Let’s See How Nintendo’s New 3DS XL Sizes Up to the Competition

Nintendo is releasing an extra-large version of its 3DS in August, so it's time to start stretching out those pockets. How does the 3DS XL size up to other portable gaming machines? Let's answer that question with a handy-dandy size comparison chart.

All I got from that image is that the Wii U gamepad is bulky is as hell

PoSTedUP4329d ago

i didnt know the 3DS was a beast until i saw Resident evil gameplay. am totally getting one to balance out the incredible power and graphics of the Vita.

@PoSTedUP
I am still trying to beat Revelations on hard... seriously it's an amazing game and the 3D effect is pretty good. If you can have a 3DS + Vita then you will be a happy person. Also, I would like to introduce you to some 3DS games (including upcoming games for this year) so you can search for more info later and see if there is any game you want:
-The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D
-Super Mario 3D Land
-Resident Evil: Revelations
-Kid Icarus: Uprising
-Pilotwings Resort
-New Super Mario Bros. 2
-Mario Kart 7
-Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance
-Super Street Fighter IV: 3D Edition
-Paper Mario
-Luigi's Mansion 2
-Professor Layton
-Heroes of Ruin
-Castlevania: Mirror of Fate
-Mario Tennis
-Fire Emblem
-Shin Megami Tensei: Devil Survivor Overclocked
-Animal Crossing
-Harvest Moon: A New Beginning
-Theatrhythm Final Fantasy
-Pushmo

I am sure you will be happy with both handhelds. Good luck!

PoSTedUP4329d ago

woah woah woah woah, hold on... Did You Say PILOT WINGS!? omg that was THEE best Game On the N64 i can't Believe that they made another one!!! IM SOLD. thank you for that. and that's cool yeah Resident evil really looks like a true resident evil game. thank you again.

Coltrane_C4329d ago

Pilotwings on 3D was not the same experience....Warning you now

Hisiru4329d ago

@PoSTedUP
As Coltrane_C said, it's not exactly the same experience, but it's a very good game and the 3D effect is one of the best on the system. Also, if you want 100% on this game, then it will very challenging.

Wow yeah. If those pictures really are to scale then it's even longer than on ipad. Eesh.

Y_51504330d ago

I would like all those devices. You know, for comparing purposes. :P

StraightPath4329d ago

The large screen will beautiful, but the increase of overall size not sure how comfortable it will feel until i hold one personally. Vita is pretty large aswell.

PoSTedUP4329d ago

the only handhelds that were comfortable were the gamegear and the gameboys imo, all the new ones cramp my hands after like 8 minutes. the Grips for the psp and the vita are a must. the vita is only a little bigger than the psp, it's still too thin to be comfortable if you're not a little kid.

Hisiru4329d ago

I had no problems holding my vita or my PSP, but I had some problems trying to play FPS games on the original DS (it hurts my hands).

PoSTedUP4329d ago

i aint trying to diss the vita, i love it and play it everyday. i just had to get the grip for it, just the fact that it doesn't fit your hands it's like trying to do pullups on a 2x4 (2-by-4)

NeXXXuS4329d ago

maybe you just have bigger than average hands?

PoSTedUP4329d ago

idk. i have the same size hands as my cousin and he says the ps3 controller is too small for him meanwhile i feel it is just perfect. humph...

Kennytaur4329d ago

I'm a bit worried about it's PPI as it'll most likely have the same resolution as the standard model, but on a much larger screen. Hopefully the image wont look like shite. Also, the whole thing seems a bit too big for comfort, standard model size with bigger screen would be better.

Tony-A4329d ago

The screen size is still a tad smaller than th Vita's? Wow, I guess I never really noticed how insanely large the screen is. (writing this from my Vita) haha

Rolling the Dice: Do Modern RPGs Miss the Point of Team-Based Play?

It seems it was long time ago. A bunch of friends spending hours on end playing RPG games, sitting around the table with the box of cold pizza. Excited about the story, listening to the Game Master, they were completely engaged in the worlds only visible to them and their imaginations.

The GM is the programmer, and in MMOs and co-ops, you can play with others. If you want to ONLY use your imagination for the visuals, read a book.

1) Hope they put it on disc this time.
2) Hope this is a positive for Neptune coming over as well.

Demons Souls5074d ago

If so, that's being developed & published by Idea Factory. Compile Heart has nothing to do with it (Thank God for that).

Godmars2905074d ago (Edited 5074d ago )

Thought Compile Heart was one of the companies lending characters.

Was also speaking in general as in regards to a US of Neptune. If these guys are offing a second game, NIS or Atlus, both of whom offer quirkier titles, will put that one out.

@kagon01:
My issue isn't - wholly - with the DL-only option, but the price. The first game should be $30. Maybe $40, and by that I mean $39.99. The only reason its $45 is the 360 disc version which has extras. Nevermind that by all rights its a PS2 game. Something that proabbly could have been done if the devs had the GOW2 engine or tools.

ClownBelt5074d ago

I approve of this god damn message.

Could have gotten my 60 bucks if they just put it on a disc.

Another exclusive damnn the ps3 keeps on rollin wit games awesome ;)

Jack-Pyro5074d ago

Is this a half decent SRPG, porn aside, cause if it is, i might just decide to go and buy it for the 360.

Anon73495074d ago

There's no porn just some sexual innuendos but that's it.

Also it is a great game by itself, maybe not graphically but everything else is top tier.

RedDevils5074d ago

so it had some kind of "top tier" porn story jk

ThanatosDMC5074d ago

Yup, it's a decent game. I just hate that a move has to go first before any attack options.
