A beautiful limited edition

Aesthetically, this console is superb. The drawing Pikachu is very clear, very beautiful.

At use, the console is much more pleasant than the 3DS 'normal'. The top screen is 90% larger, it makes the undeniable visual comfort. I find the prettiest colors more vivid. The battery lasts longer than the old model and the 3D effect is more immersive (lightly but it feels nonetheless). The location of the stylus is also better (it is placed on its side while the former stylus was located above). The quality of manufacturing and assembly is good (while in my opinion not as good as on the first 3DS). The console seems to me heavier, and because of its size it is in fact less portable (rather transportable).

Ultimately, it is a console to own or to offer. The console, to 199.99 euros, costs only 15 euros more than a standard edition. It is a must for all collectors and it surely will please all of these year-end celebrations.

Note however:

1) Nintendo no longer supplies power adapter (which I find disappointing). We must therefore add 10 euros for a charger, unless you already have a Nintendo DSi charger, DSi XL or 3DS normal.

2) At this time, for buying a 3DS XL (once it has been registered on the Nintendo website) offers 1 Nintendo game download from a list of 5 games (eg Super Mario 3D Land, the last Professor Layton ...). It saves the cost of a game - CAUTION:. This offer is no longer officially available now. The deadline of January 15 being exceeded.
