Nintendo 3DS XL console;4 GB SD card;Stylus;Nintendo 3DS XL user manual Review: The XL , Theres a Reason Why People Upgrade To The XL - So, i was about on desertcart, eagerly looking forward to the release of pokemon X / Y Back in December. As i was pre-ordering i saw the XL there at the £165 price tag and wondered how much better then the normal 3DS is it. I looked around the internet and found that alot of people were happy with the decision to upgrade so i made that plunge and went and got it. Delivery was Very Quick which was great as i wasn't sitting here wondering about why I had spent that amount of money on essentially a Bigger screen. Very happy with Delivery. So I have had it for 3 Months and i will definitely say, Its worth it. Without second question i would Recommend the XL over the others. You dont get hunched up in an awkward shape when your playing trying to focus on the screen, Theres so much more that i can casually play it by sitting it down on a table (With the 3D off. you know your asking a bit much if you want 3D from a silly distance). No more Piddly Contrall scheme Either. I read from a Previous Review, that it is likened to having Clicky Buttons. This is absolutely true and its much better for it as oppose to the Normal 3DS fragile Feel of the Buttons. A few Bad points i have found that are just Peeves iv found. The sound is not as loud as the Normal 3DS. Unless your in a dead silent room, Your gonna want a decent pair of headphones on you at all times as this thing with max volume doesn't really help Immerse you in anything. With Headphones though , this doesn't become that problem. The 3D , As always its hit and miss. Sometimes it will work with you, sometimes you find it annoying. But what I would say i noticed when playing Pokemon X/Y with the 3D on is don't even think about switching it on. Battle Phases become a horrible Laggy Frame rate Mess so I spend The majority of my time with it Off. The Other Problem i found is if you have a good few people living with you using the internet, You better get used to Resetting your router. There are no internet problems setting up, that's the easy part. Its when you want to use the Internet features when theres 3 other people on the internet, It just wont find the signal. I did do this test with the Original DS as well though and it was the same Result so this is just a general Problem with the DS family. Absolutely no worries though if theres not many people Chugging Your Bandwidth. Overall though, the Fact that You have a bigger screen is the Deal maker in this one for me though. I cant tell you how much happier i am with it. theres just so much more free room you can have with it its well worth £165 just to be Comfortable. If you Haven't got a DS yet. Spend the Extra amount. You will Not Regret it. And as a final parting note. I will Credit what everyone else says about the XL, 'Once you Upgrade, Theres no going back.@ Review: Bought as a Christmas present for my mum and she loves it... - My mum loves the 3DS XL. It was bought as a Christmas present for her along with Animal Crossing and she hasn't stopped playing on it since. There is only one bad things about it which is why I didn't give it a full 5 stars. When buying it I noticed desertcart recommended buying it with a 3DS XL adaptor. We wondered why 'cos normally electronic devices come with the adaptors and thought oh it's just one of those desertcart promotion things that got it wrong (like sometimes desertcart does suggest other things that are irrelevant that other people might have looked at afterwards). We didn't notice that right at the bottom of the desertcart listing it does state that the adaptor is not included. This isn't made clear at the top of the desertcart listing, and is only mentioned right at the bottom of the page after all the specs, and everything have been listed (something which if you just click buy now your likely to stop scrolling before you get to), it is also mentioned in the image of the product in the bright yellow box, but you can only make out what it says if you mouse over the image and see the bigger image (desertcart should really make this warning big enough to read in the small preview image), but if your buying a 3DS XL most of the time you won't bother mousing over the image to see the larger image because you know what a 3DS XL looks like! So you can imagine the disappointment on Christmas day when my mum opened the box, got the 3DS-XL out was about to play it and we were all like where's the AC adaptor? and being Christmas day we couldn't get her one till Boxing Day (we also found out that her old DS adaptor doesn't work with the 3DS-XL). Luckily though my sister had a 3DS and was able to lend her the adaptor on Christmas Day - the 3DS adaptors work with the 3DS-XL, but the original DS adaptors don't. I understand they've possibly done it for environmental reasons to reduce the number of adaptors lying around doing nothing and make it more eco friendly - but you'd think that on the box they'd put some clear hint to this that is visible from a preview, like maybe calling it "The Eco edition" or showing a green symbol, which tells you it's environmentally friendly edition which might not include adaptors. Other than that it's a very good console, but sorry Nintendo for being cheapskates and omitting the AC adaptor, and desertcart for not making it clear enough in the images you only get 4 stars. ## Features - Warning:Not suitable for children under 3 years.

I had the original for a time before it was sadly stolen, but had never gotten around to replacing it until now. First of all, be aware that this device does not come with a charger included. I didn't fall for this trap having read some other reviews, but honestly, its not something you'd expect - most hand held devices and general gaming consoles come with a charger included, I have no idea why these don't. Moving onto the good stuff - this had a lot more to it than I had expected. First of all its very easy to use and to setup, so whether your a kid or an adult you shouldn't have any problems at all with that. Following on from that, its general design is rather nice, its a bit heavier than I expected but not uncomfortable so and the additional screen size really is better for the gaming experience. Next, the 3d - not something I've had experience of before with games, so it came as a bit of an 'ooh look at that' moment. After the initial adapting of the eyes its rather cool, and you can change how intense you want the 3d to be, so if you're like me and want the screen close to your face you can turn it down a bit so its not quite as straining. In reverse, if you're playing with it at arms length you can up the 3d to full force to get the full effect. Overall I'm really happy with it, I've played a few games on there now and find the general control and usability to be brilliant. I also feel its rather durable (so long as you don't drop it screen first or something). My 4 year old niece has been playing with it regularly (without the 3d on of course, yay for parental controls) and she loves it and hasn't managed to break it or even scratch it as yet. Really good purchase. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.sg/products/55588752-nintendo-3ds-xl](https://www.desertcart.sg/products/55588752-nintendo-3ds-xl) --- *Product available on Desertcart Singapore* *Store origin: SG* *Last updated: 2026-10-05*
