New 3DS revealed

[NostalgicRobotX]

Although I was expecting another Circle Pad, I am glad they didn't include it. I'd rather not have two different hardware versions with unique input devices, especially if developers are going to start catering to the newer models. Well, I geuss I COULD get the CCP attachment, but due to it's size and concept, I really don't want to.

I think games like Resident Evil still work fine, and even Monster Hunter worked well on the psp with just the one slide pad. I'm still waiting for Tri G to be localized though, so I can't really comment on it's controls compared to Freedom Unite or P3rd.

Back on topic with the 3DSXL, didn't they exclude the charging cable with asian releases?

Lay off the K2     Actually, I wrote a reply (and then realised before hitting post) asking what it was myself. 
There are just too many antonyms everywhere these days!

Haha, I actually just opened up my laptop to one of my friends on Facebook talking about it, then instantly made the connection before I could even come here to do anything about it.

I for one am looking forward to this. Yeah, I would have liked an integrated CCP, but I understand that it isn't really needed. The bigger screens look great, and will definitely have a better "sweet spot" for 3D viewing. Also I LOVE that they put the rubber bumpers so that they will close on the bottom screen surround (no more fear of vertical screen scratches).

I do have one major gripe though that I can't ignore....
Why the heck did they go with full color displays again instead of only Red & Black? 

[L___E___T]

Luls, I'm breaking out my VB today to play some more. 
I'm glad they're selling a red and black one, because I'm going to stick a big fate dirty Virtual Boy logo on the top!

Anyone who hasn't played a Virtual Boy with Warioland VB - I dare you to play it and not love it!:P

Why are people treating this like a brand new system? It's no different than DS to DS lite or DSi to DSi XL. It's called a hardware revision for a reason.

Screw it I can barely fit the 3ds in my pocket so I'm going to stay away from this awaaaaaaaaaaaaaa,

I do have to wonder if PS Vita fits in my pocket because it looks rather biggy on the pics via PC that I've seen, then again, the PS Vita game cases looked pretty much as big as a BD case but in actuality they're very small.

I know something Sony's gonna do! PS Vita Slim!

Yeah, it's no secret, Sony always ends up releasing a Slim version of their consoles after the original models are out.

The Vita is pretty slim already. That's not the problem. Its length and width make it hard to fit into a trouser pocket.

My wife said she wants a 3DS for Animal Crossing. (I don't think we could share one 3DS and one copy of AC...)
Maybe she'll buy an 3DS LL.

GB Micro didn't work so a huge DS does?

I thought people wanted portable consoles to be small portable consoles not friggin' XL size for Lord's sake.

[petik1]

To be very honest, I usually don't play handhelds when I'm out, unless I'm going for a long drive or if I'm not in a public place. Plus, it's too big? Get some cargo shorts. Problem solved.

Famitsu just broke news on a CPP for the 3ds xl. Now it needs some goggles, and the Virtual Boy 2 will be complete!

[L___E___T]

Yeah the CCP was going to happen, let's see how big it is this time round.

3DS's 3D effect is not as ood as VB's though, shame.  You look AT the 3DS, you look INTO the VB.

[UglyJoe]

You look AT the VB, too.  You just have an eyeshade to block out external light.

[crade]

I'm not pleased, this means my DSXL wont sell for as much

This made me chuckle!
Yes kids i have a filthy mind

Portable devices are supposed to be portable/small whether you like it or not, not damn XL-size.

With the Circle Pad Pro accessory the big just got even bigger.
