Visually, the device has become a little more appealing and the new, more stable 3-D function like it very much.
What really bothers me is the position of some buttons!
Especially bad is the new arrangement of the input and Ausschaltknopfes on the narrow front panel. Who on Earth came up with this idea? An absolute Verschlimmbesserung! It's always an ordeal on and off the device, especially the pressing the power button at all only works with counter-pressure at the back of the device (which in turn is equipped with many keys).
The positioning of the new second stick I do not thought through. He is, as already described by other users, difficulties accessing and feels unpleasantly hard. Also that the WLAN switch is entirely disappeared, and the wireless network can be controlled only via the touchscreen, I find negative. There are in some games (eg. Animal Crossing) situations where you have to / want to turn off the Wi-Fi quickly, which is now no longer possible.
If you can live with these pesky little things, one has a visually appealing little toy that does what it should. An absolute buy recommendation, but I would say just for the people who do not have a 3DS. If you already have a 3DS or 3DS XL, for which the new acquisition in my opinion is not worth to.
Four stars.
