Have You Heard the Good News, Friends
Jul. 3rd, 2016 11:59 amI bought a New Nintendo 3DS XL, and it changed my life, holy fuck.
The thing is a marvel of technology. Although its screens are significantly larger than those of the original 3DS, it feels lighter, and its 3D capacity actually works the way it's supposed to without giving me a headache. While the system is in 3D mode, the graphics remains sharp, even to the extent that I can still read the text in Bravely Second.
In addition, Nintendo DS games look gorgeous on the New Nintendo 3DS XL. The touch screen responsivity is greatly improved, and even silly peripherals – like the mic feature, which many first-party DS games require – work much better than they did on previous systems.
My life has been a mess lately, and it's good to have access to this small window of happiness. I only wish that there were a reasonable way to abbreviate the name of the device. NN3DSXL doesn't really have the catchy je ne sais quoi one expects in Nintendo hardware appellations.
