nintendo 3DS XL, you're surely missing out! I don't think I could live without mine. I'd give it 10 stars if I could, but 5 out of 5 should speak for itself!

5.0 out of 5 stars Decent system and still easier to pocket than other handhelds.
Verified PurchaseThe graphic quality in games feels a little better than original Wii quality which is pretty nice. There's also plenty of bonus apps to play with when you first get your system set up in order to get yourself warmed up to the system. Then there's the glasses free 3D effect which is pretty cool and looks amazing at first, yet after some time with it it feels a little awkward to have to hold the system still in order see the 3D in full depth correctly. But I guess that is a pretty minor thing since you can always turn the depth down or turn 3D completely off. And it may be because I have adult hands but I still feel a little uncomfortable holding the XL system for long periods of time. But I intend on getting a Circle Pad Pro eventually which will easily remedy that, and there are also comfort grips out there too. Yet these are very minor gripes to a system that is actually pretty awesome for portable gaming. The thing I do really like about the system is that even the XL fits right into my pocket and still feels more natural than say a PSP or PSvita does. You should keep in mind however that these systems don't last more than 4-6 hours of constant use, and if you do intend to be using it away from home for longer periods of time you should try to remember to bring either a charger or a battery bank in order to extend its use.
As for my reasons for getting the system, I had previously played Monster Hunter quite often on the PSP (Freedom Unite and Portable 3rd) and have found a new love for the series along with similar games for the PSvita. With Monster Hunter 4 on it's way next year I just couldn't keep myself from getting one early to play Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate to see how it would play in 3D. And I have to say that I'm enjoying it. It's also pretty fun playing multiplayer with a friend on the Wii U version. I do fully intend on getting more games for the system and am already looking forward to it. I think it's well worth getting the 3DS XL if you enjoy gaming on handheld systems or away from home.

2.0 out of 5 stars Misleading pictures
Verified PurchaseThe pictures were misleading. They showed games and a case which were not included. If I had known that it was just the console, I would not have bought it for that price.
