Nintendo unveils Nintendo 3DS XL
Click for hardware gallery Nintendo 3DS XL increases the size of the handheld's top screen from 3.58 inches to 4.88 inches, and the lower screen from 3.02 inches to 4.18 inches, which Nintendo says gives players 90% more screen space.
Overall 3DS XL is 46% larger than the standard 3DS at 93x156x22mm and weight of 336 grams, compared to the original 3DS's 74x134x21mm and 235 grams.
Despite this, the XL will feature improved battery life of 3 to 6.5 hours when playing 3DS software and 5 to 8 hours when playing original DS games.
However, the new handheld doesn't feature an extra directional nub - meaning the XL will probably need its own version of the Circle Pad Pro if titles like Monster Hunter and Metal Gear Solid: Snake Eater 3D are to be accommodated.

It's about time they brought out something new, not other versions of handhelds people don't want.

Nit3Krawlr They just keep making these things bigger and bigger.
I was thinking the same thing... do people even buy these anyways?

TehDarkness Glad I never bought a 3DS now. Still got a DSi which I've only got because I was given it as a present because I was using an old Phat DS from release until the DSi XL came out.
Might pick the 3DS XL up, as long as it doesn't cost to much.
Or hopefully the normal 3DS might drop in price.
or if it cost that much money i would get a ipad 1 or ipad 2

I think this is dumb and Nintendo should just release the next generation Nintendo handheld. I mean the Gameboy went on for a pretty long time, but this is just getting stupid. Nintendo is releasing an upgraded DS, then eventually releases a larger/XL version. The Gameboy had the original Gameboy, Gameboy Pocket, Gameboy Color, Gameboy Advance (played Color games too), Gameboy Advance SP (same thing just flipped open like a flip phone or DS). I think I missed some, and it is a lot, but with the Gameboy, the 'Gameboy' idea was just the same. The games were always different.
