Never owned a Nintendo handheld since the DS Lite, but this is going to be a day one purchase for me. I don't think there is a better time to get a 3DS than now. Can't wait!
So blunty, I think you need to get into the audiobooks industry. I'd totally love hearing your voice reading the wheel of time or song of ice and fire books lol
Picked up a New 3DS with a couple of cover plates &so far im loving the upgrades. This is what the the 3DS should have been like whrn it first launched. Also found a neat little trick on the New 3DS, when watching a UA-cam video in the browser you can use the new c-stick to change the speed of the video.
ANYTHING would have been a better name. I don't know what's going on over at Nintendo, but whoever is coming up with their hardware names needs to find a new job. The Wii-U was a terrible name and led to people thinking it was just the name for the gamepad, and not a new console. Same goes for this thing. The fact that Nintendo doesn't exactly market these kinds of things very well doesn't help either.
I'm sold! Getting the NEW 3DS XL tomorrow even though I already have the 3DS XL. I always wished the 3D worked better. I mean come on! The name of the console is "3D"S. I bought it for the 3D gaming experience.
Gotta admit I like the changes, but I will be waiting a couple more years for them to make another 3ds xl that maybe has 2 thumb sticks or some more major change for me to switch out my xl just yet.
Nice one! The review was realy profesionell morel than i had expected it your voice is realy decent for reviewing and you covered the stuff i want to know specialy in a trustworthy manner so that i didnt even doubt one of your oppinions... thanks
Love mine so far. Its incredible when compared to the old. The face tracking 3D really, REALLY does work well. I thought at first they just made it so they enlarged the sweet spot to a greater area- but no, you can totally tell its watching your body.
Wow! I definitely want that upgraded internet! it's cool that you can press home and check the web if you're stuck and you don't gotta boot up your game again
I'm such an idiot....C STICK!? I thought it was a stopper to keep the screens from touching....like that little thingie they put in the middle of a pizza in the box.
@ Blunty ! This is the best/most honest review video / info trailer i've ever seen (or have yet to have seen) on this "NEW" 3ds system ! Thank for doing this from a real "hand held gamer" point of view & the extra info on the c-stick,micro sd card swampage is helping me come to a conclusion that pre-ordering one and doing system transfer is where im headed with my current 3DSXL awsell !!
It's good to know the new 3D functionality actually does what's advertised. I was wary that it might be limited to specific angles or something, but that doesn't seem to be the case. I look forward to actually enjoying games in 3D for once. Although, I'm interested in the C-stick and Smash not taking a year to start up more than anything.
Love the video, and I;m excited for the New 3DS XL when it comes State side. Also, can't wait for your first 30 video on Alpha Sapphire! The return to Hoenn will be grand! Cheers!
Very cool review Blunty! If only the new 3DS XL could switch faceplates, it'd be perfect, but still looks like a must upgrade for me (and my little ol' launch 3DS)
Mainly purchasing the new 3ds xl because of the added power to CPUs, added ram and the c stick. I didn't buy the circle pad pro because of how clunky and unportable the system becomes. I'm not entirely sure if I'll use the 3d. The ghosting effect and sweet spot on the original made it tough for me to use, but I'll see how the 3d turns out of the new one
I especially like the new volume control placement. Whenever I play, my hand tends to slide sometimes in which case the volume gets altered from how it was when I had it before.
Great Video Blunty! Indeed, it isn't the next Nintendo hand-held console. But these improvements caught my attention. I would buy one of this. Thanks for the review! Greetings
thanks blunty i want one now because i still use a part broken dsi! that thing had so many games so now that i know the ds games are compatible i want to buy one!
For the love of god that volume control placement, I hate the placement on the old 3ds I've said several times to friends....Why in the hell is the volume button placed where it is compared to the 3d button and why right where my hands go to bump it all the damn time. I'd get one just for that.
Nice, pre-ordered with Zelda Marjora's Mask :) I was tired of the long download times and O/S slowness of the old 3DS XL.... I'm a digital games down loader you see. And I have a strange penchant for Amiibos which I would never have dreamed of buying before they came out (I don't like statues, models etc not since I was a kid !). One question if I order an Ulstrascan micro SDHC Extreme PRO 64Gig SD card and format it to FAT32 via 3rd party PC formatting tool do you reckon the New 3DS XL will accept it ? I have a funny feeling that my library is going to increase massively and I want to have everything on the system no on cards in a drawer.
Just came back from EB with my new 3DS ~~ This time I get the normal one instead the XL. I like the plate-changeable feature, it may look silly but I just like it :))
So if future 3ds games get support for the c stick, will this mean that these games will also work with the cpp? Since its the same programming i guess?
Thanks for letting me know that it has the same screen resolution. I'll just stick to my xl for this generation. The 3d wasn't really that important for me.
looks good, but i'd rather just wait till they start putting out the specially decalled ones, and a game that really catches my eye. Plus my poor red pokemon 3ds XL still looks brand new, i can't go replacing it already. >
Mate i know I'm a little late to the party but I jus bought a new 3DS XL and In Love with it specially i have bought Legen Of Zelda Ocarina of Time and Link between worlds Mario 3d and mario bros 2 and now my arsenal is complete i own The Xbox one X Ps4 pro PsVita Nintendo Switch, Nintendo Wii U 😉😉😉👌👌👌 ,the only problem is that i don't know what to play first 🤪🤪

Super 3DS would of been an awesome name.
OMG thats what i told my friends and yes that would have been a better name
ANYTHING would have been a better name. I don't know what's going on over at Nintendo, but whoever is coming up with their hardware names needs to find a new job. The Wii-U was a terrible name and led to people thinking it was just the name for the gamepad, and not a new console. Same goes for this thing.

Couldn't agree more.
Deadly Turtle I've never played any Pokemon game ever.
Oktay Yildirim It's a Pokemon reference. Some fully evolved Pokemon can "Mega Evolve" during battle.
I'm sold! Getting the NEW 3DS XL tomorrow even though I already have the 3DS XL. I always wished the 3D worked better.
I mean come on! The name of the console is "3D"S. I bought it for the 3D gaming experience.
I only play with 3d on, and considering I previously only had the original tiny cosmo black 3ds, this new XL was a HUGE upgrade.
This was a well covered and in depth review, thank you very much for your efforts.
Hey, Blunty was right! This is awesome!
Gotta admit I like the changes, but I will be waiting a couple more years for them to make another 3ds xl that maybe has 2 thumb sticks or some more major change for me to switch out my xl just yet.
Haha, that was one of the best reviews i've seen, complete, and really funny, thanks a lot!
Nice one! The review was realy profesionell morel than i had expected it your voice is realy decent for reviewing and you covered the stuff i want to know specialy in a trustworthy manner so that i didnt even doubt one of your oppinions... thanks
I live in Ireland and i'll be picking mine up next Friday, can't wait to start using it especially with Smash Bros.
A great honest informative review! I subbed
Just the information i needed to know :3
Thank you for going in depth on the 3D part, Now i want the new XL Really bad.
Blimey blunty your voice is as smooth as butter.
This is what they call a real review unlike they other no other preview... Good luck bro
Great review! I am interested in buying a (new) nintendo 3ds xl and your review gave me all the information that I needed. Thank you Blunty!
Love mine so far. Its incredible when compared to the old. The face tracking 3D really, REALLY does work well. I thought at first they just made it so they enlarged the sweet spot to a greater area- but no, you can totally tell its watching your body.
That's answered every single one of my questions and I now know that upgrading is for me. Thanks for that.
Wow! I definitely want that upgraded internet! it's cool that you can press home and check the web if you're stuck and you don't gotta boot up your game again
Thanks, Blunty! I think you just convinced me to get one!
yup me too brotha man, nintendo should pay him
Same
I'm such an idiot....C STICK!?

Good to see a fellow Aussie! Great video man :)
A great review to watch while eating breakfast. Good job Blunty.
Getting this either tomorrow or Friday. Very informative and straight to the point. You, my friend just got a sub.
Amazing review! I forgot how good you can do reviews. Please make more, your reviews are very meaningful, i love them :)
Great review, very informative :)
Right when I said it won't work in the dark he corrects me
I can always count on you for an honest review
It's good to know the new 3D functionality actually does what's advertised. I was wary that it might be limited to specific angles or something, but that doesn't seem to be the case. I look forward to actually enjoying games in 3D for once. Although, I'm interested in the C-stick and Smash not taking a year to start up more than anything.
Cheers dude. Seeing as ive never owned a 3ds you have sold it to me. Gonna treat myself to one when they eventually come out in the uk.
Great vid
yo blunty, do you know how well the face tracking functions for people who use corrective lenses
PAINTuRED Damn...I did MEAN to mention that specifically in the video... but yes... works fine when I've got my glasses on.
Blunty thanks
I like your review, short and sweet but still very useful information
Love the video, and I;m excited for the New 3DS XL when it comes State side. Also, can't wait for your first 30 video on Alpha Sapphire! The return to Hoenn will be grand! Cheers!
I was so happy when it came out in australia after Japan!! Our first console that came to australia first!! If that's right..
Man I just watched a couple of your videos and I gotta say, I love the way that you organize and present your reviews, keep it coming man :)
Nice review, answered all my questions about this device!
Blunty I love you man! Great reviews and someone who ISN'T biased :)
this was an awesome review i loved it, it was very specific
Very cool review Blunty! If only the new 3DS XL could switch faceplates, it'd be perfect, but still looks like a must upgrade for me (and my little ol' launch 3DS)

Great review, might consider picking one of these up now!
Thanks, dude. Great review. SO EXCITED.
Been waiting for this video! Thanks Blunty :)
I want this so bad 😐
Awesome review as always Blunty. Cheers.
Awesome vid blunty

Great in depth review!
Thank you for the review. My mind has been made up to upgrade. Thanks again Blunty!

I like your review. Can't wait for it to be in stores in america. :)
I especially like the new volume control placement. Whenever I play, my hand tends to slide sometimes in which case the volume gets altered from how it was when I had it before.
Great Video Blunty!
Indeed, it isn't the next Nintendo hand-held console.
But these improvements caught my attention. I would buy one of this.
Thanks for the review!
Greetings
Really good review!
Great review Blunty
I'm glad to hear the 3D headtracking works, since that was a major drawback to the old models - although I never turned the 3D off.
Japan and Australia is lucky and us in America have to wait until 2015 😭
Nice job euth the review you definitely convinced me but i could tell what that pixelized picture was.
i only have a 2ds. and this new 3ds seems like a perfect choice since im a huge monster hunter fan and they have a bundle ^^
I’m saving 300 hundred dollars for a new 3ds cause I never had one well I did hav one but my uncle sold it without me knowing with all my games
Great review. Thanks.
Good review, thank you so much.
Thank you, I wasn't sure if it was a good choice to buy a 3ds xl but I understand it a lot better
Nice review :)
thanks blunty
i want one now because i still use a part broken dsi!
that thing had so many games so now that i know the ds games are compatible i want to buy one!
I hate you blunty.
Now I want a 3DS and Wii U.
Dang it.
BTW Great video.
:)
nice review!
For the love of god that volume control placement, I hate the placement on the old 3ds I've said several times to friends....Why in the hell is the volume button placed where it is compared to the 3d button and why right where my hands go to bump it all the damn time. I'd get one just for that.
I have big hands, I always bump the volume button it's annoying.
Thanks for the video :)
I'm hoping there'll be a Majora's Mask new 3DS XL design, so I'll be holding off buying one for now.
Luckily, I got one. :)
Very informative video

impressive review
So if future 3ds games get support for the c stick, will this mean that these games will also work with the cpp? Since its the same programming i guess?
the fact he dident touch base on the stylus spot change means its not as bad as the first 3ds,
Why do I have a creeping suspicion that the original 3DS was invented by a bitter southpaw?
I think I'll pick up the regular version tomorrow.
As a MURICAHN I can say I am indeed jelly
Thank you Blunty!
Thanks for letting me know that it has the same screen resolution.
I'll just stick to my xl for this generation. The 3d wasn't really that important for me.
Awesome vid
This thing looks wicked awesome.
looks good, but i'd rather just wait till they start putting out the specially decalled ones, and a game that really catches my eye. Plus my poor red pokemon 3ds XL still looks brand new, i can't go replacing it already. >
The regular one has interchangeable faceplates
Mate i know I'm a little late to the party but I jus bought a new 3DS XL and In Love with it specially i have bought Legen Of Zelda Ocarina of Time and Link between worlds Mario 3d and mario bros 2 and now my arsenal is complete i own The Xbox one X Ps4 pro PsVita Nintendo Switch, Nintendo Wii U 😉😉😉👌👌👌 ,the only problem is that i don't know what to play first 🤪🤪
I got to The 2DS because my I'm Partially blind and need glasses
If i didn't know any better i'd say this person is a fan of pokémon
I think I have heard your voice in some BBC documentaries on the nature, animals and stuffs like that...(^^).
Nice cant wait for mh4
That Pokémon alpha sapphire though. *involuntary eye twitch movements due to being European*
It also loads and quits smash bros 3ds faster
Yup, 2023 and STILL love gaming on my NEW 3DS XL. Suck it Switch.
that second analog stick looks like it uses the same technology as those IBM (now Lenovo) ThinkPad mouse nubs.
Noooo!!!! Blunty Sire, damn you. U really make me wanna buy them asap.
it only works on the 3ds, you have the 3ds
omg a new one I so want it I need to save!
Looks pretty cool.
I really want this now
I'm gonna get because i'm a sucker for Nintendo.
