New 3DS XL vs... well, older DS systems
Posted: July 15th, 2018, 9:45 am
Recently, Amazon had a Warehouse deal (an extra 20% off certain items). I went ahead and bought two "Very Good" New 3DS XL SNES edition systems (came up to $104 each, also come with a download of the original Super Mario Kart), so I can replace my kids' aging 2DS (original), and the original 3DS systems (thinking Christmas gifts).
What I am curious about, is are the New 3DS XL systems really a big upgrade? Are there any exclusive titles for just those "New" systems (I am guessing the New 2DS XL falls in this category as well)? Or is this more of a money grab from Nintendo? I only ask, because I got thinking about it a day after I bought them, and not really knowing. Looking at online searches, I only see some mild musings, like the systems being somewhat faster, slightly different button layout. I do dig the SNES look of the systems I bought though.. they certainly look really awesome!
Anyhow, your thoughts would be appreciated, especially those who made the upgrade to the New 3DS XL (or even the New 2DS XL).
