I want one but I just upgraded to the 3DS XL before these just came out! So I never bothered but I hate how pixelated the XL is. Don't know if I could handle a smaller screen though HA. I want that extra analog stick tho!

Yeh, to be honest, I think I'd rather the smaller screen than pixelated graphics. Saying that the graphics are always going to be bad lol

Are you expecting PC graphics on your 3DS? If so, go get a PC and sell the 3DS.

Does the 3DS honestly have any decent games that are worth the extortionate prices Nintendo titles come at.

My Vita served me well and I've only paid for 3 or 4 games with the rest of the library being PS+.

I'm a snes and N64 kid and those buttons make me want this so moch even though I've got a normal 3DS already. But I can put the KPP plates on ugh

Apart from Ocarina of Time and Star Fox, two N64 re-releases being available below £15.

Nearly every big game is £30+

I agree that the games maybe a little expensive. However, if you look around you can get some real bargains.
Don't forget the titles that are £30+ only means you will need to save up and value the game even more.

I went for a NN3DS XL in the end (whenever it was released). Tested this model when it was released first (As i liked the idea of the coloured buttons and faceplates), but, due to having massive spade-like hands it was very uncomfortable to hold - felt like I had to dislocate my fingers just to hold it properly.

Anyway NN3DS XL was the first nintendo handheld I had owned since the GBC and at first I was kinda sceptical about ever having a good collection of games for it, since the games were expensive. Now...I have 40+ games for it. Thanks to hotukdeals I've been able to build a decent collection of decent games and was able to get them for cheap. Mind getting bravley default and fire emblem for £16, Kingdom hearts for £5, dead or alive and street fighter for like £2.80 or something from Amazon or Argos.

Another good thing to remember is that even in ''x amount'' of years, you'll still be able to resell the games for about £20-£30 (maybe more for rarer games). I mind buying Mario Kart 7 for my gf about 6 years ago for £30 and still a new physical copy will set you back around £30 today.

​3DS does not require Vita graphics as most games are RPG type games. If you want graphics jump on the vita. It's as simple as that.

I listed above 10 of its best games and neither are RPG.
also who says JRPGs don't need good resolution and good graphics..there are many of them on Vita.
The 3DS is more expensive than the Vita there is no excuse why it can't have a high resolution nice screen and good graphics.only because Nintendo were stingy and that they could get away with that.
the point is,it has great games but the hardware is poor and outdated.

​Pokemon and Monster Hunter graphics are not too special, yet they are the most successful titles on the 3DS! Why you ask? Because nobody cares about graphics. These games offer so much more than visual pleasantries. If looking for graphics, turn to the Vita, Xbox, PS4. Nintendo know what their fans need and graphics is not it. By the way. Zelda is an RPG.

mine arrived today on firmware 9.5
