RUMOR: NEW 3DS XL out next month

>still playing SSB3D after SSBU released

>using the cstick/nubbin

lol

So i got my new 3ds and got all data transferred .
i really like this thing. more so for it being an xl

[bluaki]

also, i wish the brightness control were a hardware button instead of software-based

I like the way DSi in particular handled both volume and brightness. It has volume up/down buttons on the side of the system (rather than a slider that you can accidentally move) and you can hold select to use those buttons as brightness up/down.

Every other DS and 3DS system has brightness control in software only.

[don't let's]

I miss those volume wheels

man i just got mine yesterday and wow holy shit

it is so big

im so used to regular rsized

tho i still want reg. sized.  but wow playing on a big screen is really cool

just wow

transferred everything and etc. pretty cool

also used my amiibos for the first time.

how do those of you who now have access to one feel about its pixel density

[6M69I69B9]

man

smh...
tbh imo
some things on the xl look pretty discussing

before i transferred everything i was surprised how sharp the reg 3ds seemed in comparison

awful.  even compared to the normal 3ds xl

[Kalahari Inkantation]

apparently its pixel density is hardly any better than the original gameboy's

lol

It looks like you're playing through a screen door.

I havent really noticed. it doesnt look to bad to me.

[TooB]

although i did notice kingdom hearts looking a bit more jaggy, but nothing distracting

i got my hands on a pair of these the other day (upgrading from a non-xl original model)

+super stable 3d actually makes the 3d slider worth having up at all times, the way it should have been when the original piece of garbage was first launched
+i was lucky enough to get one with ips screens (as opposed to tn screens like the other models use), color quality and viewing angles are immensely better on this model
+layout and overall feel of the face buttons is improved, triggers don't feel quite as fragile (though knowing nintendo's track record with handheld shoulder buttons i doubt they're actually any sturdier)
+i had my concerns about the screen size and reduced pixel density, but honestly it looks fine lol, i greatly prefer these larger screens over the postage stamps that were the original 3ds' and the benefits of the larger screens far outweigh the ppi cost

It looks like you're playing through a screen door. 

i mean it really isn't nearly this bad lol

still, minimum of 720p would be great, and if nintendo's next handheld doesn't manage at least that, in a world where the average $200 shitphone can have a 1080p ips display, then i hope the iphone 7s wipes nintendo off the map once and for all

anyway,

-stupid sd card placement, i really shouldn't need a screwdriver and to pry off the entire back panel to access it
-needlessly convoluted system transfer process full of idiotic and inconvenient drm measures
-the complete lack of tactile feedback from the analog nub - while it works, it simply doesn't move at all
-charger sold separately
-dumb and completely unnecessary glossiness, why in shit's name does nintendo still insist on glossy handhelds when they become dull and covered in body oils within five minutes of use
-the fact that not every model of the new 3ds comes with comes with the vastly superior ips screens, it seems like 66% of them come with the obviously inferior tn screens that the old models use, and because there's no mention of this anywhere on the external packaging and no acknowledgement of the screen tech differences from nintendo, it's entirely luck of the draw whether you get a model with superior ips screens or not (i mean holy shit how is that acceptable)

the second model i picked up has tn screens and the difference in quality compared to the other model is absolutely appalling

i swear to cripes, nintendo doesn't have a goddamn ounce of respect for its brain dead fans, it's legitimately one of the most anti-consumer companies in the gaming industry
