ChaosMarx Ahhh now I get it - that's for replying :) . I think Europeans got a 'steelbook' case if you preordered. That's pretty cool; I've never seen a 3DS Steelbook case before. (I actually really like the Pokemon plush dolls - I've collected the original starts + pikachu and a few other favourites like Mew, etc. They seem to be good quality.)
***** Ahh fair enough. The steel books would be cool. You're right though, the regular coloured versions look good, and they fit in with all the other 3DS and Pokemon game cases I already own. Cheers!
You’re lucky. We didn’t get figures or colored boxes in the US I think now eshop games are often the same price though not always. Also I’m always jealous we don’t get Boxing Day off Kinda wish old 3ds had face plates
I got my 3ds at the start of this month and being that I'm disabled and on a limited income and wasn't told about it I have to wait a whole month to get the charger and be able to play it
The white one is way more beautiful than the black one IMO, even for someone like me who only has black consoles.Im getting this for my birthday and im buying the white one.
Really enjoyed this, thank you. Brilliant narration and I'm pretty sure you enjoyed the game so far. Got one ORAS and a console each for me and the gf as well last weekend. Christmas is sorted!
***** I'd love to get those, but I don't think they're going to be available here in Australia, which sucks! I am getting all four of the special edition 2DS consoles though. So that's something! :)
I am thinking of getting the Animal Crossing bundle. I have the Majora's Mask edition XL and want to add the smaller new 3DS to my collection. I am just wondering how good the smaller screen is.
+Allen Ewasiuk Nice choice. The screen does look sharper and the face plates are almost enough reason alone to buy the smaller one. For me though, I do love the larger screen :)
Kasai the Fire Mage thats also true, but i have a little case for games that holds 24 games, i tend to download if i cant find the game anywhere, but it can sometimes be easier
+Kasai the Fire Mage I don't plan to really download anything except for DLCs on my 3DS. I don't trust downloaded games for whatever reason and will always get a physical copy. Plus the cartridge slot would be empty and it feels weird holding my ds with no card in there.
I didn't know the hard copy was cheaper! I've bought 2 games online and the only reason why I did that was either because I was on holiday or The game was sold out in stores! So I couldn't resist and had to get it on the eShop!
Softcopy has it's benefits, at least you can carry a huge game collection around with you without needed to carry anything physical. It just sucks that you can't re-sell the softcopy games like you can with cartridges. I think eShop games should be at least 10-20% lower than physical games.
Thats why I so want the New 3DS one for the colored buttons, the face plates and the nice restored 3D and the hing lol Im OCD about that to and I just have a used 3DS XL, I traded in my 3DS and regret it! I like you you got the Pokemon games and the box's are the same color as the art:) Thats cool!
+GamerGirlMaster Thanks for the comment :). I loved the standard New 3DS too, but for me, the larger New 3DS XL is better - it's easier for my hands to hold, and I find the larger screens easier on my eyes. But I wish the XL had swappable cover plates. That would have made it perfect! I hope you get one soon :) The loose hinge is really frustrating - I am very lucky that my New 3DS XL (Majora's Mask Special Edition) has a perfect, tight hinge with no wobble - phew!! haha, OCD is the worst when it comes to Nintendo consoles too, because they vary so much!
When i got my new 3ds xl they didn't say it didn't come with a charger so I had to wait a few days until I was able to use it until I could go back and get one
I just realized that the console is super expensive when you realize that you don't get the charger. That'd be a few good bucks. I'd say 3-13 or something like that, but it was necessary for them to do it such that people felt they cared.
I picked mine up on the 13th of February for 169€ and I am glad I preordered it because it sold out everywhere around me.. All you had to comment on about it is pretty accurate to my impressions. I also went to this from a 3DS XL and the hinge on this one is amazing! Watched this video because of the wooden panel, I think I will get one now. They retail for around 15gbp on amazon
Thanks for your comment! :) Lucky you bought one at the normal price! I wonder if the New 3DS is more popular in Europe or there was less supply this time? Did you buy a black or white N3DS? In any case, the wooden panel is nice, but my favourite at the moment is the glow in the dark Boos panel that I bought form Japan. If you're interested I reviewed it here: ua-cam.com/video/XXQ4jOlXacc/v-deo.html
I got the black one, I thought it would get more contrast with other coverplates later. The new 3DS went quite quickly apparently in my previous home town (sweden) and here in the netherlands. The face plate with the boos looks really awesome, so I might just try to order one! Thanks for the tip!
DiamondWolfpc Yeah I would normally prefer figures too, though sometimes when I get really cool posters I laminate them and put them on my office wall :)
It's a different retail climate in Australia than it is in, say, the United States. In the US, 3DS titles are typically $40 USD both in store and on the eShop, whereas the price varies much more wildly in Australia. Personally, I download all of my games because I tend to both travel and move house a lot. It's not feasible to lug around a bunch of physical games, and have to pack them all up and move them and then unpack them. Much easier for me to have them all downloaded on a massive micro SD card.
Yeah that makes sense :) I can see why digital would make a lot of people's life easier. I would prefer Nintendo to offer the digital version at least 10-20% cheaper than the physical versions.
A discount would certainly be much appreciated, yeah, sort of like how if you preorder a game on Steam you usually get 10% off the price. To Nintendo's credit, they sometimes offer digital download incentives in the US- I've received two separate exclusive 3DS themes for buying digitally; one for Ultimate NES Remix and one for Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate.
Great that you prefer physical games to digital ones! If you ever want to try the Inazuma Eleven series, you COULD download the 3DS version of the first game from the Aussie eShop OR you could import a physical copy of the DS version from Europe!
Thanks for your comment :) I've imported a few games from Europe that are way cheaper than Australia (or just aren't available here). My Pikachu 3DS XL also came from Amazon UK. So in some respects its cool that we share a region. ...Although I would prefer to region-locking at all :)
S3ISOR Lol I live in Ireland,Europe and our gamestop sells cheap N3DS Games and some that are old,They are cheap since they have too much! There is a pile of like 200 under the Pre-owned Nintnedow Games shelves.I even get 3 Eurogames.Even though we get Yoshis Wooly world this summer, when America have it September,its like 50 Euro without ammibo.
I get digital versions of games when they're brand new and I really, REALLY want them. For instance: Smash 3DS is the first of three games I have downloaded onto my 3DSXL because I knew that I would always want to have it around with me.
Nice video! Best Nintendo UA-camr! Other UA-camrs talk very fast but you talk slower so I can understand you... (If that makes sense...) You have a new subscriber!
do you notice a difference in image sharpness btwn the standard 3ds and the XL? Some people love the bigger screen but personally i get bugged by even slightly stretched images
I think the standard 3ds looks sharper than the XL screen, but to be honest, I prefer the XL screen. Even though it is fairly pixelated, it is a more immersive gaming experience.
i'm thinking about getting one from Australia or europe, because Nintendo got out of Brazil due to the giant taxes that the governamet imposes over the games, so the New 3DS is not coming to me. do you know any good sites to import one of those? nice video man!
Do you have a new Nintendo 3ds xl so you can do a comparison on them both on their texture, how they feel, battery life and how they are like when you play games like super smash bros with both your pinkies at the bottom of the 3ds.(Left pinkie right under the game card slot, and right pinkie under the power button or near it. so thank you for that video and please make this video for me.
Where was the shop that you got the New 3DS for the discount (200 bucks) ? Or was the discount applied to every EB shop? Thanks! Sure to pick up mine in the near future
at 8:22 I remember thinking the exact same thing when I opened my N3DS for the same time, and I loved it. I absolutely hated the screen moving and the hinge making that annoying noise like cracking whenever I open my 3DSXL. But now its been two months later and my N3DS its making the same noise as my Xl AND the screen is moving too. Is this normal? I hate it, I feel like it´s going to get broken.
+Ross Allen I know it's annoying, but it's probably normal. Some hinges might be slightly more firm out of the factory, and over time they loosen up to 'normal' and make that clicking sounds?? It's frustrating though, such a small thing takes away from the gaming experience. I hope it doens't bother you too much. :)
You're meaning when people download the games right? I agree, mostly cause if the system breaks or your SD card gets lost or breaks you have to pay again just to get your downloaded games back.
+SakuraandSesshomaru Yeah that's what I mean. I always prefer physical games on a cartridge, because just like you said, if I lost my console or it breaks it's a pain to get your games back. Also, you can't re-sell digital games. If Nintendo introduces a better account system it might fix a few issues.
+S3ISOR That's incorrect. All game downloads are tied to your Nintendo Account, so you guys actually have it backwards; if your physical copy breaks/gets lost you're SOL, but you can always re-download digital copies.
I agree, the 2DS is a nice console and would be great for a lot of people. I really like the large screen and 3D effect of the New 3DS XL screen though, so I'm happy :)
I LOVE BUYING GAMES FROM ESHOP, In USA there the same price from the card,and plus u have all ur games in one place no need to bring like a bag full of games there all in your system.
i got my new 3ds regular size a month ago from the HHD bundle on kijiji for 200, you can also get the pokemon edition on amazon. if anything, go to play-asia to find one. hope that helps
Thanks for the videos about a year ago you gave me advice on importing 3ds xls which made me come back for advice on the new 3ds. Was just wondering if you feel the larger screen sizes on the standard new 3ds is large enough in comparison to the xl. I already own an xl and like the large screen but am considering getting the standard this time around due to the larger screens. Also I picked up the omega ruby transparent 2ds and was wondering what your thoughts are on that console I noticed you dont own any 2ds'. I couldn't resist the transparency it reminded me of my transparent gameboy back in the day. I'm pleasantly surprised as I find it's more comfortable to hold than the XL. Cheers for the videos easily the best reviews around for 3ds consoles.
Hi Shannon, thanks for the kind words! :) As to your question, I find the standard-sized new 3DS screens OK, but still not as immersive or as impressive as the 3DS XL. As soon as a Zelda or Pokemon special edition New 3DS XL comes out I'm going to switch over. However, I like the smaller size of the standard New 3DS (with it's larger screens). Nice pick up with the transparent 2DS. I bought one of these too, and am doing a short video (not a review) on it soon. It looks surprisingly awesome in real life. I actually bought a 2DS when they first launch to give it a go, but sold it shortly afterwards because I never used it. Anyway, let me know which version of the New 3DS you buy. Merry Xmas! :)
S3ISOR I was mostly considering the standard new 3ds because it would have more pixel density making the screens look sharper in comparison to the XL yet most reviewers are still preferring the XL's screens. So I'm really on the fence about which one haha
Shannon Kennerson Yeah it's a close one. The standard New 3DS definitely is sharper than the XL, but I the HUUUGE pixels on the XL add to the appeal for me (for some weird reason). Reminds me a bit of my first Gameboy and Gameboy Color. Let me know which one you end up getting! :)
When I play gameboy games on the XL I actually prefer it on the big screens even though it's so stretched out i find it easier to see whats going on. It's as if my eyes can't strain/focus enough on the original small screen sizes of the gameboy so I guess bigger is better haha. I'm tempted to get the new 3ds because of the wood grain panel but also wait til there is a special edition XL and get that too. Thanks for the replies I'll let you know what I settle with.
HNRichard They are both good. If you have the money, the New 3DS is a better console, especially with the super stable 3D and the overall bigger screen. Good luck with your decision! :)
You just explained the reason why buy cartridges instead of digital! I always tell ppl yes it's convenient to have them digital but I also like collecting the boxes. Also i can share with my mom rather then her stealing my 3ds. Anyway, just random stopping by. (Wow! 219 is high! I'm waiting for the eu release. )
WOW you can't transfer back to your old 3ds system?! That is such a bummer, i have a pokemon themed XL that i love and i was hoping to be able to transfer back n forth freely thanks to the removed limit restriction. Thats really lame, well i guess Ill have to get a new 3ds xl, thanks for mentioning that.
Yeah that's what I thought too. I was hoping to get a standard New 3DS and transfer back and forth with my standard Pikachu XL over the next year or so. Oh well, it kind of forces you to get a New 3DS XL at some point, especially if you like the screen size. Thanks for the comment :)
S3ISOR No problem, i enjoyed the video a lot! I will definitely pick up a New 3DS XL as soon as they release an awesome Pokemon themed one. The XL screen size is perfect. But for now i'll get the standard white as it looks like it matches better with the faceplates than the black (in my opinion)
Cool cases for the games (US just gets white) and I love the colored buttons. Again US kay gets XL. Can't complain too much because I am getting the XL anyway just because of the screen. That's right, still not out here in the US...
Canada got screwed! We had no bonuses for Pokemon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire except for one retailer that was selling them as a bundle in a cardboard box, even X and Y only came with a poster if you preordered both. We have not received the new 3DS yet, only the new XL today, which is gorgeous, but the thing cost 30$ more than the US pricing which was previously the same! Canada is getting screwed by Nintendo!
That sucks. The US always seems to get the best prices on everything, regardless of how good/bad their dollar is doing. In Australia our prices are generally more expensive than the US, UK and Canada, so I'm pretty used to it by now :S Did you pick up a new 3DS XL?
Dragondude2525 Nice! So did I. I unboxed it yesterday and am very happy with it. I'm playing MM for the first time and it's quite a bit different to OoT haha. :)
S3ISOR oh, i haven't bought the game yet, and I haven't played the original on the N64 in a while! did you unbox the majora's mask 3DS system in a video?
Dragondude2525 Yeah I did, I'll be processing it today and tomorrow and should have it uploaded soon :) (I didn't play the original either so it's all new for me too).
Hi Braedon, you could import the Australian 3DS to Canada, however, our 3DS is region-locked to Australia/New Zealand and Europe, which means it can only play games from that region. So any games you have bought in Canada/NA won't work in the console. It's REALLY annoying that Nintendo still use region-locking, but there is no way around it at the moment (unless you imported Australia/European games to go with the console). Hopefully the New 3DS is released in Canada soon :)
Okay thanks so if i did get one from Australia english ofcourse. And bought my games there to. Can is till play onlone with my friends that have a 3ds?
Braedon H To be honest I'm not really sure. I'm sure you could, but it might be worth Google'ing to get an exact answer. I'd be pretty annoying to get an Australian console and then not be able to play with your Canadian mates. With that said, Pokemon Global Link works fine worldwide on any console.. so I'm not too sure. Maybe you could let us know if you find out :)
hi! how big are the screens on the new 3ds? im from brazil and I've only seen xl's... are they bigger than the original 3ds and 2ds? like the dsi's screen or something... thanks!
+Rafael Alvarenga The New 3DS screens are bigger than the original 3DS and the 2DS. The top screen is 3.88 inches vs 3.5 on the original, and the bottom screen is 3.33 inches vs 3 on the original (from memory). Hope that helps!
Yes you can :-). You can play any DS game on the console. I think some new DS games had region locking though, so they'd have to match the region of your console. EG. USA DSi games will work on a USA 3Da Console, but not an Australian one. Hope that helps :)
I'm not too sure if you'll be able to answer this, but I was wondering if having digitally downloaded games is different than the actual cartridge when you're doing the system transfers? All of my games are played with the physical cartridge (and when games saves, it gets saved onto the SD card as well right?) so if I do plan on getting the new 3ds, would the system transfer transfer the contents of my old SD card into the new micro SD---or is that something totally different?
To be honest, I'm not 100% sure how the mechanics of a system transfer works... however, I've transferred 3DS systems about 10 times now, and each time all my digital and physical cartridge games and save files all transfer properly, including virtual shop games, etc. I've never had a problem with a transfer and corrupted data or saves or anything like that. I'll be doing another transfer tomorrow actually haha! I hope that clarifies it for you? Cheers, :)
S3ISOR a bit late but thanks for answering my question! I was mainly concerned just because I was thinking of getting the new 3ds (small one) when it would be released in the US..butttt since they're only releasing the XL here, I guess I'll just have to stick with my 2ds for now heh :c Don't got the money for an XL!
Yeah all European games will work on Australian 3DS's. This Australian Nintendo-fan website has a roundup of good prices which might be still relevant when you come out: www.vooks.net/aussie-bargain-roundup-find-the-new-nintendo-3ds-and-new-3ds-xl-cheap/ Enjoy your trip!
I got a great deal on mine on launch day, Big w had a console bundle of the new 3ds XL with charger and paper Mario for $248 and below that it said also available normal new 3ds, for $198 so I assumed that it came with bundle aswell but when my mum went to pick it up, it isn't so we spoke to the manager and they understood and le us have the bundle for $198 with the normal console, but then they ran out of paper Mario so I had to get another game so I picked up alpha sapphire, so I thought the was a pretty good deal. but I didn't know eb had the e shop cards on special that day, was it only in certain places, cause I'm from brassy.
Yeah I think its a great improvement over the orginal and the super stable 3d is great! I reckon that some shops will have then down in the boxing day sales, just got to get there early hey!
"I got pokemon omega rape---- ruby"
"I got Alpha Sex"
JamyDogger HAHAHAHAHHA GOOD ONE
TheFishCat its not even funny..
>says he is paranoid about scratches
> *Uses a knife to open AS*
😂😂😂😂 HAHAHA!!!
Bich
Exactly lol scratched the case up within 3 seconds.
when he said Pokemon omega rape I cried 😂😂😂😂
Pacey Tully 😩
I'm jealous now! Australians get game cases with those colors for Pokémon Alpha & Omega; not fair...
I'm a bit confused by what you mean. Was there any preorder bonuses for pokemon where you are from? :)
S3ISOR We got plush dolls; I was just jealous of the red & blue cases for the games. Our cases are just white, which is boring...
ChaosMarx Ahhh now I get it - that's for replying :) . I think Europeans got a 'steelbook' case if you preordered. That's pretty cool; I've never seen a 3DS Steelbook case before. (I actually really like the Pokemon plush dolls - I've collected the original starts + pikachu and a few other favourites like Mew, etc. They seem to be good quality.)
Europe got steelbooks.... Le rages!!!!!
***** Ahh fair enough. The steel books would be cool. You're right though, the regular coloured versions look good, and they fit in with all the other 3DS and Pokemon game cases I already own. Cheers!
You’re lucky. We didn’t get figures or colored boxes in the US
I think now eshop games are often the same price though not always.
Also I’m always jealous we don’t get Boxing Day off
Kinda wish old 3ds had face plates
I love how he trys to say kyogres name
I like physical not electronical gotten games
Same it depends for me though if I can't find it anywhere physically I will buy it digitally
The Most Original Meme take a fuckin joke smartass
._.
Finally an Australian youtuber, congratulations you have earned a new subscriber!
0:38 I don’t think I heard that right.... OMG he said Omega rape 🤣😂
I got my 3ds at the start of this month and being that I'm disabled and on a limited income and wasn't told about it I have to wait a whole month to get the charger and be able to play it
Same with the colored buttons XD
I love the look of this smaller one, but I want the bigger screen. Why couldn't they make them the same :/
I know right! They could've releases a N3DS and N3DS XL in black and white with interchangeable plates. That would've been great!
Thank you I just turned my 3ds on and it has a charge that I didn't think to check now I'm getting to play one day to play
im so excited for new 3ds to come to uk but i was so desperate i just ordered it and it will arrive tommorow xd.. Anyway awsome unboxing video.
Thanks for the comment, I hope you like your New 3DS!
Sucks America doesn't get both. I don't mind the XL but i do wish the faceplate were switchable though.
my favorite character is rosalina and boo, in that order.
I already have this Super Mushroom cover plate for my New Nintendo 3DS at home!
The white one is way more beautiful than the black one IMO, even for someone like me who only has black consoles.Im getting this for my birthday and im buying the white one.
The unevenness near the power button is common on new 3ds but not on the new xl.
Really enjoyed this, thank you. Brilliant narration and I'm pretty sure you enjoyed the game so far.
Got one ORAS and a console each for me and the gf as well last weekend. Christmas is sorted!
Cool unboxing buddy! Keep em coming!
+Brandon Salt Thanks :) I hope to soon!
***** I'd love to get those, but I don't think they're going to be available here in Australia, which sucks! I am getting all four of the special edition 2DS consoles though. So that's something! :)
+crackerisntme are they out yet?
Pokeking 2015 Nah not yet. They come out on February 28.
I am thinking of getting the Animal Crossing bundle. I have the Majora's Mask edition XL and want to add the smaller new 3DS to my collection. I am just wondering how good the smaller screen is.
+Allen Ewasiuk i got it, and yes it is significantly smaller , it looks a lot better, and detailed, Im happy with it
+Devasterium Ortiz I bought it two days ago. I love the compact size and the face plates! :D
+Allen Ewasiuk Nice choice. The screen does look sharper and the face plates are almost enough reason alone to buy the smaller one. For me though, I do love the larger screen :)
+S3ISOR yeah, the larger is super nice, I do have my monster hunter limited edition new 3ds, so I can always go back if I need to
+S3ISOR I love that I have both! :D
i agree i prefer a physical copy of a game (im 15)
Craig Penfold i agree, there is just more confort in knowing you have it there and you wont lose it through the download stuffing up
I agree but it's nice to have a huge library of games on your device than carting around 30 cartridges
Kasai the Fire Mage thats also true, but i have a little case for games that holds 24 games, i tend to download if i cant find the game anywhere, but it can sometimes be easier
+Kasai the Fire Mage I don't plan to really download anything except for DLCs on my 3DS. I don't trust downloaded games for whatever reason and will always get a physical copy. Plus the cartridge slot would be empty and it feels weird holding my ds with no card in there.
+Kasai the Fire Mage Nice Kirito profile picture by the way.
I didn't know the hard copy was cheaper! I've bought 2 games online and the only reason why I did that was either because I was on holiday or The game was sold out in stores! So I couldn't resist and had to get it on the eShop!
Softcopy has it's benefits, at least you can carry a huge game collection around with you without needed to carry anything physical. It just sucks that you can't re-sell the softcopy games like you can with cartridges. I think eShop games should be at least 10-20% lower than physical games.
I was surprised at the new 3DS box as I have only had an original 3DS and a DSi
Thats why I so want the New 3DS one for the colored buttons, the face plates and the nice restored 3D and the hing lol Im OCD about that to and I just have a used 3DS XL, I traded in my 3DS and regret it! I like you you got the Pokemon games and the box's are the same color as the art:) Thats cool!

I also subscribed to your channel:) U sound cool! I like your videos to:) If you want check out my channel:)
***** Thanks! I'll check your channel out today :)
In America, we don't have stickers like that on gamestop game boxes. Os that on the shrink wrap of all game boxes/cases in Australia? Just curious :p
I already have the wooden Mario them so I would love that faceplate! First I gotta upgrade from 2ds to 3ds though
Hi
Got exactly the same haul here (less eshop card) in NZ at the midnight launch
Anyone else think about the screen protectors he bought might be a little smaller for that 3DS since it has a larger screen than the original 3ds
I've been itching for a New Nintendo 3DS!
When i got my new 3ds xl they didn't say it didn't come with a charger so I had to wait a few days until I was able to use it until I could go back and get one
I just realized that the console is super expensive when you realize that you don't get the charger. That'd be a few good bucks. I'd say 3-13 or something like that, but it was necessary for them to do it such that people felt they cared.
I picked mine up on the 13th of February for 169€ and I am glad I preordered it because it sold out everywhere around me..
All you had to comment on about it is pretty accurate to my impressions. I also went to this from a 3DS XL and the hinge on this one is amazing!
Watched this video because of the wooden panel, I think I will get one now. They retail for around 15gbp on amazon
Thanks for your comment! :) Lucky you bought one at the normal price! I wonder if the New 3DS is more popular in Europe or there was less supply this time? Did you buy a black or white N3DS?
In any case, the wooden panel is nice, but my favourite at the moment is the glow in the dark Boos panel that I bought form Japan. If you're interested I reviewed it here: ua-cam.com/video/XXQ4jOlXacc/v-deo.html
I got the black one, I thought it would get more contrast with other coverplates later. The new 3DS went quite quickly apparently in my previous home town (sweden) and here in the netherlands.
The face plate with the boos looks really awesome, so I might just try to order one! Thanks for the tip!
Robin James Eric Bond No worries. Enjoy your console :)
I haven't played any Pokemon games yet but I'm getting one this month to try
they have eb games in canada but its gamestop in the us
+Kevin Bleh I didn't know that! There you go, EB is not unique to Australia :)
yep, hey man can u help me mod my gbc ? XD
Kevin Bleh Sorry man, I'd be useless at that. How do you want to MOD it?
i just want a paint job lol
btw i live in canada
Oh here little Johnny.😂😂 Great video though you got straight to the point with putting in some valued information. You have a new subscriber!!
Nya H Thank you for your nice comment! :) I'm glad you enjoying the video.
it is very annoying when your in a battle on Pokemon and the top screen flaps down so that's good
I use all my systems even the different DS that I own
In the U.S. You go a poster for preordering ORAS, not figures. I would've preferred figures over a poster.
DiamondWolfpc Yeah I would normally prefer figures too, though sometimes when I get really cool posters I laminate them and put them on my office wall :)
It's a different retail climate in Australia than it is in, say, the United States. In the US, 3DS titles are typically $40 USD both in store and on the eShop, whereas the price varies much more wildly in Australia.
Personally, I download all of my games because I tend to both travel and move house a lot. It's not feasible to lug around a bunch of physical games, and have to pack them all up and move them and then unpack them. Much easier for me to have them all downloaded on a massive micro SD card.
Yeah that makes sense :) I can see why digital would make a lot of people's life easier. I would prefer Nintendo to offer the digital version at least 10-20% cheaper than the physical versions.
A discount would certainly be much appreciated, yeah, sort of like how if you preorder a game on Steam you usually get 10% off the price.
To Nintendo's credit, they sometimes offer digital download incentives in the US- I've received two separate exclusive 3DS themes for buying digitally; one for Ultimate NES Remix and one for Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate.
Sully Talks That's true. And they offered some Wii U eShop games for half price (Metroid, Super Mario Galaxy). So it's not all bad :)
We aren't getting the chargers in Canada either
The retail games in America are 39 $ no tax
Great that you prefer physical games to digital ones!
If you ever want to try the Inazuma Eleven series, you COULD download the 3DS version of the first game from the Aussie eShop OR you could import a physical copy of the DS version from Europe!
Thanks for your comment :) I've imported a few games from Europe that are way cheaper than Australia (or just aren't available here). My Pikachu 3DS XL also came from Amazon UK. So in some respects its cool that we share a region. ...Although I would prefer to region-locking at all :)
S3ISOR Lol I live in Ireland,Europe and our gamestop sells cheap N3DS Games and some that are old,They are cheap since they have too much! There is a pile of like 200 under the Pre-owned Nintnedow Games shelves.I even get 3 Eurogames.Even though we get Yoshis Wooly world this summer, when America have it September,its like 50 Euro without ammibo.
the material on the system looks like the same material as the nfc reader/writer
Really good review! Keep it up
Is the screen a little bit bigger compared to the old 3ds? Or is it still in the same size to the old 3ds? :)
I get digital versions of games when they're brand new and I really, REALLY want them.
For instance: Smash 3DS is the first of three games I have downloaded onto my 3DSXL because I knew that I would always want to have it around with me.
That makes sense. At least we have choice now. I just hope Nintendo moves to a universal account ID soon.
Nice video! Best Nintendo UA-camr! Other UA-camrs talk very fast but you talk slower so I can understand you... (If that makes sense...)
You have a new subscriber!
+Ellen.J Thanks for your nice comment :) I'm glad you liked the video!
Yeah us in AMARICA don't get the chargers
Lol ikr
What do you mean us in the rest of the world don't get chargers either. NINTENDO
I preordered both games too but the store didn't give me the figures... They gave them out to other people though ono
+Chibi Akuma That sucks, isn't half the point of pre-ordered that you secure your bonus before others? I wonder if they ran out of the figures.
S3ISOR They did
what should i get new 3ds or new 3ds XL
These days I just recommend to get the 3DS XL.
New 3ds cause there are going to be some exclusive new games for new 3ds
New 3ds hands down
+Logic 301 you guys are dumb it won't be just exclusive for the same device aka new 3ds and new 3ds xl maybe for regular 3ds but there the same thing
+S3ISOR is that the new one or the old one
how tf did you get the colored cases for ORAS? I want them so bad! lol Cant find them anywhere.
do you notice a difference in image sharpness btwn the standard 3ds and the XL? Some people love the bigger screen but personally i get bugged by even slightly stretched images
I think the standard 3ds looks sharper than the XL screen, but to be honest, I prefer the XL screen. Even though it is fairly pixelated, it is a more immersive gaming experience.
i preordered it but no figure and they said they give to me
That box art is amazing
i'm thinking about getting one from Australia or europe, because Nintendo got out of Brazil due to the giant taxes that the governamet imposes over the games, so the New 3DS is not coming to me. do you know any good sites to import one of those? nice video man!
Do you have a new Nintendo 3ds xl so you can do a comparison on them both on their texture, how they feel, battery life and how they are like when you play games like super smash bros with both your pinkies at the bottom of the 3ds.(Left pinkie right under the game card slot, and right pinkie under the power button or near it. so thank you for that video and please make this video for me.
Where was the shop that you got the New 3DS for the discount (200 bucks) ? Or was the discount applied to every EB shop? Thanks! Sure to pick up mine in the near future
It was EB Games Australia. They price matched Target Australia who have them advertised for $199. Did you end up picking yours up yet?
at 8:22 I remember thinking the exact same thing when I opened my N3DS for the same time, and I loved it. I absolutely hated the screen moving and the hinge making that annoying noise like cracking whenever I open my 3DSXL.
But now its been two months later and my N3DS its making the same noise as my Xl AND the screen is moving too.
Is this normal?
I hate it, I feel like it´s going to get broken.
+Ross Allen I know it's annoying, but it's probably normal. Some hinges might be slightly more firm out of the factory, and over time they loosen up to 'normal' and make that clicking sounds?? It's frustrating though, such a small thing takes away from the gaming experience. I hope it doens't bother you too much. :)
America Y U No get the replaceable cover plates?
You're meaning when people download the games right? I agree, mostly cause if the system breaks or your SD card gets lost or breaks you have to pay again just to get your downloaded games back.
+SakuraandSesshomaru Yeah that's what I mean. I always prefer physical games on a cartridge, because just like you said, if I lost my console or it breaks it's a pain to get your games back. Also, you can't re-sell digital games. If Nintendo introduces a better account system it might fix a few issues.
S3ISOR Oh, how much did all this cost? I've been wanting to buy the same set though Mine is the US versions.
SakuraandSesshomaru I don't remember now :) But it was probably $250 Australian Dollars.
+S3ISOR That's incorrect. All game downloads are tied to your Nintendo Account, so you guys actually have it backwards; if your physical copy breaks/gets lost you're SOL, but you can always re-download digital copies.
Dark_Aurora No you can't. I have lots of games I could NEVER redownload after I had to restore the system.
people get the eshop games to not risk having it sold out
If I get a 3ds, and have the money of 2/3 extra games, what would you recommend I get?
I think 2DS betting than Nintendo 3DS xl cause it's comfortable in your hand come in nice different colors fit in your pocket
I agree, the 2DS is a nice console and would be great for a lot of people. I really like the large screen and 3D effect of the New 3DS XL screen though, so I'm happy :)
I LOVE BUYING GAMES FROM ESHOP, In USA there the same price from the card,and plus u have all ur games in one place no need to bring like a bag full of games there all in your system.
Best unboxing video in my opinion!
I sure hope it's real wood for the price difference
where do you work and how much they pay you for?
I don't know why they only released the new 3ds xl in USA. They released the regular one but it's a limited edition, Pokemon blue or red version.
Both of them are either 300 or 258 respectively.
I know, I'm not buying a 3ds, because I don't like the xl, and we can't buy the normal sized ones....
you can get it on ebay amazon or even kijiji.
keep your eyes open for good deals.
+Cera Ve Yeah, but they're region locked
i got my new 3ds regular size a month ago from the HHD bundle on kijiji for 200, you can also get the pokemon edition on amazon. if anything, go to play-asia to find one. hope that helps
Haha I just read the comment below about you owning the transparent blue 2ds it's a great system and I think it's quite underrated
I agree! It looks awesome and feels pretty nice in the hand. Merry Xmas!
Merry xmas! Thanks for the great videos!
I didn't get my toe order bonus from ebgames. Also I it a free face plate with my new 3ds
Thanks for the videos about a year ago you gave me advice on importing 3ds xls which made me come back for advice on the new 3ds. Was just wondering if you feel the larger screen sizes on the standard new 3ds is large enough in comparison to the xl. I already own an xl and like the large screen but am considering getting the standard this time around due to the larger screens.
Also I picked up the omega ruby transparent 2ds and was wondering what your thoughts are on that console I noticed you dont own any 2ds'. I couldn't resist the transparency it reminded me of my transparent gameboy back in the day.
I'm pleasantly surprised as I find it's more comfortable to hold than the XL. Cheers for the videos easily the best reviews around for 3ds consoles.
Hi Shannon, thanks for the kind words! :) As to your question, I find the standard-sized new 3DS screens OK, but still not as immersive or as impressive as the 3DS XL. As soon as a Zelda or Pokemon special edition New 3DS XL comes out I'm going to switch over. However, I like the smaller size of the standard New 3DS (with it's larger screens). Nice pick up with the transparent 2DS. I bought one of these too, and am doing a short video (not a review) on it soon. It looks surprisingly awesome in real life. I actually bought a 2DS when they first launch to give it a go, but sold it shortly afterwards because I never used it. Anyway, let me know which version of the New 3DS you buy. Merry Xmas! :)
S3ISOR I was mostly considering the standard new 3ds because it would have more pixel density making the screens look sharper in comparison to the XL yet most reviewers are still preferring the XL's screens. So I'm really on the fence about which one haha
Shannon Kennerson Yeah it's a close one. The standard New 3DS definitely is sharper than the XL, but I the HUUUGE pixels on the XL add to the appeal for me (for some weird reason). Reminds me a bit of my first Gameboy and Gameboy Color. Let me know which one you end up getting! :)
When I play gameboy games on the XL I actually prefer it on the big screens even though it's so stretched out i find it easier to see whats going on. It's as if my eyes can't strain/focus enough on the original small screen sizes of the gameboy so I guess bigger is better haha.
I'm tempted to get the new 3ds because of the wood grain panel but also wait til there is a special edition XL and get that too.
Thanks for the replies I'll let you know what I settle with.
I got the xl because I care more about bigger screens and better battery life. Not a big fan of the gloss though.
Haydn Thorburn Me too, the glossy feel sucks. If only it had swappable face plates! :)
I till not okay with you guys getting the new 3 ds first...
I'm looking forward to buy the new Nintendo 3DS, but I'm hooked on the 2DS cheap price. Which one is more worthed?
HNRichard They are both good. If you have the money, the New 3DS is a better console, especially with the super stable 3D and the overall bigger screen. Good luck with your decision! :)
You just explained the reason why buy cartridges instead of digital! I always tell ppl yes it's convenient to have them digital but I also like collecting the boxes. Also i can share with my mom rather then her stealing my 3ds. Anyway, just random stopping by. (Wow! 219 is high! I'm waiting for the eu release. )
That's a good point - I forgot to mention that you can share physical cartridges. Thanks for the comment :)
WOW you can't transfer back to your old 3ds system?! That is such a bummer, i have a pokemon themed XL that i love and i was hoping to be able to transfer back n forth freely thanks to the removed limit restriction. Thats really lame, well i guess Ill have to get a new 3ds xl, thanks for mentioning that.
Yeah that's what I thought too. I was hoping to get a standard New 3DS and transfer back and forth with my standard Pikachu XL over the next year or so. Oh well, it kind of forces you to get a New 3DS XL at some point, especially if you like the screen size. Thanks for the comment :)
S3ISOR No problem, i enjoyed the video a lot! I will definitely pick up a New 3DS XL as soon as they release an awesome Pokemon themed one. The XL screen size is perfect. But for now i'll get the standard white as it looks like it matches better with the faceplates than the black (in my opinion)
Ash Ketchum Sounds like a plan! Hopefully we'll also see some Pikachu and other Pokemon-themed face plates next year as well.
this is what we need in America ,man now we have to wait if only there was no region lock then i could in port
Yeah tell me about it. I wish Nintendo would just get rid of region-locking. All it does is hurt gamers and limit choice. Thanks for the comment :)
Cool cases for the games (US just gets white) and I love the colored buttons. Again US kay gets XL. Can't complain too much because I am getting the XL anyway just because of the screen. That's right, still not out here in the US...
Only two weeks to go... :) And the XL is a great console to choose. Cheers!
the red one is groudon and the blue one is kyogre
He says in the video
Why is it cauld sea stick? Because it comes from south east asia? Or see stick because u cant see the see stick when u use it? Or c-stick? Got nothin.
Will the Australian new 3ds work for US cartridges? On the fence for standard and XL
Sadly no, all 3DSs are region locked. US games don't work in Australia and vice versa. Kinda sucks.
Is it available in the states yet?
Canada got screwed! We had no bonuses for Pokemon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire except for one retailer that was selling them as a bundle in a cardboard box, even X and Y only came with a poster if you preordered both. We have not received the new 3DS yet, only the new XL today, which is gorgeous, but the thing cost 30$ more than the US pricing which was previously the same! Canada is getting screwed by Nintendo!
That sucks. The US always seems to get the best prices on everything, regardless of how good/bad their dollar is doing. In Australia our prices are generally more expensive than the US, UK and Canada, so I'm pretty used to it by now :S
Did you pick up a new 3DS XL?
S3ISOR yes, i managed to preorder the Majora's mask edition and picked it up on friday, it is amazing!
Dragondude2525 Nice! So did I. I unboxed it yesterday and am very happy with it. I'm playing MM for the first time and it's quite a bit different to OoT haha. :)
S3ISOR oh, i haven't bought the game yet, and I haven't played the original on the N64 in a while! did you unbox the majora's mask 3DS system in a video?
Dragondude2525 Yeah I did, I'll be processing it today and tomorrow and should have it uploaded soon :) (I didn't play the original either so it's all new for me too).
My Alpha Sapphire case is white :/ great vid dude lol
Does the Australian New Nintendo 3ds, like you have, play American 3ds games?
Luiginoid Yoshi Hi, the Australian 3DS doesn't play American 3DS games because of Nintendo's region locking. Sorry :(
I live in canada can i not just import the new 3ds here? And will the american games work or will i need to import Australia games to? Thanks
Hi Braedon, you could import the Australian 3DS to Canada, however, our 3DS is region-locked to Australia/New Zealand and Europe, which means it can only play games from that region. So any games you have bought in Canada/NA won't work in the console. It's REALLY annoying that Nintendo still use region-locking, but there is no way around it at the moment (unless you imported Australia/European games to go with the console). Hopefully the New 3DS is released in Canada soon :)
Okay thanks so if i did get one from Australia english ofcourse. And bought my games there to. Can is till play onlone with my friends that have a 3ds?
Let me know please :)
Braedon H To be honest I'm not really sure. I'm sure you could, but it might be worth Google'ing to get an exact answer. I'd be pretty annoying to get an Australian console and then not be able to play with your Canadian mates. With that said, Pokemon Global Link works fine worldwide on any console.. so I'm not too sure. Maybe you could let us know if you find out :)
Braedon H
no you can't even multiplayer is region locked
hi! how big are the screens on the new 3ds? im from brazil and I've only seen xl's... are they bigger than the original 3ds and 2ds? like the dsi's screen or something... thanks!
+Rafael Alvarenga The New 3DS screens are bigger than the original 3DS and the 2DS. The top screen is 3.88 inches vs 3.5 on the original, and the bottom screen is 3.33 inches vs 3 on the original (from memory). Hope that helps!
+Rafael Alvarenga The 3ds XL feels better to play for hours, specially people with big hands =/ So keep it in mind.
Can you use ds lite games on the new 3ds? Sorry if I sound stupid I've never had one of these consoles
Yes you can :-). You can play any DS game on the console. I think some new DS games had region locking though, so they'd have to match the region of your console. EG. USA DSi games will work on a USA 3Da Console, but not an Australian one. Hope that helps :)
Is your job reviewing stuff? Or do u do reviews for fun?
im so jealous in the US the boxes of ORAS are white
Oh yea it sucks:/ but isn't it if you pre order it the case is colored?
I wouldn't get the wood cover being a clarinet player I have experience with cracking wood and broken bamboo.
It's not made completely out of wood,more like plastic with a wood layer on top of it if that makes sense
Jayongchy That's pretty much what I noticed too. The plastic under-section should make the unit a bit more durable I suspect.
Jayongchy yeah but I still would feel vary anxious if I had it out in the cold or have in in my pocket while it's raining
I'm not too sure if you'll be able to answer this, but I was wondering if having digitally downloaded games is different than the actual cartridge when you're doing the system transfers? All of my games are played with the physical cartridge (and when games saves, it gets saved onto the SD card as well right?) so if I do plan on getting the new 3ds, would the system transfer transfer the contents of my old SD card into the new micro SD---or is that something totally different?
To be honest, I'm not 100% sure how the mechanics of a system transfer works... however, I've transferred 3DS systems about 10 times now, and each time all my digital and physical cartridge games and save files all transfer properly, including virtual shop games, etc. I've never had a problem with a transfer and corrupted data or saves or anything like that. I'll be doing another transfer tomorrow actually haha! I hope that clarifies it for you? Cheers, :)
S3ISOR a bit late but thanks for answering my question! I was mainly concerned just because I was thinking of getting the new 3ds (small one) when it would be released in the US..butttt since they're only releasing the XL here, I guess I'll just have to stick with my 2ds for now heh :c Don't got the money for an XL!
***** Haha, no worries. I am happy to help! :) And that's a good decision made for you then I guees - the XL is an awesome console.
I have just started watching you.
Your videos
Does all PAL games work? I'm European but going to Australia this December
Yeah all European games will work on Australian 3DS's. This Australian Nintendo-fan website has a roundup of good prices which might be still relevant when you come out: www.vooks.net/aussie-bargain-roundup-find-the-new-nintendo-3ds-and-new-3ds-xl-cheap/ Enjoy your trip!
S3ISOR thanks :)
How much did it cost?
I got a great deal on mine on launch day, Big w had a console bundle of the new 3ds XL with charger and paper Mario for $248 and below that it said also available normal new 3ds, for $198 so I assumed that it came with bundle aswell but when my mum went to pick it up, it isn't so we spoke to the manager and they understood and le us have the bundle for $198 with the normal console, but then they ran out of paper Mario so I had to get another game so I picked up alpha sapphire, so I thought the was a pretty good deal. but I didn't know eb had the e shop cards on special that day, was it only in certain places, cause I'm from brassy.
Nice deal! That's a great price. What do you think of the new console? I'm hoping to see the New 3DS XL for under $200 in the Boxing Day sales.
Yeah I think its a great improvement over the orginal and the super stable 3d is great! I reckon that some shops will have then down in the boxing day sales, just got to get there early hey!
I picked up the new xl and OR so I'm pretty happy
Nice, good for you! OR will keep you busy for a while! :)
Shall I get new 3ds or new 3dsxl please help me decide guys and nice video
