Review ~ 3DS XL pink/white!
 Hi!  Around two weeks ago now, Taekyung and I purchased the Nintendo 3DS XL in pink/white! Ahh! It was my birthday present from him and I payed a little towards it, he's too nice and shouldn't have spent that much on me. ;w; But he knew I really wanted one (and he wanted to play too!). I was so excited to get one because it's something I've wanted for a while and seeing the new release of Animal Crossing New Leaf made me want one even more!
We purchased both the 3DS XL and Animal Crossing game from Target.
Look how pretty it is! The lighting doesn't do it much justice, sorry. As you can see there's two cameras on the front, one is for taking photos in 3D and one is for taking photos in 2D. There's also a camera in the middle of the top screen on the inside which I think is a nice feature. The camera quality isn't great unfortunately, but it's still nice.
I also LOVE the consoles texture. It isn't shiny and doesn't pick up fingerprints, but instead soft and feels nice in your hands.
And this is what it looks like when you open it up. Everything is placed nicely and the design is just so clean and simple. On the left bottom half you can see the circle pad (allowing analog control) and the + control pad. To the right is the Y, X, A, B buttons and below that the POWER button. Then conveniently in the middle is SELECT, HOME, START. Also on the left side of the console is the slider that controls the volume, and on the right side the slider that controls wireless!
The top half of the console features the camera and the all important 3D depth slider! I have problems with my eyes that don't allow me to see 3D (as in 3D at the movies and a lot of optical illusions) so I was afraid I wouldn't be able to see the 3D, but I can! And it's amazing! Haha. If you're the same you'll be able to see this! I wouldn't recommend keeping the 3D feature on for too long though as it can hurt your eyes. You can turn the 3D all the way up, or not have it on at all so you can play normally in 3D.
The box!
One of the main reasons we wanted to get the 3DS XL and not just the regular 3DS, was because of the size. As you can see as advertised on the box, the screens are 90% larger with the XL! When we were in Target, we tried playing on the normal 3DS and had no regrets whatsoever in purchasing the XL as the whole gaming experience really is so much better on the larger console. The screen seemed so tiny and the graphics didn't appear as clear.. It just was a disappointment compared to the one we purchased. Also although the XL is bigger, it doesn't feel bulky in our hands and it doesn't feel too heavy either.
Another really nice feature about this console is the holes on each size that allow you to add charms and such! I think this is nice as you can then personalize your 3DS more and I really want to find a cute plush or something with a cellphone strap so I can attach it to the side. At the bottom you can also plug in your headphones!
 
I really love this console and I'm so glad I own one. I play it every day with Taekyung on Animal Crossing and two days ago we also got Mario 3D Land! I think it's definitely worth the money!
