  • No second analogue stick, Disappointing battery life, Low, resolution screens
  • We like the 3DS XL. Games have more impact on the bigger screen, and the 3D effects are more impressive and easier to manage. It's also a more comfortable console to hold, and one you'll be happier to play with over longer stretches of time. For these re...
