Reader Discussion: Were You Able To Find A New 3DS XL?
Friday marked the release of the newest addition to the 3DS family: the New 3DS XL. While we knew the limited Majora's Mask and Monster Hunter editions of the handheld would sell out quickly, it appears as though several retailers across the country are sold out of the standard red and black models as well.
In addition to improved head tracking for 3D effect, a new c-stick nub, and a more powerful processor, Nintendo's New 3DS XL also includes an NFC reader for native use with the popular Amiibo figures. You can check out our full review of the New 3DS XL here.
With supply being as limited as it is, were you able to secure a New 3DS XL? Did you manage to grab one of the special edition models, or did you stick with the standard colors? If you're intentionally waiting, what would push you over the edge and cause you to pick one up?
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
