Nintendo 3DS XL Review

Its that time of the year when I feel like spending some monies just to reward myself. Work is getting stressful and tiring, so, just 1 week ago I got myself a new gaming console – the Nintendo 3DS XL. Although the DS craze has been around for some time, I never found myself attracted to getting the new 3DS, even after Nintendo announced a price drop of the console. It is also probably due to lack of time that gave me this mindset ^^”

Check out one of the commercials for the 3DS XL.

Some specs of the 3DS XL

in 2D and 3D
Upper Screen: 4.88 inches
Lower Screen: 4.18 inches
2 outer cameras
1 inner camera
336g
4GB SD card included

The 3DS XL is region locked. Got myself the local set which is able to play US and local region games. Only thing that I would be losing out on is Club Nintendo. Overall I still prefer a 1 year warranty for my new gadgets.

Picked up two games with my new console: Cooking Mama 4 and Super Mario Bros 2.

A SD card compared to the game card. Ordered myself a card case so that I can carry around when I am traveling. It should arrive this week!

Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate (Digital version) on my 3DS XL. Bought it at 19.99 USD. Have only spent approximately 1 hour on it though ^^”.

I am still exploring the 3DS system. Will post more game/loots once they arrive.

2DS will arrive this month, but I decided to go for the 3DS model as I prefer the clam design.

One thing to look foward to now is the release of Pokemon X and Pokemon Y, happening this 12 October 2013! Be sure to grab your 3DS (or 2DS) console if you haven’t done so!
