In a press conference this week, Nintendo announced the release of a new line of Nintendo 3DS’s with the 3DS XL. The 3DS XL will sport screens that are 90% bigger and Nintendo claims it will have better battery life. This move is not entirely surprising as Nintendo did a similar move with the Nintendo DSi a couple years ago.
I can honestly say this announcement solidifies my sense of buyer’s remorse for the latest Nintendo handheld. I had my first taste when Nintendo announced the original 3DS price drop from $250 to $180. Next, was the Ambassador program. Sure, I like getting free games, but it didn’t make me feel better about losing $70. Now, we have the announcement of the 3DS XL. Not only would I rather have the increased screen size, but the new XL will only cost $200. Please don’t misread this as true bitterness; it is more like a face palm on my part.
Now, you can say many things about Nintendo, but you can never say they don’t know how to market their products. The 3DS XL is releasing on August 19th, concurrently with New Super Mario Bros. 2. While it does not ship with NSMB2, plan on that game flying off store shelves along with the new system. The Nintendo 3DS XL will be available in red or blue and will ship with a 4GB SD card. With Nintendo coming off a good showing for 3DS at E3 game-wise, it looks like this holiday will be another good time to be Nintendo.
[..YouTube..] the vita is freaking retarded COD is for idiots who loving shooting people but don’t like to get shot themselves. Nintendo-haters should go die in a whole because all they care about is shooting people in the head with an AK-47 in black ops. Nintendo has been producing video games WAY longer than sony or microsoft and produces BETTER games than either competitor. People like you should just shut up and get on with your lives. I personally think they should destroy every single copy of COD ever.
[..YouTube..] me, all of the way 🙂
[..YouTube..] it would be smarter to open a new headquaters in canada I think, though, I know how you feel. 🙁
[..YouTube..] don’t worry, they aren’t making the original 3DS obsolete. It’s simply a larger screen with a slightly bigger battery (only about 30 minutes). All of the games will still be on the original 3DS, its basically the same device just with a little bigger screen!
[..YouTube..] Replace 3DS with your name and Playstation with shitty.
[..YouTube..] What I want to know is if the wii u will have add ons and DLC?
[..YouTube..] the guy is creepy
[..YouTube..] nintendo have to get oracle of season and ages to the eshop as a virtual console
[..YouTube..] yes,(and later on for the 3ds)
[..YouTube..] This should be Mario’s special attacks in SSB4
Standard Attack – Fireball
Side Attack – Hammer (The hammer he uses in Mario Power Tennis and he swings it downwards )
Up Attack – Super Jump Punch
Down Attack – F.L.U.DD
[..YouTube..] 15:10 confirms the 3DS will, guessing it will be the same for Wii U.
[..YouTube..] I wonder if a Wii U XL will be made… HOPE NOT
[..YouTube..] Nice, also xsuck is horrible.
[..YouTube..] You suck

[..YouTube..] you have no fucking right to call others fanboys when your clearly a fanboy yourself screw you and all you do pal!
[..YouTube..] Zen garden… that’s where they’re hiding all the pikmin
[..YouTube..] Actully alot of games doesnt really need Bigger Screen, like New Super Mario Bros 2 and Mario Kart 7 , but games like Kingdom Hearts 3D really needs a bigger screen
[..YouTube..] I actually knew about the Miracle Mask since last year anticipating another prequel to curious village.
[..YouTube..] hey youtube ive listen to this other 3ds xl and they said the 3ds xl doesn’t come with a charger
[..YouTube..] I guess you have a good point, the first game was all about survival, the second was all about paying off a debt, I’m sure many Nintendo fans were horrified when they experienced the tragedy of Pikmin Extinction in the first game while in Pikmin 2 I’m guessing that Olimar and Louie were far more conceded about Hocotate Freight’s well being oppose to the violent extinction of the Pikmin species
[..YouTube..] Guys, the 3DS has Kingdom Hearts and an upcoming Pokemon generation, Nintendo wins.
[..YouTube..] I don’t care if you told me that, Nintendo is still the best no matter what you say.
[..YouTube..] why do you like cod so much. Ive played it, its not very good. its generic, repetitive, and the single player is weak at best. honestly I dont understand the appel of fpses. there is not very much variety, each one is a carbon copy of every other one, tf2 can be the exeption. they are also really repetive fast, agian tf2 is an exeption.
[..YouTube..] and an upcoming smash bros game, the new luigis mansion, sciribble naught unlimited, and the next paper mario.
[..YouTube..] 10:53 the ability to turn things into money? BEST SUPER POWER EVER!
[..YouTube..] Don’t feed the troll, copy and paste when you see a flame war made by this troll
[..YouTube..] Learn how to fucking construct a proper sentence and use grammar correctly.
[..YouTube..] What about Bioshock, Doom, Goldeneye? FPS games are fucking amazing, but none of them compare to Call of Duty.
[..YouTube..] Your a total fuckin fag
