Find Best Price at Amazon"I consider the change from SD to Micro-SD a big improvement in terms of availability of cheap upgrades, but you might be disappointed with the extra work going into unscrewing the back cover instead off just popping it in and out. Now, on to the pros and cons of the New 3DS XL versus the following: Original DS + DSXL: Night and day, no matter which model you end up with for the N3DSXL, it's a massive improvement unless you're worried about keeping the system small for travel. The glossy finish is a fingerprint magnet and not quite as grippy as the standard N3DS, but less prone to hand cramps if you're an adult. The smaller N3DS still feels better in the hand than the original, so props to Nintendo for just slightly increasing the size to fix that comfort level. Your best bet is to play the lottery a few times via Amazon by returning for a replacement until you get the best screen, unless you don't mind settling for the TN (which renders the 3D tracking useless)."
"Any online content you purchase, is saved to the device only."
"After a couple of uses the top and bottom screen gets dirty, but you can dampen a cloth and wipe the smudges off."
"I bought this for my grandson for Christmas and he loves it."
"Had it for a few weeks now, doesn't hold charge anymore but we're usually not mobile with it as we sit on our lovesac sectional and play so it's within range of a plug."
"Higher priced, but it's great."
"I bought this for my boyfriend for Christmas and started setting it up last night so it would be ready and charged."
"It's noticeably faster than my old 3DS XL and the camera tracks your head now so you don't have to keep it perfectly still to see the 3D effect properly."

I bought a bunch of my favorite retro games & a few newer ones & I don't need the carts for them! lol So if you're an old school gamer like me & owned a DS or Wii (or any of the 80's/90's systems), go for it!"
"Works perfect."
"I've been glued this console ever since I got it."
"the purple color is stunning!"
"Kinda cheap feel compared to original 3DS."

Zippered, protective case.
Reviews
Find Best Price at Amazon"The case has provided a good amount of protection for my system and has helped it survive a few drops, and I very much like the simple black design."
"It's got a few straps inside to keep the 3DS secure...which I don't use, and a spot for 3 games which grip them tight which is good unless you want your games on the floor when you open it, or sliding around in the case."
"I have exactly 3 games (minus what's loaded into the system currently) at the moment & I love how the flap inside prevents it from scratching the 3DS XL."
"The two wider straps fit nicely around the system keeping it from falling out accidentally if the case is open."
"1 game fit comfortably in each slot but you can fit 2 in each with some effort."
"A couple things I would wish for would be a wrist strap built in, also there is a lot of empty real estate on the inside top of the case which I wish they added more game slots to since it's just a blank slate."
"Will look after it to avoid breaking it by knocks and falls."
"I thought I could fit the charger or at least a USB cable in it, but to be fair other reviewers stated clearly that it would be hard/impossible to do so."

Find Best Price at Amazon"Huge changes to the pokemon formula since Pokemon X & Y, no longer as it's strictly battle and collecting focused (although still present) as they added variety of mechanics to switch things up a bit and to bring more variety in gameplay. After you battle a pokemon once, the game will tell you what moves is super effective or not in the battle menu once you encounter the same pokemon the second time. There are 4 islands in the game, each of which are controlled by 4 Island Kahunas. To get to them you have to get pass Trail Captains and Todum Pokemon. Trail captain will give you quizzes, side quests to complete, and/or fight in traditional battles. Todum Pokemon. Z-Moves. With a Z-Ring and a Z-Crystal you can use a pokemon's ultimate move once per battle. Battle Royal. A 4 player free-for-all where the battle ends after all of one's pokemon trainer's faints. Once a pokemon reaches level 100, they can go through hyper training which can improve a Pokemon's IV. 10. Night and Day phase, New Pokemon. Pokemon Sun goes the traditional time route while Moon does the opposite. Some events also play out differently like different Totum Pokemon on the same island/trail. In traditional Pokemon fashion you can only get some pokemon in each version so trading is required either with a friend or if you own both versions. I'd say some of overall models of new pokemon are better looking than the last batch in previous iterations of the pokemon series. Pokemon Refresh. Similar to Pokemon amie but with more grooming options. -Returning mechanics: Pokebank return, you can now transfer all your pokemon to Sun and Moon. Clothing Options: Although more options are available, it still feel very limited. Mega Evolutions return, but none for new pokemon from what i've discovered. Overall, love the changes to the traditional formula as it gives the Pokemon Series a nice refresh and is more streamline to play."
"This is a fun game that my six year old grandson can mostly understand and play on his own, keeping in mind that he is somewhat of a gamer already."
"And I love some of the new mechanics and can't wait to move my old team to the game!"
"Post game stuff was kind of weak."
"If you're looking to get into its competitive side, just keep in mind you still have to spend a lot of time breeding, grinding EVs, getting the right nature, the right moves, and hidden abilities."
"They added more story than normal which at beginning was honestly a bit obnoxious because I wanted to fight people but in the end I enjoyed the game throughly and I am still playing to catch the cool new pokemon and train them up."
"Your actually rewarded for catching as many Pokemon as you can which along with being the best there every was is kinda the point of this game."
"I'm not a big fan of the trials replacing the pokemon gyms."

Battle through a tournament in 3-D fighting arenas or take on multiple players with special moves and unique strengths. Normally, Nintendo contract players such as Mario, Pikachu, Link, Donkey Kong, Bowser, and Kirby are generally happy and well-mannered, but in Super Smash Bros. Melee , the pleasantries get thrown out and the gloves (except for Mario's) come off. This update of the N64 favorite features these and other video game icons in furious, yet utterly absurd fisticuffs that usually make for a smashing good time. Starting off with 14 characters (an additional 11 are waiting to be unlocked), the game has a pretty standard premise--let Nintendo's stars beat on each other until the timer runs out. The game features an adventure mode that plays somewhat like an old-school, side-scrolling Mario game. Number of Players: Offline: 1-4 Players.

Find Best Price at Amazon"In buying the game 'Super Smash Bros. Melee' for the system Game Cube, my thoughts are heavily satisfied."
"Adding 15 some characters all new to the mix, a small mini-game missions' section where you had to complete different obstacles, a trophy section with real game/character/item facts, newly remastered stages w/ classic 64-bit stages, a new single player Adventure mode where you can roam through the worlds of Nintendo's All Stars, and a survival game system where you can battle the polygon warriors in endless waves to the death. The fighting capabilities allow for a greater range of attacks and make use of fade-away dodge features which allow versatile tactics to keep effect through the game-play. In the heat of battle these slight failures and miscommunications of the control schemes will become more and more obvious the more you play them but on the flip-side of that argument that gives the game a great bit of unpredictability."
"SSBM is from the dawn of perfect video games, where all the content came included in the game, and you had to unlock it through progress, instead of the latest paid DLC trend."
"The fighting style, tactics, and just general theme were captivating and surprisingly difficult to master. Things like air-dodging, chargeable smash attacks, side-B moves, pummeling (punching the enemy once you have them in a grab [with the z-button]), and more elemental attacks have all been added to create a fighting game with combos and mindtricks that rivals those of the most advanced 2D fighters. This makes SSBM a variable fighter, and allows for people to create their own combos (with varying success of course). Super Smash Bros. Brawl, on the other hand, was release 7 years after SSBM, but not much was changed at all."
"The disc started working fine and does so most of the time but it was clearly not "Used- Very Good" condition and did not have a game manual in the case."

"I never thought I would rate one of the core Pokemon games anything below 5 stars, but I was a bit disappointed with this generation."
"Also, many new Pokemon their are some changes made to existing Pokemon called Alola forms which adds new twists and a competitive edge to certain pokemon."
"Loved this game!"
"It's fun and I loved seeing all the new pokemon."
"I've been having a good time with Pokemon Sun thus far, but I will say that it almost feels a bit overbearing in the ways it provides things to you."
"I thought they were kind of hand-holdy this time around with the equal XP-sharing to all party members, but it didn't really take away from my enjoyment of the game, just made it super easy."

The extra large stylus pen we include with our 3DS xl and 2DS XL case is very popular with our customers. Kids find the extra large stylus much easier to use than the standard stylus pen. The inside of the case is lined with a soft microfiber material that keeps your 3DS/2DS and accessories snug, while preventing scratches. That means If you’re not 100% satisfied with your case or ANY reason, we’ll replace it or issue a full refund, no questions asked. Our new Nintendo 3DS XL case is also designed with enough room to comfortably fit a standard wall charger.

"The case fits my New 3DS XL perfectly, with or without a Hori TPU case around it."
"The level of customer service is on par with what I imagine giants like Apple and Microsoft should be. I bought this as a Christmas gift for my daughter and I filled it with her new New Nintendo 2DS XL, a couple of new games, some old games and even a small package of Goldfish (She loves those things)."
"I needed a smaller case for my 3DS and my small collection of games, I had an old bulky case and it was a softshell, so I wasnt too keen on it protecting my 3DS, especially when I put it in my suitcase."
"There are only 8 dedicated Cartridge pockets but there are alot more room in the upper compartment where you will also store you chargers and cables. and lastly everything you'll put inside this case will be secured and in place so your stuffs wont hit each other even if you intentionally shake it!"
"I just love this case in general, there is a velcro part of the compartment to make sure it does not move (compartment where the DS would go) , to keep and there is a little pully tab to easily pull out your 3DS, due to the shape of the case this is a really great addition and I couldn't be happier with my purchase!"

"Product came fast with no issues, I love the detail on the pixalated Mario it looks great and colorful great buy!"
"Very cute and great quality paint for the Pikachu amiibo."
"I expected a lonely figurine in bubble wrap and as long as it works, I'm been happy."
"They have great build quality and are very collectible, but with the limited integration there isn't enough to warrant more than your absolute favorites. If you are a huge Punch-Out or Animal Crossing fan you can bet that you are going to be paying much more than retail to get your amiibo because of Nintendo's inconclusive and wishy-washiness on their 'discontinued' stance."
"Palutena is as she looks, stands tall and is very detailed for the size."
"It is one of my favorite amiibos, it is really nice detailed, this amiibo is really big compared with others and it also is really heavy, i would like nintendo use it in future releases not only in super smash bros for wii u and 3ds."
"the only bit of advice i have is not to pay more than retail on the us ones, you are better off buying from an international seller for half the price."
