Nintendo 3DS XL Review

The 3DS has hit it's stride and it's a great place to jump on board.

 

 The Nintendo 3DS is in a boom and its momentum seems unstoppable. I originally picked up a 3DS in 2011, after it went on sale, and I have to say that it was definitely worth the investment. I spent many an hour re-visiting old DS classics like Phoenix Wright Ace Attorney, Radient Historia and 9Hours 9Persons 9Doors. Then the flood of 3DS titles arrived in a tsunami of variety; Super Mario 3D Land, Mario Kart 7, Resident Evil: Revelations, Kid Icarus: Uprising and that's just to list a "few". Need less to say there has been no shortage of games to choose from, when it comes to 3DS games. The system itself is quite sturdy. It is available in both its original 3.5 inch screen variant( which comes in a variety of colors including; Cosmo black, Aqua blue, Red and purple variations) and the heavily marketed 90 percent larger screen variant the 3DS XL, which comes in at around 4.8 inches. The XL comes in fewer color variations as of this post including red, blue and more recently pink/white.

So I just redeem my Club Nintendo Elite status reward. I decided to go with Sakura Samurai, seeing as how it was generally well received, and I couldn't  care any less about getting the calenders...so, yeah. Hopefully after giving it a real go I can post some of my thoughts on it.
