The Nintendo 3DS XL: The Kotaku Review

Kotaku- Who are you? Are you a person who has a 3DS? You should think about upgrading to the 3DS XL. Are you a person who does not have a 3DS at all? You should get one.

The $200 3DS XL is a very good gaming machine, possibly the best portable gaming device ever, which, yeah, maybe we said about February's PlayStation Vita, but back then we'd have only been talking about a piece of hardware and its gaming potential. The 3DS XL isn't just full of potential. It's a well-designed machine that plays an absurdly rich array of excellent video games.

I swear Kotaku is getting worst every time the release an article.

Good review, thanks for some interesting facts and comparisons. I agree that the 3DS has a good library and will probably finish strong like the DS. I also agree that the 3DS is one of the best handhelds to date.

DivineAssault 4290d ago

they prolly got a free one in exchange for good feedback.. not that its a bad machine but i doubt its worth the $200 price, especially in the uk where u dont get a charge dock or cradle

YoungPlex4290d ago (Edited 4290d ago )

You would be right but the sales paint a different story; but hey who cares right? Sales mean nothing except the fact that every sale counts for an individual that chose to purchase a 3DSXL, and boy are sales going super strong. Basically, your doubts mean nothing! They're clearly stating that it is indeed worth it to buy one or upgrade; but hey, who are they right? You have thousands of people following you and have a giant website giving the daily news and reviews right...?

Either way, people are rushing to get it in EU, UK and Japan, and this Sunday it will do so in the US regardless of what you or anyone else thinks.

ya cuz its the best handheld ever made.. Best library of games & features.. Vitas time is coming this year tho.. Then after the price drop, itl start moving units.. Dont matter either way cuz i have both so whatever games come out that i wanna play, ill get.. last year- present was 3ds time.. The rest of this year forward is vitas...

Smokingunz4290d ago

So the only good thing about the 3ds xl is its screen? It's stupid how Nintendo didn't include a second analog and a much higher resolution! Just stupid! And they charge u an extra $30 for the bigger screen.

I hope Nintendo brings back the gameboy that has a nice 4 inch + multi touch touch screen with ps3 like gfx.

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 Souls5091d ago

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

Godmars2905091d ago (Edited 5091d 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.

ClownBelt5091d 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-Pyro5091d 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.

Anon73495091d 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.

RedDevils5091d ago

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

ThanatosDMC5091d ago

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