New Nintendo 3DS XL announced

Updated portable gaming system coming very soon

Posted on

During a Nintendo Direct presentation today, Nintendo announced that the New Nintendo 3DS XL system will launch in the U.S. on February 13th for $199.99.

The New Nintendo 3DS XL offers a number of enhancements designed to offer a better portable gaming possible. The hardware refresh features a wider range of controls with the addition of a C Stick and ZL/ZR buttons, super-stable 3D via face-tracking technology and built-in NFC functionality that allows for communication with amiibo figures.

The new system provides a better way to play upcoming portable games like The Legend of Zelda: Majora’s Mask 3D, Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate and Code Name: S.T.E.A.M., as well as all other existing Nintendo 3DS software. The system also enhances certain games like Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS with amiibo functionality, faster processing speeds and more control options.

In addition to the standard hardware in New Red and New Black, two other New Nintendo 3DS XL designs will be available at launch: a system featuring artwork inspired by The Legend of Zelda: Majora’s Mask 3D and one based on Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate available exclusively at GameStop with the game pre-installed. The three stand-alone New Nintendo 3DS XL models and the Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate bundle will all be available on Feb. 13 at $199.99 and $229.99, respectively.
