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.

F-35B geezus, why doesn't Nintendo just drop out of the Console / Handheld making buisness?
Too be honest I can't tell if you are a troll or just a completely ignorant Xbox fanboy, you think that Nintendo who are the reason gaming is what it is, should stop because they enlarge their handheld screen? Do explain.

I don't think they realised how much the 3ds failed so they made a bigger one to make it more obvious that it's crap

TTGTalented Just wish they'd release some new games. Instead of having Mario Kart 5326478324 and Super Mario bros 276348.
Agreed. Why not a new F-Zero game? Or possibly a *new* Star Fox game? (Not talking about the remake for 3ds, that doesn't count.)
