It will be released in Europe July 28th and America August 19th

It will have much larger screens and slightly improved battery life. But still only one control stick (slide pad). Also the start, select and home buttons are actually buttons now.

The colours will be red and blue in America and Red, blue and silver in Europe. And I'm assuming black as well going by the picture below.

Apparently they didn't change the resolution so the games could actually end up looking worse on the bigger screen.

How come they never have purple when it comes out. I will only buy it if it comes in purple. I guess I have to wait until that happens.

I hope they were not foolish enough not to change the resolution when making the screen bigger.

I may get it though for the heck of it, watching netflix on it would be decent.

Greetings. I will be your waifu this season.

I would much rather they brought out a few decent games...


I don't see what's so bad with a small screen the DsI XL sucked.
A bigger top screen woukd be better I'd say or maybe have 2 big screens and the bottom touch screen.

Still new games would be better I've only got LOZ so far so the 3DS has been a waste of money so far.

4, I think.
Original DS
DS lite
DSi
DS XL

3DS is a separate thing, like the DS was to the GBA.

They've been doing this for years though. The original gameboy had the big brick-like one, gameboy colour, gameboy pocket and probably others I forgot about, the GBA had the original GBA and then the SP.

According to Reggie, the games look much better on the bigger screen. About 1:20 into the video he goes on to say how much better games look on the bigger screens.



@Pookie - The 3DS is getting a really nice purple colour soon. And if you're lucky the XL might get it later on as well.

@Steve - I have a couple of games on the 3DS now that I think are fantastic. Resident Evil Revelations, Zelda OOT, Super Mario 3D Land, Mario Kart 7 and Kid Icarus Uprising.

Two hundred dollars? Once more I find myself just going to wait until I buy this system. Someone could just see it better to purchase a xbox or ps3.

I must say though, I'm excited about an Adventure Time game as well as Kingdom Hearts...sheesh.

200 isn't so bad. It's 250 in Australia. The original over here was 350 when it first launched.

Yeah that's why I believe it's a bit bad if you ask me. Considering the prices of other systems and what they're capable of. If the DS were to take the first step in bringing down the price of their games then I'd be happy with paying 200 dollars...but right now it's a no go for me. Give it a few months and it'll be 169 or so.

It's still in the ds family though just because they branded the first dual screen. I'm tired of ds, I want something different.
