The editors liked
Second directional stick added
Face tracking increases 3D viewing angles
Faster processor
Incredible game library
Much improved 3D
Faster processor is great
The 3D screens are improved by new face-tracking
And the larger size offers a less cramped viewing experience. Internal tweaks and updates add a behind-the-scenes boost
Smoother 3D experience
Great new C-Stick and controls
Better battery life
The editors didn't like
Cstick feels overly firm and inaccurate
No charger included in the box
No games utilise the extra power
Nintendo's online system needs work
Interface still a little clunky
Awful camera
The poor battery life hasn't improved. Having to remove the back of the console to change the SD card is a poor design choice and the legacy data transfer process is infuriating. Also
There's no AC charger in the box -- you have to buy one separately
It's the games that make the system, right? That's especially true with the Nintendo 3DS, which judged on its technical merits isn't a particularly great bit of hardware. The graphics are well behind those of the PlayStation Vita, the 3D effect is finic...
Abstract: First thing’s first: in keeping with Nintendo’s recent reputation for confusing its customers, the New Nintendo 3DS does not come bundled with a charging device. It’s a baffling decision, and one Christmas present buying parents should be forewarned about...

Smoother 3D experience, Great new C-Stick and controls, Better battery life
Still a bit chunky, Face tracking has a few flaws, Removes the hard Wireless on/off switch
I already have a 3DS. One of the original ones, mind you, but it's still a 3DS. I love it to bits for playing all of the Pokemon my tiny brain can handle. I've been told that moving from the original 3DS to something like the 3DS XL is a revelation. I hel...

Abstract: Nintendo's New 3DS XL has more in common with existing 3DS systems than it might want to admit, but it's still a solid upgrade option for older 3DS owners.It's been a while since I'd laid down any cash on a new Nintendo portable.That in itself speaks volu...

If you don't already own a 3DS this new version is a no brainer. It's sleeker, the 3D is improved and it will operate forthcoming software its predecessors cannot. The 3DS really is the best handheld console on the market, and its software line-up featur...

The massively improved 3D more than makes up for a relatively small list of updates and some frustrating design choices....

Abstract: The New 3DS XL features a second stick about the face buttons, a hint of colour and a refined layout.While previously any movement of your head or the system would cause uncomfortable blurring or a complete loss of the effect, the new tech uses facial rec...

Nintendo's online system needs work, Interface still a little clunky, Awful camera,
If you've already got a 3DS XL, the New 3DS XL is worth considering. If you're still rocking an original 3DS, the New 3DS models are almost a must-have upgrade. The two new models look better, run faster and are actually make 3D worth using. Despite the ...

When you first pull the New 3DS out of the box, you can't help but be a little impressed by the device, especially if you're an original 3DS owner. It's quite a bit bigger, and it features a more matte-like finish than the paint job of Nintendo's older ha...
