I have both consoles. To be honest, it's hard to choose the perfect one. While the 2ds XL feels like a small pocket friendly console, the New 3ds XL feels like having a modern 3ds console. I want to have the 2ds xl, but my old new 3ds xl is very important to me.
@@MrToon-pk4yl kinda, I just prefer the sturdier hinge it disnt feel like uts about to snap, although if I was buying for a kid I would definitely get the 2ds xl simply because kids will break it no matter what
You actually dont use your palm normally when using a 2ds xl, because it's "small". It sounds like a design flaw on paper, but when you use it irl you realize it is not really an issue.
And the 2ds xl isn’t repair friendly at all. It doesn’t have a battery slot instead the battery is under the entire back shell and has to be pulled off the motherboard. And the shoulder buttons aren’t modular and have to be soldered on if replaced
I’m perfectly content with the 2DSxl I just picked up but I feel bad because I just totally scammed my friend for it. He was like “I’ll sell it to you for $100” and then he showed up with it complete in box. From what I’ve seen they can go for like $200+ complete in box 💀
Maybe he knew and decided to sell it to you less because your his friend.... ever thought that he was just being a good friend? Try thinking positive about it and enjoy your console ;)
@@NsaneHOG did they have the cases and everything? I mean regardless that’s a kickass deal, but with the cases and manuals… WHOOOO! That would be awesome
I actually got the small New 3DS cause I found a MH4U special edition + few games for cheap. I love the customizable plates that I can change once in a while
Most of those plates gave unfortunately become expensive af, but yeah I use my N3DS over my N3DSXL cause of the sharper resolution, though the XL is more comfortable for my hands.
My wife has the N3DSXL, I have the N2DSXL. The more intricate stuff is what has to be done by me anyway, soooooo...I'm good with mine. I absosmurfinlutely *_DESPISE_* having to unscrew the back cover of the N3DSXL just to get to the Micro SD card - and it's a fairly thin piece of plastic that can and will stress & break at the screw holes pretty easily. Meanwhile, aside from the very original 3DS inspired panel that opens to reveal the Micro SD card & the cartridge slot (like the panel on the O3DS that reveals the SD card slot), I like the feel of the N2DSXL, it's actually a similar feel to the O3DS...but with better tech inside and bigger, more badass screens.
I just got myself a New 3DS xl in place of my 2Ds xl. If it were me, I’d go with the new 3DS xl. The screens are the same, but the build quality is THAT much better. It feels so much better in the hands as well.
I have a few 3ds models. I love my lavender new 2ds xl buttttt the build quality does leave a little to be desired as it does feel a little cheaper, but it is lighter so its comfortable for longer hours. I luckily have a dual ips new 3ds xl and its screen is beautiful. However through all of this im leaning towards my dual TN panel new 3ds (non xl) as its light, comfortable, and the matte finish feels amazing.
I have the old 3DS XL and im getting the New 2DS XL for my birthday on October 13th so im really excited to upgrade my handheld experience to something more modern ive had my old 3DS XL for over 7 years now and im ready for a upgrade lol
The new 3ds standard model (non xl) is the best cause changeable face plates it’s smaller so easier to carry around. still as powerful as a regular new V 3ds or new 2ds. And overall just better
True but I don’t even know what the point of using homebrew on anything but the steam deck is anymore. The steam deck is pretty much the ultimate portable for gaming, and this is coming from someone who still uses their 3ds all the time
I remember going to an old game shop, gosh idk 9 years ago and seeing a white old 3ds. Damn it looked clean. Eventually I got one a few years or so later, but it was a 2ds xl. Just. Shame to me that I never got to feel an original
Having the 3D capabilities as an option definitely makes the 3DS still feel worthy especially with the improvements made over the OG models. The 2DS XL is still a really nice and clean system, all things considered. The styluses for either might not be the most ideal though but there's plenty of workarounds you could find! :]
Tbh I’ve been torn on both. I’ve always wanted the new 3DS XL for the modern tech for it. But tbh the new 2DS XL looks wayyy more sleek and tbh over all a lot more modern looking. I honestly didn’t realize how similar these consoles was until watching this video and bc I’m not a fan of the 3D I’ll probably be getting my hands on a new 2DS soon 😎
i have both, the new 3ds xl definitely feels more bulkier and safe to use, whereas the new 2ds xl feels a little flimsy and cheap. the new 3ds xl can commonly run into a paint peeling issue, (especially from the heat of your fingers lifting the wrap off, horrible design choice nintendo.) so if you buy that, please buy a protective shell for it. a clear one would be good if you want to show off your 3ds's colours! for example i have the super pretty orange and black one. the new 2ds xl is definitely cheaper, but i reccommend just saving up that bit extra for a new 3ds xl & a protective shell.
I had a new 3DS XL,2DS XL & a new 3DS the XL is heavier my new 3DS is lighter more compact and what I don't like about the new 2DS XL is that the battery was not made to be replaced by anyone except by a technician whereas every other model 3DS new or old you can easily swap out the battery for a new one
I remember years back I tried the 3DS xl at Target and the 3D stuff hurt my eyes. I don’t imagine ever needing that gimmick anyway. Deciding whether to get a 2DSXL or PSVITA
I have both and I prefer the 2dsxl. I have a thin case on it and its perfect for my hands and love holding it. The n3dsxl is a little to heavy and sharp to hold on to for long periods of time.
@@catburyinthehouse They aren't stretched. 3DS games are designed for both resolutions. Old DS games are upscaled, not stretched, and they look a lot better than the original resolution. And you can literally play them in their original resolution if you want to if you don't mind the empty space being a black void surrounding the game.
Many years ago, I got the 2DS XL thinking it would be the perfect iteration of the console. I hated the sharp edges though and the screen is even wobblier than a 3DS when open. Unpopular opinion maybe, but the best in the series were New 3DS non-XL and the OG 2DS.
The new 3DS XL is amazing but the new 2DS XL is a way easier thing to clean and repair if need be. There seems to be an issue with the screens being flimsey in mine which is annoying but it makes it easier for me to get an upgraded upper screen when i get the chance so i’d say the 2ds xl is preferable. Easy to clean, repair and physically modify.
I kinda like both the New 3ds XL and New 2ds XL. Though I have a old 2DS, my most favorite of them all is the new 2DS XL because it's cheaper like a original old 2DS
I've been using the new 2ds since september 2017 and it's amazing, the only complain I have is that replacing the battery is more difficult than the other 3ds consoles, it's not imposible but still it might damage the console if done incorrectly
I like the 2ds xl better but I use the new 3ds xl because it is a lot more durable. The new 2ds xl is comfortable af. I know how often people say it but I use the 3d just a little bit, it’s pretty fun but overall even with the face tracking it still can’t keep up with me. You’re not missing out on anything if you have a 2ds xl instead of the new 3ds xl, the stupid touch screen on the new 3ds xl sticks out and it makes it super annoying to use the c stick for games that have the option to use it. New 3ds xl -3d -Durability -decent sized stylus 2ds xl -comfort -micro sd card in a good spot -c stick is easier to use -fits in pocket way easier
If you're concerned about the built quality, go for the New 3ds XL or new 3ds, because the bulit quality of the new 2ds XL is very poor if compared to the new 3ds XL, it's like night and day.
I got both, n3ds xl heavier and feels more expensive, n2dsxl is lighter, bit smaller, but feels cheaper. N2ds xls trigger buttons feel imo comfier than the 3dsxl triggers. No annoying flap on the 3dsxl but you cant easily access the sd card slot without removing the backplate
The 3D is better in my opinion. I have an old 3DS XL and sometimes whenever I play 3DS games, I turn the 3D all the way up and it surprisingly doesn’t even hurt my eyes. But in my opinion again, the New 3DS XL is better bc I feel like there’s better color and design choices that you could buy
The 2ds xl is more comfortable, because it's lighter and it doesn't have that bump on the lower screen that's gets in the way of my massive thumbs. And the home button and sd card are easier to access and has a cover, not to mention it looks more modern, but the system itself does feel cheap.
Imo, the 2DS XL looks cool but, it feels very cheap. If you want more of a premium feel, go with the 3DS XL. They’re basically the same price these days between $250-$300
Only downside to the 2ds is not having an attachment for a second joystick. The nub it has is okay but for some games (mgs3 in my opinion) it can be hard to control. The 3ds has an attachment that clips on and adds a joystick. Outside of that, I prefer the 2ds
I personally prefer the New 2DS XL. Both because I love how it looks but also because I have absolutely terrible joints. My wrists will start killing me after long gaming sessions on my Switch or 3DS XL, I don't get that problem on 2DS XL since it's so much lighter 🥰
personally, I think for most people the 2ds xl is the better choice, as it is practically only lacking 3d, which isn't used by a lot of games and is not even too important in the ones that do use it
Personally, I find that the 2DS XL feels slightly cheaper. Most notably, a crack or two will eventually show up above the bottom screen due to the way the hinge is designed on that model.
New 3ds xl seems more fine if you see what I mean, the colours buttons, the perfect Finish, I’m not hating on 2ds I’m saying the new 3ds xlwill be worth more in the decade
This is the equivalent to Nintendo switch oled or Nintendo switch lite on one hand the light is smaller and cheaper (with a few drawbacks) and on the other hand the oled has removable joycons a little bigger (which means bigger screen) but more expensive
3ds xl looks better in my opinion, plus there are some pretty cool editions. But there is also that super duper sick looking zelda edition for the 2ds xl so I think it really is up to preference
We have several 3DS consoles, including my New 3DS XL (dual ips 😎) and my Pokéball New 2DS XL. Sadly the materials used in thr latter feel much cheaper and flimsy, even if it looks amazing.
Like think about it like a 3DS it’s so much cooler than a 2DS because 3-D is just so cool without needing glasses Games on Nintendo switch are 3-D but having the 3DS screen projecting the 3-D games you play it’s just so cool. I find.
I bought 2dsxl and my friend got a 3dsxl for his birthday and trying both, I like the 2dsxl more because it was cheaper, the 3d hurts my brain after a minute, and I like holding the thinner version.
Ik this is 2 years late but personally I would go for the 3ds xl, the 2ds xl feels too thin and I’m constantly worried about breaking it since my old one broke easily

New 3ds xl seems more fine if you see what I mean, the colours buttons, the perfect Finish, I’m not hating on 2ds I’m saying the new 3ds xlwill be worth more in the decade
I hope , can upgrade the regular 3ds to new
This is the equivalent to Nintendo switch oled or Nintendo switch lite on one hand the light is smaller and cheaper (with a few drawbacks) and on the other hand the oled has removable joycons a little bigger (which means bigger screen) but more expensive
Wait they bringing them back LETSS GOO
No they're not?
Nope
@@LadyPuddyCat noooo😭 I got mine charged
@@TheSooperFlip I even charged mine so we could play again
He actually made a good video for once
3ds xl looks better in my opinion, plus there are some pretty cool editions. But there is also that super duper sick looking zelda edition for the 2ds xl so I think it really is up to preference
I wish the 3ds was as comfortable as the 2ds to hold.
they could've made the top screen for the 2ds bigger then the 3ds since it would have more room, but where are the speakers on the 2ds?
We have several 3DS consoles, including my New 3DS XL (dual ips 😎) and my Pokéball New 2DS XL. Sadly the materials used in thr latter feel much cheaper and flimsy, even if it looks amazing.
I just don’t like how the 2Ds looks like 2 phones attached together
Like think about it like a 3DS it’s so much cooler than a 2DS because 3-D is just so cool without needing glasses Games on Nintendo switch are 3-D but having the 3DS screen projecting the 3-D games you play it’s just so cool. I find.
I bought 2dsxl and my friend got a 3dsxl for his birthday and trying both, I like the 2dsxl more because it was cheaper, the 3d hurts my brain after a minute, and I like holding the thinner version.
hello, do you know as a new 2ds xl owner if it can take videos ?
@@batystesober it does take videos. It also take stop-motion videos.
@@dankali735 thanks a lot for the answer
Ik this is 2 years late but personally I would go for the 3ds xl, the 2ds xl feels too thin and I’m constantly worried about breaking it since my old one broke easily
But like the guy said it just depends on your personal preference
I really like the 2ds xl, the 3d effect is a little gimmicky. But in my country the 2ds is pretty rare and is like 2x the price of a 3ds
