New Nintendo 3DS XL Vs Nintendo 3DS XL Full Comparison

[@Lancia444]

[@DriveCancelDC]

What? Video quality hasn't improved since 2015, we're still mostly using 1080p and 4k both of which were widespread when this video came out, so what's surprising? lol

[@wheremakeysat]

If you dont own a 3ds, get the new XL. If you already own an original 3ds XL, there's no need to upgrade unless you want the better processor/ram and cstick nub.

[@Nano20710]

Also the exclusive games for the new 3ds

[@stasisfield6273]

From what I heard theres at most a very limited number that require it - Its like the N64 in that regard, With the RAM expansion there was only 2 games that was under requirement for it. And 1 game only had about 30% of the content availible without the expansion pack (4mb RAM) - edit - I actually treat it as 4 games for the system. I am including StarCraft 64, which requires it to go for multiplayer, and the games expansion content of brood war (3 campaigns, new units etc.) If we call it 3 because of perfect dark. We should include a game that has a rough percentile of 50% being unavailable as well.

[@itsmeduckle]

+Stasis Field for now. But like every other system that has put out an upgrade slowly "new" nintendo games will be easier to find then the ones that don't. I had to check 4 stores to find ocarina of time -.-

if you're like me and strictly play Pokemon, doesn't matter which 3DS XL you have, makes no difference.

[@MuuToo]

I bought a New 3DS XL (Galaxy Design), but kept my old 3DS to give to my friend who has never had a hand held. My only problem is that the New 3DS XL doesn't come with a charger, so I have to use my old one, and go digging around my house to find my spare charger, or just buy a new one. The main reason I upgraded was because I've had that 3DS ever since the 3DS came out, and it has lately been starting to show with it taking forever to launch games and playing Pokémon in 3D.

[@JohnDoe-qq6gv]

That was nice of you. You could of maybe traded it in to save money but you gave it to your friend. Nice.

ExoCaulibur A: I know this friend IRL, and B: knowing him, he's not gonna sell it UNLESS he buys an upgrade in the future, in which would be fine to me, as I'm giving it to him to do what he wants with it.

[@annagreen4835]

I own a New 3DS XL, and I have to say it works pretty spectacularly. The 3D is comfortable and the c-stick actually gets used a lot in games such as Smash Bros and Majora's Mask. However, the smaller (and somewhat thicker at least the feeling) stylus is somewhat uncomfortable to use, but that isn't major. What is major is that the system does not come with an AC adapter, a charger, so keep that in mind. This a great improvement of the old 3DS, and if you're like me and didn't have the money around that time and didn't feel like it was worth it for crappy 3D (I ended up getting a 2DS), then get this system because it is fantastic. Be wary though, if you have problems with smudges then the complete glossy outside will drive you insane XD. Nonetheless, it is a beautiful system that was completely worth the money in my perspective.

eh ill buy it

[@SuperYtc1]

lennox orellana congrats, you just contributed to encouraging nintendo to do this for their next iteration of handhelds. Enjoy paying for their next iteration of handheld, and then buying a tweaked version a few months down the line.

[@ZERONI7]

SuperYtc1 Everyone can make their own decisions on what to buy...besides, it's not like he bought every model up until now. He's upgrading to the latest recently released(at least here in the U.S.) model. And you talk like they release a slightly changed version within a few months and try to make money off of it when what I've seen is 3 distinct iterations of the same model aside from the new3DSXL. They're not forcing anyone to buy their "latest" model.

[@truthoverfacts9254]

I found a clean, near mint(couple of small scratches on the case), old 3ds xl in an appartment complex dumpster. It shows no use opened up. Now, i just need to mod it.

[@thebenman8657]

Niiiice

[@MichaelVincentGChua]

Since the New Nintendo 3DS regular is so limited and so hard to find to this day, I just bought the modified New Nintendo 3DS XL Galaxy Edition 64GB for just $160. Well worth the price for I can hold 40 3DS game, 140GBA games and 700 SNES games. :D

[@MilesTheCreator]

I have brought New Nintendo 3DS XL and it's just much better! :D

[@diegorenteria2238]

I can't decide please help. I'm sorta leaning towards the old one.

[@DiamondHeart99]

Yeah same omg

[@tanos1998]

Nah, go for the new one, especially if you didn't buy a regular 3DS XL, the new model will have some exclusive games and it also has the c-stick.The only thing i don't like is the way it takes the SD card but that's so minor i don't even care.

[@BuetifullPersun]

New one is better in every way, except the price save up and buy that.

[@AleehFM94]

Go for the new one, the price will be the same and you will get some improved hardware and some exclusives (probably all of them will be ports)

[@LemtemPoktui]

New one. Definitely new one. I have a 1.5 year old regular 3DS and I already pre-ordered my new XL. The face tracking 3D basically make the device 100 times better. Not to mention you will get the C-stick and two extra shoulder buttons. Did I mention the built in NFC? Furthermore, there will be exclusive games for the New 3DS as well.

[@Dave_LNT]

Hi, i’m David from France 👋🏼 Thank you for this perfect review / comparison. That was exaclty what i was looking for 🙏🏼

[@personafan4877]

I've just recently bought the new 3DS XL because I haven't had a DS since the DSi Xl

[@LaurenceLai]

I have the DS Lite. Should I finally upgrade to the New 3DS XL?

[@personafan4877]

+Laurence Lai yes you should

[@LaurenceLai]

Ok. Thanks

[@Antony_Oscar]

I ordered the New 3DS XL (Hyrule edition) just few days ago. My last handheld was the original DS and I mostly played Nintendogs and Spyro... lol.

[@os1301]

+SaxonVoter Same, the only DS I've ever had was the original and I'm thinking of getting the New 3DS XL Hyrule Edition. Definitely choosing Hyrule Edition if I do lol.

[@Satan-Is-a-Lawyer]

Are they gonna quit making games for the old 3DSXL? because I just got mine for Christmas so I am not buying the new one.

[@Satan-Is-a-Lawyer]

***** OHH ok thanks that helped I lot I did not know there was games for DSI only

[@alaingabrielnapenas7933]

What dsi

[@Satan-Is-a-Lawyer]

Kaneki Ken A dsi is a upgrade from the ds lite

[@alaingabrielnapenas7933]

thanks

[@Dray12321]

LOL IDIOT THE 3dsxl and new 3dsxl PLAY THE SAME GAMES!!! I KNOW BECAUSE I HAVE BOTH AND THE MOST OBVIOUS THING IS THEY ARE STILL BOTH 3ds's

[@er404music]

Jeez, seven years ago. I remember drooling at the computer looking at these!

[@afsinreverie]

Damn. Just three days ago I got the NES gamestop edition. Now this one is coming out. I think ill just keep my 3DS XL and buy this one if it has to come down to it. I will not sell my 3DS cause I sold my NES GBA SP back in the day and I regret it.

[@chris-cu2vi]

If you still have the receipt, most stores let you return the product within a week, even if there is nothing wrong with it,

[@afsinreverie]

DerrajCM Thanks dude! I got it at gamestop so I am sure they will be unwillingly to refund an open 3dsxl and credit me for a newer 3ds. I might call and ask today but we ll see man. Ill keep you posted.

[@lavll88]

afsinreverie you could also transfer your sd and account data to the new 3ds xl and sell the old one on ebay. keep in mind that you have transfer your data BEFORE setting up your NNID on the new 3ds!

[@chris-cu2vi]

afsinreverie Make sure to do it fast. I don't know about gamestop, but with retailers such as best buy, you can return within a week as long as you have the box and reciept. You can return within a month if there are any problems, and sometimes they are very lenient with what you would consider a problem. They accepted my almost a month old ps4 with 2 games simply because I wanted to wait until more games came out.

[@LemtemPoktui]

Just in case you couldn't get a refund, try asking about the trade in program. EBgames(GS Canada) is offering people 80 bucks for the regular 3ds and 100 bucks for the XL if you trade it towards the New XL.

[@saikritgrover3323]

This is a really accurate and good review. Although in the boot-up test my 3ds xl boots up faster than your 3ds xl. So I found that a little inaccurate.

[@bubbawriteoff1683]

Thank you for in the in depth comparison, it cleared up all my questions, thanks!

[@bibukodoku]

having both consoles, old 3ds have better design , like the stylus position, wifi switch and easy access sd card slot

[@mshayashi]

Yes...I bought the original Nintendo 3DS LL.

[@roebloxy9986]

I wouldn't understand the reason Nintendo would discontinue this masterpiece Just because switch is new

[@householdrecordings]

I'm actually getting my New 3DS XL today. I'm so excited. :) Nice video.

[@TheAlpacalypseIsUponUs]

I only watched this becouce I wasn't sure if I had the new or old 3DS XL haha

[@krystalmorrison6679]

Wait seriously?

[@unicornajmg5078]

Doesn’t it say on the back? Lol

[@catherinemaria3367]

I got mine in 2012 and I want an upgrade. Mine has so many scratches its unbelievable because I got it when I was 8 or something

[@MB.S560]

It’s basically a facelift isn’t it?

[@Hurtle885hu8bu]

Somehow I didn’t know New 3ds xl was a thing. I’ve had an original version practically since it came out, and I just bought one on eBay as a Christmas gift for someone, and I was very confused because it looked different from mine. I was worried I bought a bootleg or something, thanks for easing my mind for me lol

[@misthrax]

Here because i just purchased a pre-owned New 3DS XL for $100 :)

[@dee-zz]

lucky you

[@andyfritter]

I only bought the new 3DS for the Majoras Mask special edition

[@Noah-M-P]

Reasons why I am proud to own a original 3DS XL: 1. It has easier access to a regular size SD card. 2. You can easily toggle WiFi on/off with the slider on the right. 3. It uses regular SD cards instead of micro-SD so it will be harder to lose. 4. I love the red color of my 3DS XL 5. You can insert the game card at the top, hiding it in a perfect fit instead of the bottom exposing a centimeter of the card. 6. It has bigger triggers that fits in the fingers. Downsides and reasons why I could but won’t get a new 3DS: 1. You can customize the faceplate. 2. It has up-to-date software unlike original 3DS. 3. It has all-new shoulder buttons.

[@StarmenRock]

Hey! The speakers on the 3ds xl sucks. Are the new 3ds xl ones better?

[@StarmenRock]

Peter Aguilar damn, thats nice to know

[@MerryBlind]

They are the same on both New 3DS now. Both have the same speakers as the original 3DS I believe, which, oddly enough, were better than the old XL's.

[@StarmenRock]

Merry Blind oh, thank god. I'm still gonna mod it but heck, its better than the xl ones.

[@StarmenRock]

gamehero4 i dont like using headphones all the time, man

[@StarmenRock]

gamehero4 lol what the 3ds isnt that good, its mediocre at best

[@superomnenomen]

I would rather have the OG 3DS by it is cheaper and basically the same and even though the 3D doesn’t have face tracker, I would never use the 3D anyways

[@abrahampalencia9nob441]

8:41 which game is that?

[@nelsonreyestorres4214]

Game: Sonic lost world.

[@abrahampalencia9nob441]

@@nelsonreyestorres4214 thanks man

[@BradleyDS90]

Another thing regarding the new 3ds xl's screen is that it has a much better contrast ratio (much darker blacks). The old 3ds xl looks a bit washed out compared to the new screen.

[@SpidahhhMan]

True.

[@boskojal1681]

Brad Setzer But isn't it stretched ? since the resolution doesn't change and the screen gets bigger (sorry for the revival)

[@dreamskeepmesane]

Which one should I get for christmas? I could get a Nintendo 3ds xl with animal crossing new leaf or I could just get the new Nintendo 3ds xl.

[@Starbug1982]

Rich and complete explanation, very helpful, thank you

[@-_-Code-_-]

i know its petty but i wish the buttons were colored.. im not a native nintendo gamer i play xbox and pc but ive a 3ds for about a year and sometimes when button prompts come up i get confused since im so used to other lay outs.. this is fine since normally i can just look down but i game alot in dark/dim areas and colored buttons or buttons with some form of glow in the dark material would be brilliant... i know some of the new models have them but is it a region thing? like EU got the colors or something or is it special edition consoles.

[@4kjuju224]

[@smolpp5316]

I got the New 3DS XL and I prefer it to my previous XL, but the only thing I hate about it is the glossy finish - whish they just stuck with the matte finish instead

[@pabloarambula4627]

hi my friend, im thinking about upgrading from the old xl to the new xl and im gathering up opinions from people who already have so im absolutley sure. Was it worth the uprgade to you?

[@matt5898]

Honestly it's quite impressive how well games run and play on such low spec hardware

[@Shadow21566]

Will Monster Hunter 4 U look better on the New 3DS XL?

[@bmidir]

nope but if you're basing this off the videos on youtube then yes MUCH better

[@Shadow21566]

LordHades What I mean is the graphics. Will the graphics looks better.

[@bmidir]

nope

[@Shadow21566]

Ah well then I can wait to get a new 3DS XL ty for the info.

[@Engine-871-Mr.smokey83]

Thank you for making this video this video it helped me out big time I did not know the newer Nintendo 3ds XL had a smaller memory card I appreciate you making this video because I plan on buying a Nintendo 3ds XL the older version thanks again sincerely Mr. LITTLE BEAR

[@emersonsawesome]

I like the click feeling on my original 3ds xl and it's good to know the new ones buttons click. Idk if I'll be using the c stick much, but if they release a good enough game that utilizes it well enough I will start to use it. When I got my first Ds which was a Ds lite a really long time ago I used it for a while then lost it. One I found it and used it for a while it broke and I was Ds-less for a while ☹️. Then I went to the Nintendo store in NYC and played around with the old 3ds xl and ended up getting that a few years ago, broke it, got a new one and my brother whacked it out of my hand and the top screen almost fell of completely, the Ds still worked for a little while then the top screen stopped working. Bottom screen still works and audio is still fine, but I'm thinking about getting a new 3ds xl. This is gonna be a long ass comment. xD Ok, so I have a lot of questions... How much is the new 3ds xl? (I live in the US) Is the charger the same as the old xl? How can I transfer all of my games that I downloaded from the eShop from the old xl to the new if I end up buying one? My Downloaded games are: Super Mario Bros. The Lost Levels, Super Mario Bros. 2, Super Mario Bros. 3, Super Mario Land, Super Mario Land 2 Six Golden Coins, Super Mario Land 3 Wario Land, Wario Land 3, Game and Watch Gallery 2, The Legend Of Zelda Four Swords, The Legend Of Zelda Oracle Of Seasons, The Legend Of Zelda A Link Between Worlds, Kirby's Dream Land 2, Mega Man (idk which one...), VVVVVV, Crashmo, BattleMiner, Petit Computer, Photo Dojo, and Undead Storm. If anyone can answer I would really appreciate it, I really want to find out how to transfer my games as the first 3ds I broke had most of these games and I lost all of them when it broke, and I had to buy them all over again, and I don't want that to happen again. Again, any answers will help.

[@Ragnarkrag]
