I legit watched this video 5 times, and I finally ordered my blue 3DS XL a few minutes ago. I must say I am very excited!! The last one I owned was the original DS hahahaha. I hope this will be worth the buy!
Thanks! :D. Also, yes that was a reference to Ashens. My 3DS XL did come with a charger, however, I'd hate it if it wouldn't come with one. My old one from my 3DS actually broke down just before I got this one, so that was quite convenient!
You should have taped something over top of the serial number, because it's shown again when you open the box. Anyway, a late congratulations on 200 subscribers! Thanks for the upload, I'm planning on purchasing this soon.
If you mean the serial number of the 3DS at around 3:00 : It's always a good practice to hide numbers, since someone could report it as stolen and get me some problems.
If you mean the orange 3DS XL case: It seems to be a Power A official Nintendo case, but they seem to have sold out for good. No wonder I got mine free with purchase.
Well, if you are fan of Pokemon, don't forget that they are releasing two special edition ones on the 27th in the US! (and I'll be unboxing one of those too, in case you are interested :D)
It's certainly worth it! Try to get all the money together around Christmas since they have some sales around that time (I bought mine too at that time!)
WoOoAh. You haven't uploaded in like 3 years? I'd love to see you review the Nintendo switch! I find your unboxing videos and reviews better than any others because of your humour. I hope to see you return! :)
I am SO super late on this reply, apologies! I absolutely love the Nintendo Switch... but currently mine is in repair due to some glitches it developed during a stream recently. Actually... I should get it back in a couple weeks time, maybe I'll do an unboxing then! :)
Thanks! :D Well... we're trying to make more of this specific sort, but I haven't gotten the right concentration yet. Feel free to subscribe and check out the attempts though ^^
are there accounts for the 3ds xl? Is internet a neccesity for basic functions? can you delete previous accounts? does it easily break? what do accounts do, if they exist? do games come with it? I'm getting one soon. ☺
Awesome vid dude! :) "Sad Onions" Reminds me of Ashens haha. What's your feelings on the 3DS XL not having a charger included. I'm speaking from a DS lite owner point of view and not having owned a DSi or 3DS before I don't have a charger to charge it with. :(
So I'm finally getting a 3ds, and I'm trying to decide between normal and xl. I like portability, but I also like having a bigger screen. I think my major issue with the XL is that in all of these videos I see of it, the matte finish just looks like cheap plastic. Is that just something weird that happens when you aren't actually seeing it in real life, or is it really that lame? Someone please tell me, build quality is a big factor to me!
I got to say that the build quality on both models is really good. The matte finish is more of that soft-touch type, and there's also some limited editions that are glossy (Like the Pokemon X/Y one). Here's what I would recommend: Go to your local used-game store and ask them if you could take a look at a used XL and they should be able to help you out. :)
I love your review, very reminecsent of ashens, others would complain but i find it funny, ive been wanting ashens to make an 3ds xl review and this sort of fills the void. you've gained a sub!
***** Thank you for the kind words! Ashens inspired me to do those videos, so there's no big surprise to a few videos being a similar style. Still, I appreciate that you subscribed, and I hope that you'll enjoy the new videos! :D
Hey NageekNoohac. I've had both and I can honestly say the xl is much better. I personally like having a bigger screen, and the build quality just seems overall better on the xl. Overall it just feels much more solid. As far as the matte finish goes, I like it better just because you see fewer fingerprints and dust. As far as the look of the matte finish, I can't really say. I would recommend checking one out at GameStop if possible. Overall I think you will be happier with the xl.
It was probably due to the fact that I recorded this on the 23rd and had to go somewhere, so I just skipped a few things... oh well! Thanks! Also yeah, just make sure to wait until a good sale pops up, or as I did it: Wait for 2 sales (one with lower price, the other with free case with purchase) and combine them with some logic! :D
I'm going to buy one just like you because my 3ds is lilke to small 4 my big hands And how much time does it take to transfer all data from one 3ds to 3ds xl?
"It's a new charger, I mean I didn't need another one of these..." Meanwhile in the rest of the world: "WHERE THE FUCK IS THE CHARGER" Solid review, decided to get one so I can finally catch up on all the pokemon games after playing through emerald a few days ago :P P.S: The Ashen's inspiration is really appearent, but that's not a bad thing, you're still really unique with how you're presenting it. At least it's not one of those boring "information robot" reviews :D
Thank you, thank you! I will try to make more videos like this in the future, so thank you for subscribing! There's a good chunk of games to play: Super Smash, Pokemon X/Y (or remakes), Super Mario 3D Land, Kirby Triple Deluxe, Animal crossing... Make sure to look around for black friday deals while you're at it! :D
I thought there isn't a charger included? I live in Europe, and I want to buy a 3DS XL on Tuesday, and I've heard that I have to buy a charger extra. So I don't know what to do. I have a DS Lite and the charger, and my question is : Can I use the charger from my DS Lite for the 3DS XL ? ( sorry for my bad English, English is not my native language. :D)
The charger is included with the first generation 3DS XL models, but only in the US model. For the "new" 3DS XL you need to get a new charger no matter what version you buy. Also to answer your question, your charger from the DS Lite will not work. Only DSi and newer have the same charger as the 3DS models. And don't worry, your English is perfectly fine, Tami! :)
Honestly, it depends. If you want to play a game right now or it can wait until you get the new 3DS. Also keep in mind that if you don't need the features, you should be able to pick up a 3DS for slightly cheaper used!
There are a bunch of good games for the 3DS. Pokemon X/Y, Mario Kart 7, Zelda - Link between Worlds to name a few! There are some demos on the eShop available too.
+Miles hammy yes very much you have two new buttons up bye the L + R i believe hey are Z+ Y and then you have a new slider pad but a lot smaller and the cartridge is now placed in my the bottom end of the nintendo :)
Very nice! I didn't have that much time to play through all my games, but I enjoyed Super Mario 3D Land and Mario Kart. I can't wait for the new Kirby to come out though! :D
Hey, I want a 3DS for my birthday. It will be July 27th. Would portability be a problem if I asked for a XL? I'm a kid that's traveling often with my family, going to a school thats allowed to have electronics, and it may be me(sorry) but I like gloss rather than the matte look.
Well, the XL does eat up a bit of portability for the sake of a bigger screen and larger battery. It just depends on which one you prefer. Also some of the special edition models (such as the Pokemon X/Y ones) have a glossy back.
I swear that the 3ds is only a little expensive because of all the manuals that it comes with
this video is hilarious! seriously dude this made my day
Alex, it makes me happy that you enjoyed it that much! :D

I legit watched this video 5 times, and I finally ordered my blue 3DS XL a few minutes ago. I must say I am very excited!! The last one I owned was the original DS hahahaha. I hope this will be worth the buy!
Hahaha, I know that feeling too well! I hope you'll enjoy it! What games did you get with it?
Lego Batman 2 :p it was a starter bundle from walmart so I got to choose a game to go along with it
I've seen that deal. Not bad!
Team Betacake add me!! 5258-0889-7136
Haha same last one I owned was a original gen 1 ds, now I'm going to buy a xl on Black Friday lol ( must play póke and smash bros )
Thanks! :D. Also, yes that was a reference to Ashens. My 3DS XL did come with a charger, however, I'd hate it if it wouldn't come with one. My old one from my 3DS actually broke down just before I got this one, so that was quite convenient!
5:25 I did not know your camera was that sensitive. It just fell. 0.0
Thank you! You're awesome for both doing that and having a pretty sweet profile picture! :D
My best friend's gonna get me the 3ds xl pink and white on august 10. I'm really happy and excited
You should have taped something over top of the serial number, because it's shown again when you open the box. Anyway, a late congratulations on 200 subscribers! Thanks for the upload, I'm planning on purchasing this soon.
This is what every kid wanted or Christmas in 2012 oh nostalgia
Glad to hear that you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching! :D
If you mean the serial number of the 3DS at around 3:00 : It's always a good practice to hide numbers, since someone could report it as stolen and get me some problems.
Upgrading from a Gameboy SP to the New 3DS XL, pretty pumped
I am going from GBA to DS lite to 3ds xl old version.
Well, chairs are somewhat necessary, and the prices should jump even lower around end of November.
If you mean the orange 3DS XL case: It seems to be a Power A official Nintendo case, but they seem to have sold out for good. No wonder I got mine free with purchase.
Well, if you are fan of Pokemon, don't forget that they are releasing two special edition ones on the 27th in the US! (and I'll be unboxing one of those too, in case you are interested :D)
I'd suggest that you wait, since I've heard that a fully black version is coming out soon!
Yo, I'm figging this one. It hit every point and it showed what the 3DS XL setup is gonna be like.
The Ashens references where epic, good job.
Aged like Fine Wine
Only 9 day till Christmas eve thank you again TeamBetaCake
Just a few hours and it'll be 8! You're welcome!
Thanks! We really appreciate it! :D
It's certainly worth it! Try to get all the money together around Christmas since they have some sales around that time (I bought mine too at that time!)
Probably not. However, you probably can sell your 3DS, take the money from there, add a bit more and get an XL.
Some do, some don't. Even if you would need to buy it, they are quite cheap these days when you go for one with less than 4 GB.
WoOoAh. You haven't uploaded in like 3 years? I'd love to see you review the Nintendo switch! I find your unboxing videos and reviews better than any others because of your humour. I hope to see you return! :)

Actually... I should get it back in a couple weeks time, maybe I'll do an unboxing then! :)
I hope Nintendo makes an HDS. The HD portable gaming device.
Donovan Tull your a smartass
You never know maybe they're in the process of making an HDS right now
My Favorite Final Nintendo Console.
I don't have the stylus for my DSi XL, so I don't know. However, you can use the huge pen stylus for any 3DS.
Great Vid buddy! :D i hope to see you make comedy-type unboxings xD
Thanks! :D
Well... we're trying to make more of this specific sort, but I haven't gotten the right concentration yet. Feel free to subscribe and check out the attempts though ^^
Finally getting one as an upgrade to my DS Lite (not getting the new one because of its price)
I can't wait till Christmas eve we always open 2 presents and now I know to look for a rectangular box thank you
Hopefully you'll get what you want, you're welcome! :D
Nice job on the subs man, must of had a lot of work into it
This console is Awesomeeee thanks mate gonna get it soon
That's something everyone can agree on! ^^. Enjoy your 3DS XL! :D
Very good unboxing and review
im not getting the newxl because i dont use amiibo? or 3d and I like the matt finish better.
Saki sɴᴇs it's actually a lot faster tho
are there accounts for the 3ds xl? Is internet a neccesity for basic functions? can you delete previous accounts? does it easily break? what do accounts do, if they exist? do games come with it? I'm getting one soon. ☺
Yes there are accounts and no you can play still even post server ahutdown
There is a lock to turn the 3D off just so you know.
+Griffin Harning No, I usually film in my room. :P
That's his way of saying "Thank You."
Buying one when my birthday money comes in!
Just subscribed :) I'm getting the pink 3ds xl on black Friday! WISH me luck!
Thanks for subscribing! I hope you'll get your loot! :D

Team Betacake That's a good idea, I think I'll go do that. Thanks for the info.
NageekNoohac No problem, always glad to help! :D

Your accent in the beginning sounds Asian/Australian/Swedish and it is AWESOME
Hey NageekNoohac. I've had both and I can honestly say the xl is much better. I personally like having a bigger screen, and the build quality just seems overall better on the xl.

If I may chime in with my opinion: The XL is definitely the better one. Keep in mind that some 3DS XLs (like the Pokemon ones) have a glossy back. :)
Keep up the good work!
Do you think your gonna go for the 2ds?
Thanks, glad you liked it! :)
On the 2DS... I hope that I'll make one, but only if I can snag one cheap at a sale :)
It was probably due to the fact that I recorded this on the 23rd and had to go somewhere, so I just skipped a few things... oh well! Thanks! Also yeah, just make sure to wait until a good sale pops up, or as I did it: Wait for 2 sales (one with lower price, the other with free case with purchase) and combine them with some logic! :D
I think I'll get a blue one! Fits with Pokemon X! Do you plan on getting one?
I got that one too! Which color did you get?
do you think i should get a 3DS xl, i've heard many good reviews, but i'm still not sure. please reply
Target has this for $150 with a free game included and considering I still have original Ds from 05 I think it's time for an upgrade
Almost 10 years! I say go for it, but keep the old one for dat nostalgia. ^^
You still have your original DS? T^T I lost mine... I miss it, even though my bottom screen was all scratched up. ^^''
@@noki5340… dude… I found it :O
you dropped it 3 times now it has a disability
I have the same exact one in 2017 still and I got it in 2014 or 15
They will update it eventually, might just take two or three years.
@Team Betacake are you getting the blue or red?
I have a Mario White Edition but mine is MDE version so the charger is different.
I have the same 3DS XL I also have a black one, and I have the "NEW" 3DS xl, so I have 3 3DS's
I'm going to buy one just like you because my 3ds is lilke to small 4 my big hands
And how much time does it take to transfer all data from one 3ds to 3ds xl?
Yeah, it really is great for bigger hands! Well, it depends on how much stuff you got on your 3DS. Mine took about 20-25 minutes.
"It's a new charger, I mean I didn't need another one of these..."
Meanwhile in the rest of the world: "WHERE THE FUCK IS THE CHARGER"
Solid review, decided to get one so I can finally catch up on all the pokemon games after playing through emerald a few days ago :P
P.S: The Ashen's inspiration is really appearent, but that's not a bad thing, you're still really unique with how you're presenting it.
At least it's not one of those boring "information robot" reviews :D
Quite frankly I would have chosen otherwise, but in the US we only have red, blue or pink, apart from the few special editions. :\
Team Betacake will this charger in the video will be good in europe
???
Team Betacake hey I really liked your video . I'm buyin this bad boy tomorrow and I have a question . Is this device heavy ?
We really appreciate that! :). It's not that heavy, but it feels nicely in the hand.
Team Betacake thanks mate .
Awesome man! I've been looking for something like this. Subscribed! Also, any idea of what games would be good?
Thank you, thank you! I will try to make more videos like this in the future, so thank you for subscribing!
There's a good chunk of games to play: Super Smash, Pokemon X/Y (or remakes), Super Mario 3D Land, Kirby Triple Deluxe, Animal crossing... Make sure to look around for black friday deals while you're at it! :D
I updated from the original ds to the 3ds xl
Teambetcake what colour should I get red or blue
I think ice white is the best colour personally but out of red and blue id pick red because everyone around here has the blue one LOL
Tmr imma go upgrade from 2DS to XL
YES! Make sure to get the new one though! :)
is it just me or did the recording lag at 10:47
For me too.
I have only 3 cases, so I'll put them into a future video :)
I thought there isn't a charger included? I live in Europe, and I want to buy a 3DS XL on Tuesday, and I've heard that I have to buy a charger extra. So I don't know what to do.

Also to answer your question, your charger from the DS Lite will not work. Only DSi and newer have the same charger as the 3DS models. And don't worry, your English is perfectly fine, Tami! :)
Get the new 3ds xl, it's much better. And you can buy a charger online for a cheap price.
Thanks for the quick answer ! :D
You can't use your ds lite charger
Ok but so what should i do i live in canada. Should i wait till the new 3ds comes here which idk when it will. Or just get the xl?
Honestly, it depends. If you want to play a game right now or it can wait until you get the new 3DS. Also keep in mind that if you don't need the features, you should be able to pick up a 3DS for slightly cheaper used!
I'm guessing it'll be a hardware refresh (i.e Original DS -> DS Lite)
If I'd be trying to impersonate Ashen, I'd do it on a brown sofa. :)
will my charger from the DS lite work for this? and if not how expencive is the charger seperate
Brandon Thompson Don't think so. Same charger for DSi and newer.
thx for letting me know, now just to verify which version i have. think it's a lite tho
4 days ago I bought and is there any recommendations for games
There are a bunch of good games for the 3DS. Pokemon X/Y, Mario Kart 7, Zelda - Link between Worlds to name a few! There are some demos on the eShop available too.
When he says it’s bigger I like it I laughed so much I almost cried
Even with an adapter it won't be good for Europe, since the input is rated for 110V.
How about 100 years and I didn’t have the console
i bought a 3ds xl here in korea yesterday but i dont't know it doesnt have language settings. what should i do? i don't understand korean
I'm not sure about Korean return policies, but you might want to return it. You're stuck with the languages pre-installed and the region lock :/
Can't you just transfer data by saving everything to your sd card, taking the new sd card out, and putting the old one in?
Not quite! There's some information that doesn't transfer right... I think
I think it's a great system! While the XL has a bigger screen and is more comfortable to hold, it doesn't fit in a lot of pockets... :)
you are showded the serial number it one in the side that you opended
Does the Nintendo 3DS Xl come with a capture card?
Unfortunately, it does not. The capture cards are non-Nintendo modifications, and also tend to be extremely expensive.
If I transfer from my DSi XL to my 3DS XL, will it format my DSi?
Yes
I want the "new" 3ds xl but is it more complex than the old one?
+Miles hammy yes very much you have two new buttons up bye the L + R i believe hey are Z+ Y and then you have a new slider pad but a lot smaller and the cartridge is now placed in my the bottom end of the nintendo :)
where did u get the 3DS XL at cause i want to know where u got it from
Well, since you are that curious... let's say it's a blue store with a yellow tag as a logo. Any clues? :3
That pronunciation of Portuguese killed me a little.
What colour should I get blue of red
lufthansa does the 3ds come with sd card , or you have to buy it??
It came with a 2g one
i'm gonna buy the 3ds today should i get the xl or normal one?
I'd say, if you have the cash, go for the XL. I would test drive them before buying though before making my final choice.
got the wii u instead l0l.
***** LOL, yeah, that's a good option too! Any games you got with yours?
yup, super mario 3D land, and nitendo land. pre ordered super smash for wii u yesterday too.
That's a real nice pack of games. Hope you'll enjoy it! :D
I'm buying the blue one as soon as I save up enough. I'm so excited!! :)
No huge pen stylus like dsi xl?
This was my first ds I got it in plain Black
so cool i just got one what do you think are good games and yes i am getting pokemon x but i dont want that much rpg games
Very nice! I didn't have that much time to play through all my games, but I enjoyed Super Mario 3D Land and Mario Kart. I can't wait for the new Kirby to come out though! :D
Team Betacake ya im looking forward to super smash bros with megaman and little mac
The fact that SSB will be portable makes this hypeworthy!
"Blah blah we dont care" *messes up rlly bad lol*
cant you just everything and just go directly on the Nintendo 3ds XL
i feel so nerdy i had to make a paper version of it to make sure it would fit in my pocket D:
Sounds like a pretty sweet plan! :D
Great unboxing thanks!
do you have to have a 2ds aswel
so what's the reason to hide that number?
please tell me
Hey, I want a 3DS for my birthday. It will be July 27th. Would portability be a problem if I asked for a XL? I'm a kid that's traveling often with my family, going to a school thats allowed to have electronics, and it may be me(sorry) but I like gloss rather than the matte look.
Well, the XL does eat up a bit of portability for the sake of a bigger screen and larger battery. It just depends on which one you prefer. Also some of the special edition models (such as the Pokemon X/Y ones) have a glossy back.
Team Betacake Thank you. You are a great UA-camr and should have more subscribers. You have earned a sub from me.
You're welcome! Also thank you very very much for such kind words and the subscription! :)
