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 power adapter in the box
  • Rear plate must be removed to access the microSD card slot

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

  • 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...

  • Abstract:  I've been playing on Nintendo handhelds for a long time. With the ubiquity of smartphones and the proliferation of free apps, younger gamers might not realize that back in the 90s, dedicated portable game consoles were a big deal. The ability to take Mari...

  • Handy new controls, Stable 3D display, Faster loading speeds, Supports amiibo toys
  • Screwed-in microSD slot, No charger included
  • 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:  Last Friday, Nintendo released the new iteration of their portable hardware, the “New” Nintendo 3DS XL. This new and improved version brings a lot of new features, but is it worth the investment to upgrade? Nintendo has a history of portable hardware revi...

  • 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...
