Nintendo Handheld Console - White (Nintendo 3DS XL)

Product Information

If you fancied buying a 3DS but haven’t done so, it’s high time you did. When the 3DS first came out we had our doubts – the launch software line-up was weak, and there were serious questions about how a dedicated handheld could survive in a world of cheap, great smartphone games. Nintendo responded the way it always does: with games. Lower Screen: LCD with a touch screen capable of displaying 16.77 million colors . 4.18 inches (3.34 inches wide, 2.5 inches high) with 320 x 240 pixel resolution. Though this isn't as difficult as connecting the bottom-side PCB, it can still be a chore to line up the PCB with the connector. A good practice is to use the barrel of your screw driver to push the PCB into place from behind, as in the photo below:

Battery Duration: When playing Nintendo 3DS software, about 3.5 – 6.5 hours. When playing Nintendo DS software, about 6 – 10 hours. Battery duration differs depending on the brightness setting of the screen. The information regarding battery duration is a rough standard. It can be shorter depending on what functions of the Nintendo 3DS system are used. StreetPass Mii Plaza: Find out more about StreetPass Mii Plaza and how to interact with other Nintendo 3DS owners. The one thing that is disappointing is battery life. Nintendo claims the New 3DS XL lasts for between 3.5 and 7 hours while playing 3DS games, but we’ve still found the red warning light flashing at around four to five hours – still much sooner than we would expect. We all know that you need to make sacrifices for a bigger screen, but Nintendo could and should have done more. Should I buy the New Nintendo 3DS XL? This procedure requires a small Phillip's-head screwdriver, a small flathead screwdriver, a pair of tweezers, and a lot of patience.

Stylus - All Nintendo 3DS systems come with a Stylus to allow for precise touch controls on the bottom screen. The original Nintendo 3DS comes with an Adjustable Stylus that can be shortened or lengthened to your liking, while the Nintendo 3DS XL comes with a comfortable, full-sized Stylus. A widescreen display on the top screen shows 800x240 pixel resolution, allocating 400 pixels for each eye to create the 3D effect. Sound: Stereo speakers positioned to the left and right of the top screen (supports virtual surround sound). Motion Sensor & Gyro Sensor - Portable play control reaches a new level with these amazing features, allowing for new & unique gameplay mechanics. A built-in motion sensor and gyro sensor can react to the motion and tilt of the system, so whether players are twisting their systems side to side or moving them up and down, their motion-compatible Nintendo 3DS games respond instantly.

If both screens are acting weird, or not showing anything, well, you've got to reconnect all of the PCBs attached to the screens. Have fun with that!Two Screens - Game graphics have never looked better on a Nintendo handheld system, thanks to the two screens of the Nintendo 3DS system. Depth Slider - A built-in 3D Depth Slider allows you to immediately adjust the intensity of the 3D settings on the Nintendo 3DS system to your liking. The 3D effect can also be turned down completely—all Nintendo 3DS games and applications can be played in 2D, and look better than any Nintendo handheld before it. Not sure if you've received something? Look for the blue LED light on the outside of your Nintendo 3DS system or a blue dot on your favorite HOME Menu icon to find out what's been delivered to you.

Of course, the second analogue pad isn’t an analogue pad as such, but a weird little nub or nipple, of the sort we still see on Lenovo’s business laptops. Like those, it takes getting used to, and even after a few weeks we don’t find it that intuitive or precise. It’s fine for moving the camera around in Majora’s Mask and Monster Hunter 4, but I really wouldn’t want to try playing shooters with it. In fact, the 3DS’s tilt-and-touch controls are better for precision aiming.Let’s cut to the chase. The New Nintendo 3DS XL is, without doubt, the best version of the 3DS ever, and the most feature-rich, comfortable and cleverly thought-out Nintendo handheld since the DS Lite. It has a fantastic 3D screen that actually works in 3D, a processor that’s better equipped for handling more advanced 3D games, and a built-in secondary analogue pad that – with some minor reservations – renders the old Circle Pad Pro accessory unnecessary. It’s a brilliant device. Cameras: One inner camera and two outer cameras. The resolution is 640 x 480 for each camera. The lenses are single-focus and use the CMOS capture element. The active pixel count is approximately 300,000 pixels. Getting SpotPass on the go is easier than ever!

Surprise...this part's easy! You can leave the microphone's flex PCB connected to the motherboard. Simply lift the microphone out of the upper case as shown below, using either your fingers, or a pair of tweezers: The screens aren’t merely the same size, but the exact same resolution, with a 4.18-inch, 320 x 240 resistive touchscreen at the bottom and a 4.88-inch, 800 x 240 screen at the top. By smartphone standards that’s not much of a resolution, and even less so when you consider that it’s divided into 400 x 240 per eye by the 3D tech. Yet this is the crispest, brightest and most vibrant display we’ve yet had on a 3DS, and certainly the one on which 3D is most effective. The new processor doesn’t make an awful lot of difference right now. We’re hearing word that some recent games which occasionally struggle to run at a consistently smooth frame rate on the old model have no problems on the New 3DS XL, but the real impact will be felt when we see games that only run on the new model, or with enhanced visuals over existing 3DS consoles. Similarly, the new unit’s support for NFC and Nintendo’s Amiibo figures could be telling, though at the moment there’s not enough software to make it feel worthwhile. Congratulations! You've successfully removed the motherboard from your 3DS XL and you've got a scary mess of electronics and tiny screws scattered around your workspace/kitchen table/living room floor. Have you lost anything yet? No? Good. Don't do that! Now that you've re-attached all the previously disconnected PCBs, there are only a few simple steps left. First, re-attach the wireless module, taking care to align the connectors properly, as below:Once you've re-attached the flex PCB for the Circle Pad Module, you will need to re-attach the module to the board. Taking care not to lose the magnetic film that sits between the Circle Pad Module and the Circle Pad itself, insert the module into its slot as shown below. Once you've done so, use one hand to press down gently on the module, while screwing in the extra long screws you previously removed from the module:
