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..] you know i think wii u is the nintendo wii xl whith a diffrent name
[..YouTube..] Mother 3
[..YouTube..] Right, didn’t think of that, i could also be the shape of his bone 😛
[..YouTube..] So i dont mind upgrading to the 3ds xl or anything but what will happen to the games I have already downloaded on the regular 3ds. Will i be able to transfer the games to the 3ds xl
[..YouTube..] did you all know that sony had arguments with nintendo but sony made the SNES DD D:
SONY AND MICROSOFT (Not SEGA) HAVE NO LIFE!!
[..YouTube..] we the loyal nintendo loving fans, are proud that nintendo teams is keeping the memorable icon characters alive since their first appearance in the 80s, even to this day we the older loyal fans of nintendo still enjoy the new releases of 3DS games and Wii games, the Wii U is ganna be a huge hit for family games and older gamers and hardcore gamers, nintendo is always first pick for older gamers..
[..YouTube..] wow the likes over rules the dislikes
[..YouTube..] That makes no sense. Why would they make the console bigger? The whole point with making the DSi/3DS XL was to give the system bigger screens. The only way that you can play console games on a bigger screen is if you buy a bigger television.
[..YouTube..] Wii U has a seperate screen, so they could make that screen bigger…
[..YouTube..] no it doesn’t copy people it’s new would u expect Sony and Microsoft just to sell Xbox and PlayStation 2 games if you THINK about it in the future no matter what game company it will all be motion based it’s called trying new ideas nobody copies more importantly they do this for a living so if they are really coping it’s to live and feed their children if they have any. again it doesn’t matter what console you have as long as you are happy.
[..YouTube..] exactly and what pisses me off is how people are coping if they truly are it’s to feed themselves and their family.
[..YouTube..] you are right running around in a small ass map makes you a hardcore gamer
[..YouTube..] noo u missunderstand, on consoles is named wii u SLIM 😛
[..YouTube..] The 3DS XL looks pretty ugly, but whatever, the screens are huge and that’s all that matters to me!
[..YouTube..] Why does Nintendo of America treat Fire Emblem like it’s nothing -.-
[..YouTube..] when can we get genosect,keldo,and meolatta
[..YouTube..] Like if you want Nintendo to come out with the N64 again !!!
[..YouTube..] Yeah cause it’ll make your tv bigger….. :/
[..YouTube..] “Cod is the worst game series ever. TF2 is better.” Can we stop this flame-war please? Holy shit. I’m a CoD fan (on the Xbox) and an avid 3DS/DS fan. it just pains me to see people from my favorite companies arguing about useless crap. Just ignore the trolls, honestly. Playing on one console doesn’t make you any better than others.
[..YouTube..] One word…Fucktard.
[..YouTube..] then why watch this video if all you’re doing is hating you artard…
Both systems are very unique, from the 3d feature of the DS to the backpad of the Vita… Yes Cod is cool but it is getting old though… plz no hating the 3ds is a great handheld system
[..YouTube..] Pokemon!!!! Yay
[..YouTube..] LOL, better sales? And yeah, Call of Duty has never been rehashed
[..YouTube..] Rehashed Nintendo shit…? But CoD is supremely original with each installment…? Did you make an entire channel just to troll people or are you really that stupid? Oh, and the 3DS has sold over 17 million units, while the Vita has sold about 2…
[..YouTube..] …What the hell is the point of that?
[..YouTube..] free gamestop giftcards for wiiU
h ttp :// w ww.pri zer e b e l.co m/i n de x. ph p ? r =jo hn nybe ll
^remove spaces
[..YouTube..] “Call of Duty is better than any of the same old rehashed shit Nintendo has churned out in ages.” But Call of Duty is the same old rehashed shit…
[..YouTube..] Are you serious? Have you people still not learned why console manufacturers release multiple versions of handhelds? Are you seriously that idiotic?
[..YouTube..] HEY ID RATHER PLAY RYTHEM THIEF THAN COD mainly because it has good music and better gameplay COD ISNT WHAT IT USED TO BE ALL THE NEW CODS ARE THE SAME THING
[..YouTube..] u cant tell but i liked
[..YouTube..] You basically repeated what I said.. Also typing in caps won’t get your point across any better.
[..YouTube..] Damnit! I don’t wanna pay another 200 bucks just for an another 3ds. But that big is just so tempting!
[..YouTube..] I don’t know why the 2 of you are fighting. IF A GAME IS FUN, PLAY THAT SHIT. lawl
[..YouTube..] Oh wow! That SEGA All Stars Racing game actually looks enjoyable! THANKS SEGZ.
[..YouTube..] honesty you both are fan boys here we got a cod/ps3 fanboy and a not too irritating nintendo fanboy look the vita and 3ds are both kickass i have em both and i play em both each can give a good gaming experience and to MegaMattTyrrell sales have nothing to do with how good a product is as the 3ds has sold more yet the vita only came out in 2012 where as the 3ds came out march 2011 so it had a head start. honestly lets not fight about consoles and lets just play what we like. BTW TF2 BEST PC GAME
[..YouTube..] why dont you just make a wii 3d?
[..YouTube..] huh?
[..YouTube..] Could Regis be any more obvious that he’s reading from a teleprompter? Or could he be any more monotone and uninterested in what he’s saying? He has no inflection in his voice, and he could be moving his hands a LITTLE just to seem like he actually cares about what he’s saying.
I wish NoA would just get rid of Regis and replace him with someone younger. Preferable someone who grew up with Nintendo.
[..YouTube..] Wii U is 3d
[..YouTube..] Hey nintendo why dont you make a nintendo movie company and make an animated movie of mario and zelda please???
[..YouTube..] Vita has sold 1.8 million units while 3DS sold 17.13 million, Super Mario Bros sold more than the Vita itself, Call Of Duty died in my book after WaW, maybe MW2 and that’s pushing it. As of this day, if you want to bring in sales, Sony gets destroyed by Nintendo in sales with their handhelds. And If you want to add the original handhelds, NDS sold 151.52 million units, and PSP sold 73.3 million
PS: I’m not a hater, I give factual points and i like both Sony and Nintendo.
[..YouTube..] You really need to remove those fanboy glasses
as of April 2012
PS vitas sold 2 million
3DS sold 18. million
Even though the 3DS has been out longer it still out sells the Vita week after week.
Also CoD is just as rehashed as Nintendo games. Really 9 games in 8 years CoD is the same game over and over. Added Black Ops II will be on the Wii U BTW
[..YouTube..] i agree it is just every fucken cock fanboy always game their game is better than any other game
[..YouTube..] fuck you DLC!!!
[..YouTube..] i want to know the wii u spec b4 i will think of buying it. if is not good i will wait for ps4 or 720
[..YouTube..] so running around getting chased by bullets make a good game
[..YouTube..] Oh. Last I checked the vita was regarded as the 4TH WORST SELLING CONSOLE IN HISTORY. The only actual game that was good was Gravity Rush. And yes the quality was better(by a little) but that was y it was so overpriced. Cod is the same sh&* every time only with more maps, weapons, and…… That’s practically it. Then again u can’t see that because of what your username spells out about u
[..YouTube..] Yup. America truly has a sad gaming commmunity for those 9 to 22
[..YouTube..] God Dangit!!! Why even watch this if you don’t like it? Have you ever heard the saying different strokes for different folks? Just because you don’t like Nintendo’s products doesn’t mean you should go to their vids and tell everyone that they suck. Because they don’t. Now please stay away from these videos and go have fun with the rest of the fanboys.
[..YouTube..] Vita has sold 2 million units worldwide while the 3DS has sold 17 million. Get your facts straight troll.
