Pro or innovations:
- (XL) much larger, good displays, usual good touch response, resolution I find sufficient
- Finally a second, albeit small analog stick on the right side, for camera rotation, which is depending on the game partly compulsory.
For me, one of the main arguments, finally lugging no additional Circle Pad more.
- More power, I notice in the first place when I am in the menu go to where there is the ONLY games are compatible for the New 3DS, due to its higher performance. Remains to be seen how many will be the long term and whether it is a "must-buy" eventually becomes.
- Slightly stronger battery come in about 1-2 hours more playing time.. With in 3D, ie about 5-7 hrs. Operation. Considering that he almost continuously operates 2 large displays plus 3D technology, this is a super value.
- Noble, shiny surface, as often happens, however, has the disadvantage of rapid fingerprints. Make here but anyway always a plus Case Drum Bag, which I would recommend to anyone for general protection.
- Improved 3D representation, by facial recognition to have the inclination winding optimal. Also a big plus.
- NFC chip
- Two shoulder buttons
Neutral:
- Camera usual feeble in the resolution with 640 x 480 as the maximum, I know it should not be a full-fledged camera, but in times where every cheap mobile phone or digicam for 10-20 Eur already comes to plus or minus 3 MP, I find it may be more.
On the other hand you have the phone always on and I almost never use the cameras of the 3DS for photos, so I prefer no rating for now and just values him as a pure game console / handheld.
- No more WLAN switch is controlled from the menu, do not bother me further.
Negatives:
- I know it is in, but for me still not understood that there is no power supply, cable is included. Unfavorable approach in my opinion, then they should do it because of me a more expensive numeric and enclose it for.
Again, I still prefer no ZIP code, because I want to assess the quality of the device and not the accessories, packaging, etc.
General:
I was always more of PSP / PS Vita supporter, but must admit that there are choices for DS / 3DS line, just more and better games. Fifa times excluded, but only for that I'm considering no longer Vita back.
In summary, for me were the main arguments against the other 3DS models, the improved 3D technology and internal, second analog stick. The extra output and the rest will not hurt, of course.
If you already have an old model, has to decide whether he needs the innovations. With new acquisition I would strongly advise you to this model, since it did not price increases so much.
