The editors didn't like

  • Still dated in terms of tech
  • New 3D isn't perfect
  • Charger isn't included. Seriously
  • 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
  • C
  • Stick feels overly firm and inaccurate
  • No charger included in the box
  • No games utilise the extra power
  • Battery life hasn't tangibly improved
  • No boost to screen resolution
  • No power adapter in the box
  • Rear plate must be removed to access the microSD card slot
  • Battery life similar to older model
  • No proprietary cord for charging out of the box included
  • Extra tools required to swap storage cards
  • Convoluted system transfer process from older models

  • Abstract:  The New 3DS might not look much different from its predecessor at first glance, but it's a combination of several small hardware changes that makes this hand-held gaming console everything the original 3DS should have been. We explain in our New 3DS...

  • Excellent glasses-free 3D, New guts theoretically promise more technically impressive games, Existing 3DS catalog enhanced by new improvements
  • No proprietary cord for charging out of the box included, Extra tools required to swap storage cards, Convoluted system transfer process from older models
  • What we're left with is a mid-generation upgrade that isn't quite essential, but it could be at some point in the future. If you've never owned a 3DS before, this is the one to get. And if you're mulling an upgrade, there are a lot of attractive features...

  • The hardcore, regular 3DS player will definitely appreciate the differences The New Nintendo 3DS XL isn't a dramatic upgrade over the standard 3DS XL model, but it's not meant to be – it's the half-generation improvement, and in that regard, it shows val...

  • A glasses-free 3D screen that convincingly works, Amiibo support, faster processor for speedier operation, 4GB microSD card bundled, extra controls
  • No power adapter in the box, rear plate must be removed to access the microSD card slot, battery life similar to older model
  • Battery life aside the new Nintendo 3DS XL has crafted what can be safely called the best portable games machine of the modern age. However, it is just a device – an enabler. Where the 3DS generally wins out is in the games available for it. And in...

  • Vastly improved 3D effects, Dual analogue controls, More processing power, Even more features
  • Battery life hasn't tangibly improved, No boost to screen resolution
  • With the enhanced 3D screen, second analogue stick and revised controls, this is the best version of the 3DS made even better. Nintendo seems to have thought very carefully about each and every change, and produced a handheld that can handle more ambitio...

  • C, stick feels overly firm and inaccurate, No charger included in the box, No games utilise the extra power
  • 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....
