What's Changed in Eleven Years? Eleven years. That's how long it has been since I last owned a Nintendo decice. That decice was the original Nintendo DS, which was released in late 2004. So, how much has Nintendo's handheld console changed? The New 3DS XL: First Impressions In all honesty, for a long time I had lost some interest in Nintendo's handheld consoles. The only things that kept my interest were the Pokemon games. I have had the New 3DS XL for the past few days. So far, I am enjoying it, a lot. Using the New 3DS XL, I have really been enjoying the larger screen size, and much improved graphics. Now, when I say much improved, I do mean on select games. For example, the change in graphics from the Pokemon games for Nintendo DS to the Pokemon games for the New 3DS were far greater (in my opinion); than the changes from the GameBoy Advance games to the Nintendo DS games. Some games, such as the Super Mario games, didn't see as drastic of a change in graphics quality. Another big change from the DS to Nintendo's current handhelds, is the online capabilities. The DS line did not get Wi-Fi capabilities until almost a full year after it's original release; and even then you needed an external device to use it. The New 3DS XL, however, has a broad range of uses for its online functions. Everything from; online multiplayer gaming, exchange in-game item, and even watching YouTube videos on your console. As I said earlier, I have only been using the 3DS for the past few days. So I will be posting a full review at a later time.
What are your thoughts on Nintendo's latest handheld console? Do you think they've made changes worthy of an upgrade?
