3DS XL vs. NEW 3DS XL - Comparison! [Hardware]

This video is part of a 2-part series, one video for 'Hardware' and another video for 'Software and Games'. Here are the links for both -

It's time to compare the old 3DS XL to the shiny NEW Nintendo 3DS XL!! The new model is glossy, features a faster processor and NFC capabilities and also some surprise changes like louder volume, a higher contrast display, c-stick and extra buttons! Let's compare!

Many of the changes are similar those of the 3DS and the NEW Nintendo 3DS so be sure to check out that comparison video too for all the details not covered in this new video series. Here are the links for the original 3DS vs. New Nintendo 3DS Ultimate Comparison -

*update* - The dimensions are slightly off. The old 3DS XL is 22mm, not 21.5mm. Small detail perhaps worth taking note for spec heads ;)

My heart skips a beat whenever you smack both the DS together. :(

I really find the name for the "New" nintendo 3ds so confusing when i search for things on it because people sell nintendo 3ds xl and write new in front of it meaning it's never been used rather then the actual console New nintendo 3ds xl... get what I mean lol they really shouldve named it something different!

People that bend the screen all the way back have a special seat in hell.

Nice detailed review but for me the most important addition to New 3DS (XL) is active face tracking for amazing 3D effect where you can move, tilt and shake and still see image change as you do.

Didn't expect you to go into so fine details in this video. Very nice :)

NihongoGamer - your videos are very in depth, loving them. Keep up the great work mate. I hope the new 3DS and New 3DS XL comes to South Africa soon.

I change my mind. I'm going for the XL instead of the regular sized new 3ds. Thanks for the review:). It really has influenced my decision.

The way he handles the 3DS' hurts me.

Thanks for this! Awesome description of both and it helped me a lot.

I actually like the placement of the sd card on the New 3DS.
It takes away that little flap that I always thought was going to break..
Also, it's not THAT much of a pain to take the backing off (only a couple of screws) and put in a different one.

Great review! I'm getting a new 3DS XL in two weeks, I'm so excited.

[SoulBreker]

That click on the volume slider is a Godsend, I remember how many times I was caught playing my 3DS late at night as a kid without headphones because I would accidentally nudge my left hand up and blast the Pokemon battle theme from ORAS at full blast. lol

[Clepticomet]

this was so indepth, thank you! I have to say that i much prefer the o3ds' placement of select, start and power buttons, plus the ease of sd card removal
