Okay so this video is really something new and recently put out…well maybe it was recently put out? I don’t know. Its a cool video that you should watch that I found on IGN. The author thought it was neat to so I thought I share it as well.
During its Nintendo Direct broadcast last night, Nintendo revealed a new version of the 3DS featuring larger screens.
The system will be called 3DS XL in the West and will have a retail price of $199.99.
It will be released on August 19th in America, the same day as New Super Mario Bros. 2. It’s due to hit European shelves slightly earlier on July 28th, the same day as Japan, though a price has yet to be confirmed.
The 3DS XL’s top screen is now 4.88 inches, while the lower screen is now 4.18 inches. Both screens will be 90% larger than on the original 3DS. The actual resolution on the screens is the same as the original 3DS.
The new 3DS will have longer battery life than the original model of the 3DS. Nintendo notes that 3DS XL will have a battery life between 3.5 and 6.5 hours while playing 3DS games (compared to 3-5 hours for 3DS) and between 6 and 10 hours while playing DS games (compared to 5-8 hours for 3DS). The 3DS XL’s battery will take approximately three hours and 30 minutes to charge.
The system will be released in red and blue. Europe will also receive a silver option.
Lets see the changes after patch 1.0.3
As of right now we know that Nintendo has confirmed the Wii U will release worldwide this holiday season, which leaves us to this question. When will the console go on sale? According to Amazon Germany, the new system will arrive on December 21, priced at €399, or about $500.
The original Wii launched in North America during November 2006 at $250 and arrived in Europe a month later for €250.
Earlier this month, Wedbush Securities analyst Michael Pachter said the Wii U must retail for under $300 at launch.
The Wii U is Nintendo’s first high-definition console and has gigantic shoes to fill if it wants to replicate the success of its predecessor. The original Wii launched in 2006 and is presently the top-seller in the current generation, topping the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360.
