Online gaming publication CVG has managed to get their hands on a Nintendo 3DS XL system. The Nintendo 3DS XL isn’t due to be released until July 28th in Europe, and August 19th in North America. The Nintendo 3DS XL will retail for $199.99 in North America, but in Europe the pricing is determined by retailers.
Thanks blackabe111
IGN UK have one as well!
Beat me to it…
Here if you all are wondering! A lot longer and in more depth! http://uk.ign.com/videos/2012/07/02/nintendo-3ds-xl-unboxing
Where is the SD card slot?
Just where the dsi(XL) had its SD card slot.
Getting This!
You sure? Didn’t see a charger.
Just use a DSi charger or the one which came with your 3DS.
Or you could simply order one online or go to a store and buy one….
Why is it so late in ‘muhrica? I live in Europe so I should be happy.. But I think it’s strange that America always seems to draw the shortest stray when it comes to big N products..
They get it much cheaper though!
i find it funny that ur are trying to say America but u cant even spell it lol u are a disgraced to that country.
I find it funny that you have appalling grammar, sort yourself out. Moron.
Lol he said he lives in Europe. Idiot.
u r a idiot.
” You are an idiot ”
grammar please.
” I find it funny that you are trying to say America but you can’t even spell it.
Lol, you are a disgrace to that country ”
Your move amerifag,
(i’m dutch by the way)
Oh and by the way, America isn’t a country, it’s a continent.
the U.S.A. or United States Of America is a country.
America? But I live in America and I got the products like one month after and like two times more expensive.
Thank god the stylus comes out of the side again <3 that and i'm glad they announced a new circle pad pro. However, they should have given it the second analog to begin with when it has a bigger screen…
It kind of gives third party hardware developers a chance to make their own version of pro circle pad or controller hand grip.
I wouldn’t say third party options are a bad thing for the consumers though. I mean, they aren’t making a new system, they’re making a bigger 3DS, and keeping the specs the same, so it makes sense that they didn’t add the circle pad in. Maybe in the future they will, but the original isn’t even 2 years old yet, so they have time. Besides, they probably wanted to keep the system thin and sleek like it looks to be. If they added the second analog stick, it would have needed the double triggers too, and that would have added bulk, so I think they made the right decision. Besides, the system would have cost more then, and people mostly don’t wanna pay that much for a handheld.
well tech it was first show in 2010 an people plan to put it on that Holiday but delayed so yeah i would say its 2 years but 1 for released.
Peacefully……
@Aaron: That would alienate the people who have the original 3DS. It’s best to leave the second analog stick optional for now.
yup it is not the time this.
keep in mind they can not piss of the consumers who had buy the 3ds on day one.
they could a least put the second cricle pad :/
not gong to happen man; nintendo will piss lots of consumers of like that.
IGN had there’s up first didn’t they?
Soooooo it doesn’t have a charger?? lmao
you can use your orignial 3ds charger for it. America gets a charger with it though.
What if you plan to trade in your original 3ds for this einstein?
You shouldn’t have to trade in the charger lol? I didn’t have to when I traded in my DSi for the 3ds? Or did I? Great now I’m questioning myself! lol (ignore this comment)
plus America will come with a charger.
you had to last time i traded a handheld in.
u can buy a charger at ur local store.
Local store? LOL 711?
u bastard stole my nickname but who cares?
not me i love my name!
No charging cradle???? But I like using mine…..
You can buy the separately, just like with the charger.
*them, lol sorry
In North America, will one come with ours just like the charger? I personally love the charging cradles and I wish the DS lite had one.
It hasn’t been confirmed yet, but possibly, yes :)
for the video behind the 3ds xl it looks like it supports that.
Ugh…I’m so torn. The 3DS bodies are gorgeous (ESPECIALLY Midnight Purple) and go and muck it up. In my opinion the 3DS XL body looks almost as bad as the original DS. I was actually excited about the XL until I found out that the only selling point was bigger screens and longer battery life. I still may break down and get one but I wish they had AT LEAST improved the camera slightly. Really, Nintendo, .3 megapixels? Is that the best you can do?
the camera quality was a bit disappointing… even for 3D
Agreed. They could have improved the camera. Then again, it’s the same quality as my computer’s camera, so I can’t really complain that it has the same quality as my laptop.
Dammit !!! Lucky you …
Not getting this, much more expensive in Europe. Could easily afford this and wii u, but will buy about 5 launch titles instead. When price was announced I went and bought a vita, because was same price and i already had regular 3ds. I would of bought one if they were the same price as regular.
The silver is SO sexy! America only gets red and blue! I mean They could have at least given us a black or white! I’m SO jelly of you Europeans right now! Haha!
I’d rather have a smaller choice of colours than having to pay about $80 more than Americans and not even getting a charger included with the console.
True true! I guess we are more fortunate on the larger scale!
Yeah, but I am glad we get the silver one, although it would have been nice to get the white one too, that’s only coming to Japan though :(
this^ banana man.
Hehe… Banana man… I like my new nickname from peteriuss
Is there a charging cradle included with the 3DSXL?
No, but you can buy it separately.
who knows but it does support it.
make balance….gr
I would like to upgrade but it’s not going to happen as I like my Zelda 3DS
well its not an upgrade dude more like a second option.
im in the same boat :I. im thinking i might just buy an xl and keep my zelda 3ds. i really love the way the zelda 3ds looks and its a cool thing to have, yet i do want a bigger screen and a slightly longer battery life :/
Exact same boat also. I know If I sell my zelda 3DS I’ll end up regretting it because it looks so awesome. Then again I could use the money to get a xl. I’ve been stressing over this for like a week lol
Put it on the charger, and get it ready to play
It looks so awesome!
Ugh. I kind of want one. I don’t want to trade in my 3DS but I still kind of want one of these. I’ll probably wait for more colors though.
It looks so sexy yet so unsexy at the same time.
I won’t be getting one, at least not anytime in the near to not-so-near future. I barely use my 3DS as it is.
this^, although not this^ when luigi’s mansion comes out.
I definitely like the XL better. I think it will become really popular, after all, there will be a SSB game to be played on it in the future. I think people will appreciate the bigger screen then. Leave luck to heaven.
Naah. There needs to be a fix on the damn 3D screen problem! Then I would purchase this piece of technology.

i don’t think it’ll sell as well in uk, because parents will buy the cheaper option with a charger.
Hmm
Pingback: Nintendo 3DS Connect » The very first Nintendo 3DS XL unboxing video
i do not see the appeal of unboxing videos
You may not understand this, but it’s just a matter of curiosity. I’ll never buy an Xbox, but I’m curious about the packaging. Also, there was a time when I saw an unboxing of the Wii. We were in the middle of the great Wii shortage era, and I thought I would never own one. The unboxing vid made me feel like I owned one somehow. I know… It’s weird.
hey, people are curious of what inside the BOX!!!!!!
its to tease us, just like teaser trailers, you know its a teaser and it wont show much, but your curiosity always lets you watch it no matter what…
Is the battery any better?
i think so.
Reblogged this on ReBlog.
Still only one analog slider, and no power cord included. Call me when Nintendo pulls its head out of its ass!
Only reason at all I will be buying one is because my 3DS model has a loose hinge so it moves. LOL.
u mean where it holds the both screen if thats what ur asking the same with mii.
If I hold down the bottom part of my 3ds and pull the screen upwards slightly it will move around 0.2CM
I JUST FOUND OUT ABOUT THIS TODAY!? TOTALLY GETTING THIS!!!
interestiing
I want a completely black 3ds xl in Europe.
The only thing that it disturbs me a lot is this and its verry true.I hope 3ds xl doesnt have it!
http://techcrunch.com/2011/04/20/potential-3ds-design-flaw-causing-screen-scratches-cracked-d-pads/
i hope U people know it right?
Also I use a piece of cloth to protec my 3DS screen
protect*^
microsoft is the future!
*microsoft has no future!
apple has not future
Gizmodo did a test on the Ds and 3ds and thry found ouy that after opening & closing for a maximum of 1000x the hinges wore out or broke in half smh im getting an Ipad ..ninty fix your shit

Well at 200 bucks id rather get an itouch witj apps,retina,music,netflix,hulu, and more oh and smartglass technology with kinect interface.

Ugh it looks so ugly. That size defeats the purpose of being a portable. Besides it cant do HALF the things my iphone can do. AT 200 bucks just buy a netbook or laptop…real gamers not fanboy approve this

@anaylist KILL YOURSELF!
Why would i buy the same console twice within 12 months?
I already have a 3DS, so why pay another £200 just to play the same games on a bigger screen?
It just doesnt make any sense to me.
