The editors liked
It's impossible not to love the removable cover plates. They're a very basic means of customising the standard New Nintendo 3DS model but they're bound to appeal to hardcore collectors
As well as the devoted and lifelong followers of the Japanese veteran
Almost every change Nintendo has made here is welcome
And the result is a handheld that finally feels complete. The 3D is now much more consistent
Meaning less headaches and a more enjoyable experience
While the C-stick gives us what we've been asking
The New 3DS' facial tracking makes for a hugely improved 3D gaming experience. Its new analog stick is appreciated and the clip-on covers add a lot of style
New 3D is vastly better
Second analogue nub is long overdue
Still relatively affordable
Improved 3D screen
Changeable faceplates
Massive library of amazing games
Improved processing power
Head tracking gives better 3D experience
Interchangeable face plates for customisation
Super Stable 3D really works
Symmetry of design
Built in NFC and faster CPU for future proof gaming
The editors didn't like
Battery life has always been something of an issue with the entire 3DS range
Especially if you like playing with the auto-stereoscopic effect switched on. While both models of the New Nintendo 3DS offer a slight increase in stamina over their respective
There are a few niggles
Having to remove the back with a screwdriver to change the microSD in 2015 seems crazy
The camera is still quite poor
And the name might cause some confusion for those less familiar with the Nintendo family
The new C Stick has poor feel though
And I can't help wishing for a more significant boost to battery life
