Nintendo's 3DS LL

Nintendo's 3DS LL, left, and 3DS are shown. Nintendo has upgraded its 3DS handheld to sport a screen nearly twice as big as the previous model.

Always funny with handhelds and phones, first the designers try to make the device as small as possible. And now larger versions are being released as an upgrade over the original.

Lol, both top & bottom frame have a universal colour now? I guess the screen is large enough now so they don't need to shamefully hide it in a black frame anymore.

Because it would jeopardize their original 3ds user base? Certainly not retarded....

I remember having something for the gameboy that was basically a magnifying glass with clamps on it, along with a light. They should bring that back for kindle/nook.

i gotten used to a regular size 3ds.
i wont be buying this, there go my stock advice.

No point in getting this larger model. I'll be sticking with my original 3DS. Call me when they make the 3DS Lite.

I would have bought one if they had added another circle pad. But since they're too retarded to do that they won't be getting anymore money from me.

Now Nintendo legend Shigeru Miyamoto is saying that Nintendo is done with the 3DS for now, and is aiming its sights on a next generation portable device. So this current next generation device, the 3DS, is not likely to see any new “improved” releases. That’s right. No 3DSi, no 3DS XL, no 3DSi lite XL. (That last one I would like to see.)

Miyamoto made his feelings clear in the latest interview with IGN: “I really feel like I’m satisfied with the 3DS hardware as it is. I feel like it’s the best for this generation. What we’re thinking about right now is probably going to be for a future generation of handheld.”

I get what you're saying but 3DS XL is not exactly portable in my eyes and possible a different market from the 3DS - like me who would probably wish to play it at home rather than on the train but I certainly wouldn't spend the kind of money for a 3DS XL when a bit more money and you could get a PS Vita.
