This is a pretty cool little unit. I played with one for a few hours and had a chance to play two games. New Super Mario Bros. 2 is a great demonstration of what the 3DS XL can do – really rich environments, great graphics, and stellar gameplay make it a must have title if you pick up a 3DS.
What I really liked about the XL is that the 3D effect seems less strong than on the original 3DS. Playing the first one I had to look away every so often or the eye strain would get pretty bad – I don’t seem to have that problem on the XL, though it could also be because the screen is a lot larger. The games also seem pretty well thought out and the 3D effect isn’t too gimmicky.
Final Verdict: probably not as strong a buy as an iPod Touch if you want versatility, but if you want pure gaming and the Nintendo characters, this is a solid upgrade from the DS Lite.
