The 3DS XL however features the same glasses-free 3D system, and is presumed to endure even longer on a single battery charge than the original 3DS, though we won't know for sure until after some great tech sites put the new 3DS XL through battery evaluations.
Oddly, the all new 3DS XL sports identical control setup as the 3DS and is short of a second thumbpad. We'll be really curious to find whether the bigger body of the 3DS XL could shape up the Circlepad Pro accessory that was unleashed for the 3DS to empower players more control over 3D games.
The 3Ds XL is expected to sell for $ 199.99, just $ 30 more than the existing $ 169.99 inquiring cost of the base 3DS, though this updates might possibly prefigure a 3DS price drop in the near future.
As a gamer, I'm very decidedly enthused with the release of Nintendo 3DS XL and I'm looking forward to purchase this remarkable gaming device to be added in my collection.
