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

The New Nintendo 3DS XL is the best version of Nintendo's handheld yet, but not everyone will want to upgrade. Ever since the Game Boy became the Game Boy Pocket, Nintendo has made a habit of refining its portable consoles repeatedly, until the...

Abstract: When we saw the glasses-free 3D of the original Nintendo 3DS back in 2011, we were suitably impressed, and then promptly disappointed when the effect kept breaking and left us suffering headaches. Now, Nintendo is back with the New Nintendo 3DS consoles w...

Abstract: The announcement of a completely new 3DS last year came at a somewhat fated moment. Due to my carelessness of leaving my 3DS within reach of my then almost two year old daughter, I was left with a handheld without its Circle Pad nub. Panicked, I was scram...
