Nintendo has gone then the DSi the way and took him as a pioneer (and DUT) at this 3DS to the market. This has established itself and so paved the way for the 3D version. Is Nintendo this time the same step or the New 3DS more than just a harbinger?
Reasons to change to a (New) 3DS XL:
As mentioned earlier, I had before buying the New 3DS owners of small and normal variant. This saw with its metallic look maybe a little nicer than the new variant, which consists only of plastic, but the little DS did to me but after a short season so so his thumb hurt that I rarely longer than 30 to 45 minutes at a time could play. In addition to better handling during the XL version has me naturally addressed the larger screen, which is significantly greater than in the standard version and leaves a great impression.
Design of New 3DS XL (compared to the old and the small New 3DS)
Unlike the original 3DS, the housing of the N3DS plastic and is no longer as originally made of metal. Through the plastic housing the device, however, is noticeably lighter (also in the XL version) and makes my eyes still a fabulous impression.
While you can add value to the housing by means of additional cover in various patterns and pictures when small New 3DS, this is not possible with the XL version. Means you could the New 3DS XL only use as you buy it and do not embellish with additional cover. This should now be a reason but not to buy the machine, after all, this was also the old 3DS not possible and the colors currently offered to do something here.
Compared to the old 3DS Also the buttons (A / B and X / Y) have changed slightly. More specifically, they now get color! While the buttons at the small New 3DS now where the good old Super Nintendo are similar, get the XL version is only half as beautiful buttons. There are unfortunately only the letter and not the whole colored buttons as with the small version, very bad!
Brand new in both New 3DS variants are the two new shoulder buttons (ZL and ZR), which now also migrate to the well-known at the top of the hand and Hero's uncompromising fit in the new design. The only drawback: The new buttons are a bit small and poorly positioned arg. We therefore need a little finger acrobatics to get used to the keys in the games. Nevertheless, they meet after a short time its purpose perfectly.
In addition, the C-Stick is new, which was one of the selling points for the New 3DS. Since I have never owns the Circle Pad Pro, I wanted to finally enjoy the new control unit. Since the C-stick does not move as the Circle Pad, but continued sitting in the thumb movement to its starting point, the whole thing is getting used to. I have a good two days to come completely to terms with the nub. But one does this one time, he is in my eyes after a Circle Pad in nothing. It served its purpose, allows the camera to play very well if possibly slower than what the Circle Pad, swivel and leaves me with a great impression. I can understand the criticism little in comparison with the Circle Pad, but this may be because I had never one.
Through these same innately built version is now no additional part in the form of CP has more to lug (the Circle Pad can still be used, but the new C-Stick makes it, in my view superfluous).
Furthermore, one could precisely through the built-in flash drive future games expected in ego-view. Against a new Metroid Prime on the New 3DS I would in any case not object. The option would now definitely :-)
The volume control now moves to the upper left side of the device and is arranged in parallel with the 3D slider on the right side.
By contrast, the wireless controller is completely gone from the device. To activate wireless / disable one now in 3DS menu on a corresponding point. Bother me absolutely not, because I read WLAN always run, and if it should be made once, you can do easily on the menu that yes.
The modular bay, the stylus hiding and the power button are now migrated to the lower side. When module slot and power button was the reason of that one so now may be less quickly throw the module accidentally out of the bay or off the device. This is me indeed never happened before in small DS, but certainly makes for some extra security.
The Start and Select button is now located below the A / B and X / Y buttons. For me are still a little unfamiliar, can be pressed particularly choppy something, but is very, very marginal.
Technical Details:
One of the technical showpieces of New 3DS is the extremely strong enhanced 3D representation of the device. In addition to an incredibly good appreciation of the overall 3D effect now exists an eye-motion tracking function, which detects the position of the eye and adjusts the 3D effect accordingly. So you can now enjoy a clear conscience the 3D effect from a different angle and hand position. This works surprisingly well and evaluates the games in 3D on immensely. Through the new 3D effect my 3D switch is now significantly more likely turned than the previous DS. Class!
In addition, a significantly better processor in N3DS was installed. With this processor not only computationally intensive games (Monster Hunter 4 or the soon to be released Xenoblade) possible, the whole system works per se are now noticeably faster. Switching between game main menu and other is much faster by hand.
I have not tested for the purpose of missing Amiibo figure Built on the touchpad NFC function. Anyway, the 3DS now has a corresponding NFC sensor, so you do not need these extra-retrofit.
Practice test 3D effect:
Super Mario 3D Land: Compared to the old 3D effect lot has changed here. The effect is much better, has much more depth and lets the player certain situations better assess,
Zelda: A Link Between Worlds: The same as in Super Mario 3D Land also applies to Zelda. Extreme appreciation of the 3D effect makes real what her and invites to play the game again.
Professor Layton: I found the 3D effect at the Layton games class before, but here too there is a clear appreciation. The game looks much 3D containing than before and is a pleasure to play in stereoscopic 3D.
Practical test C-Stick:
- Resident Evil Revelations: Many find that the Circle Pad is superior to the C-stick and make it fast to Resident Evil. At that time I played it with great difficulty without the additional CP, with the new C-stick, it is now a pleasure. The controller and camera works awesome. Solely the achievement and operation of the ZL and ZR buttons, which are necessary for the game, I find it hard anything.
Kingdom Hearts 3D: For the game, although a Circle Pad was never really are needed, however, you can use this or the new C-Stick for camera work. Again the Knubbel makes a good impression, if one has since gotten used to it!
Zelda: Majora's Mask: The camera work is absolutely great by hand, the game can be played with the stick and are great in my eyes an event, rather to pick up the Circle Pad. Super!
Conclusion and forecast:
For me the New 3DS is much more than a warm infusion, he completes the good game feeling with his new buttons and the built-up C-Stick and the heavily revised 3D effect from outstanding and makes you want more. So I reach now even better than it already has the device and games (sometimes longer) Round Nintendo DS.
I am sure that you some (not included) New 3DS expect games through the newly created possibilities that the new possibilities cleverly employ and the N3DS therefore is more than just a short stopgap. A new Metroid Prime (thanks to C-Stick), further reactions such as Zelda: MM or Xenoblade (supposedly could Zelda: Twilight Princess will find its way to the hand hero) or entirely new and computationally intensive games offer plenty of room for speculation about new games and pure fun :-)
Only the, as already mentioned, some small, new shoulder buttons and the non-existent at XL entirely colored buttons reduce the overall result for easy, yet a strong buy recommendation, especially when you own a 3DS first generation in a long time or finally a XL may have replaced!
