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..] True.
[..YouTube..] i cant find the smash bros news on nintendo.com:(
[..YouTube..] can u guys make a new super mario bros 2 demo? :3
[..YouTube..] my body is ready
[..YouTube..] CoDfanboyzUnite is fucking salesman from sony selling psvita which is shit and going to fail epic. CoDis fucking bullshit. only true retard stupid people like that simple game.
[..YouTube..] New Art Academy is multilingual
[..YouTube..] Better sales? I think not. You are wrong, sir. Nintendo actually is creative and innovative with their games and fucking Call of Duty is the same shit. And OVERALL QUALITY? Wake the fuck up! Nintendo started everything about video games. Sony and Microsoft fucking copied Nintendo and now, everyone LOVES them but doesn’t know that Nintendo is the REAL DEAL. Nintendo fans are the real hardcore gamers. Plus, why are you on a Nintendo video when you hate them? Doesn’t make much sense to me…
[..YouTube..] ouch sony you better step up your game nintendo is already included a 4 gb sd with the new xl and you cant even include any internal memory with the vita
[..YouTube..] YO NINTENDO!!…
PLEASE Incude Pulseman In Your New Smash Bros.
(Even If You Can’t Include Him In The Wii U/3DS Version,I Would Really Like To See Him In The Future)
[..YouTube..] Dear Nintendo: through my experience the things you made were large then you changed for slim and now making a XL why don’t you just make 1 3DS not different thing everytime its getting to be pain. Next time please plan before releasing 2 different things.
[..YouTube..] Yeah but the cod troll has been trolling everywhere that includes Nintendo. Can some1ban him plz.plz.PLZ!!!!
[..YouTube..] because i spent 180$ on it and i coul have waited 2 get this
[..YouTube..] Because they dont want to take those risks since the Super Mario Bros. Movie
[..YouTube..] No it’s Not.
[..YouTube..] Nintendo made the NES. Sony wasnt even a gaming company back then it wasn’t until the n64 that Ps1 was introduced
[..YouTube..] They don’t make New Console models only handhelds. and why make an XL it’s already big
[..YouTube..] Microsoft is pretty damn sweet. It has a better library than Wii and Wii u so far. but that’s just 6 years of being out
[..YouTube..] View my N64 game unboxing
Search in youtube: Abrindo MS.PAC-MAN Nintendo64 / Unboxing MS.PAC-MAN Nintendo 64
[..YouTube..] Look up the Wii U specs.It’s 3D…
[..YouTube..] If they made it 3D it would make the 3ds useless why would they make one of their handheld useless. It’s not 3D. That’s a big deal nowadays now that we’ve seen the 3Ds i’m pretty sure they’d announce it. and i’ve watched every video live and rerunned. No 3D. Specs are on Nintendo.com
[..YouTube..] New Super Mario Bros. 2 should have been New Wario Land, with Wario and Waluigi teaming up or competing for the most coins.
[..YouTube..] hehe maybe i can finish super mario land now
i have the original cartridge but my battery never lasted long enough to finish the 4th stage…
[..YouTube..] Nintendo rulez :3 Although I do like all consoles.
[..YouTube..] that what trolls say i see your kind on chuggaaconroys videos lately how about you shut up and deal with the fact that nintendo is more popular than anyother gaming company and it’s games are more enjoyable then CoD and if you hate nintendo so mush why are you even watching it?
[..YouTube..] its true
[..YouTube..] no the SNES DD (Disk drive)
[..YouTube..] You have a tankard with your Mii on it! You’re awesome Reggie!
[..YouTube..] Thumbs down because I had to look at Reggie’s face.
[..YouTube..] FUCK NINTENDO FANS THEY ARE THE MOST FAT MENTALLY CHALLENGED FUCKS WHO ENJOY JUMPING ON BRICKS
[..YouTube..] President and coo of Nintendo of america. COO?
[..YouTube..] Epic Darunia statue on the table behind him
[..YouTube..] DAMN IT NINTENDO! all you accomplished at the end of the video is making the wait more for pokemon unbearable for me
[..YouTube..] I’m sorry, I don’t think I heard you right. Did you say better sales and games… cause it kinda sounds like your smoken some weed over there. And it also sounded like you said any Call Of Dooty is the same rehashed shit… now that we can agree on. (-_-)
Now I play PvsZ, Mario, Sonic, Halo, Rayman, Tetris, Soul Calibur, Assasins Creed, Animal Crossing, Mother, Zelda, Pikmin, ect., I have even played CoD. Thats what I call a Hardcore Gamer in my books.
We didn’t ask for your opinion.
