If you like your portable gaming three-dimensional, clam-shelled and big, then Nintendo's 3DS XL fulfills those broad, unconventional requirements. It's a design refresh that more closely references both previous generations of DS hardware (and the incoming Wii U)
-- all while touting a substantially bigger, 3D-capable,
parallax-barrier screen. Aside from a larger battery, the XL's internals
rehash what we first saw over a year ago: the controls remain the same,
with no addition of a (mildly) hardcore gamer-courting second analog
stick. For what it's worth, the device does arrive with a 4GB SD card
in-box (up from 2GB in the original), matching the approximate doubling
in physical dimensions. 18 months is a long time in gaming, especially these days, and although 3DS sales have recently rallied against Sony's latest, we reckon the 3DS XL has double the appeal of its forebear.
