Our take on the Nintendo 3DS XL System

The Nintendo 3DS XL is a dual-screen handheld with a glasses-free 3D top screen and a touch bottom screen. A 3D Depth Slider lets you dial the effect up, down or off. It adds a Circle Pad, gyro and motion sensors, dual outward cameras, an inward camera and a pedometer, plus AR games and built-in apps. It suits players who want the larger-screen version of the 3DS library, including DS cartridges. Against the smaller 3DS it offers bigger screens and longer battery life, but it drops the AC adapter from the box in some regions and has no second Circle Pad.

  • About the Nintendo 3DS XL System

    The Nintendo 3DS XL is a handheld game system with two screens. The upper screen shows 3D visuals to the naked eye, so characters and objects appear to have depth. The lower screen is a touch screen that works with a telescoping stylus, which is stored in the system.

    A 3D Depth Slider sets how strong the 3D effect is. Players can raise it to the highest level, lower it to a moderate setting, or turn 3D off completely.

    The system has a Circle Pad, a gyro sensor, a motion sensor and a pedometer. It also has an inward-facing camera and dual outward-facing cameras, and it comes with augmented reality (AR) games and built-in applications.
