Glasses-free 3D is back and better than ever on the New Nintendo 3DS.

That moment when you're quarantined and you want to play pokemon on your old 3ds.

This guy is probably the Best reviewer IGN has had in a long time. Great review

Holy crap it's been out for 2 years already? I was looking into one on the deals coming up... super hyped, hope I can get one. Haven't played a Nintendo handheld in years.

I like how he was talking about how great the 3D was while showing clips with the switch off.

The console had too much water, an unpredictible AI, it was Too Hard to play games on cus it is not xbone and the multiplayer is totally broken but hey, I'm a huge Nintendo fanboy so here's a 8.8 anyway!" - Ryan McCaffrey and Alien Isolation 5.9 IGN

My body is Just release it already Nintendo, would PLEASE?! NINTENDO JUST RELEASE IT ALREADY MY BODY IS READY

[OctoNico]

Probably going to get the XL version. Would be happy if there would be a special edition in combination with MM 3D. A violet version with a Majora's Mask print on the system would be gorgeous.

No charger... Nintendo disappoints me! Even though I already own a regular 3DS and would'n have a problem if I decided to upgrade. They have to consider that there are people out there who'll buy these as their first handheld!

I got one, despite me wanting to wait and see if Nintendo would release another, better, 3ds. I came to the conclusion though that there's no way Nintendo would make another system that has exclusive games, so I figured that even if another model had come out, that the new 3ds xl would be good enough for me.

After having the original for years, and skipping the 3ds xl and 2ds, I finally have a model worth upgrading, and I must say it's better, a LOT better.

I used to get hand cramps from the old 3ds for being too small, and having sharp corners, this model is so much more comfortable to hold, and I don't have to charge it every five seconds.

I used to rarely use the 3d but now I use it all the time. It's a really nice little system.

I just got my red one today, all I can say is it's amazing and I love it. For a longtime nintendo fan since the late 90's I really like this new console. I got to transfer my NNID and my games to my new one too. :)

[BigDuck]

C'mon IGN, that's a 9.3+ console

It’s 2021 and I’m waiting for a new Ds

[Xander-gjsu]

Can’t believe it’s been 8 years it doesn’t feel like almost a decade since release

[ismawlgaming]

8.8 because it doesnt support call of duty

[KyleeAsakura]

Was considering looking into an XL, I love my 3DS but the screen is often too small to adequately see everything that's going on - especially in SSB.

[battlefrontplayr]

Buying one today! The last handheld gaming device i had was the first DS so im super hyped!!

[JayMdh]

I have a question ! can i play games like monsterhunter3 ulti with the c stick or do i have to you the cross on the touchscreen like with normal ds ? pls answer ! :)

[SuperCoolTonyy]

The no face plates on the xl is a good thing for me cause that leaves a possibility for a cool special edition one I'd want

[thedutchess]

i want one! but do i go for xl or not xl. can i fit these in my pocket?easily carry them and play them on the tube?never owned a hand held system.thanks
