Nintendo New 3DS XL - Super NES Edition + Super Mario Kart for SNES

I've had the original 3ds since it first came out, and I've been hesitant to upgrade because screen size isn't as important to me as it is to others. I decided to upgrade to a new 3ds xl in the waning days of the system because I've been wanting to play the new Smash Bros. and received a gift card for Christmas. When I saw that this nostalgic snes edition had been released, I decided to buy it. I'm glad I took the opportunity. To begin with: br>br> a display After reading into the whole IPS vs TN screen debate, a lot of these reviewers made me seriously doubt my purchase. I have to say, after receiving it, I'm not sure what all the fuss is about. I'm not sure if it's because I'm coming from an original 3ds, but the picture quality is excellent. It appears to be a huge step forward. Second, this system is absolutely stunning. The photos don't do it justice; it's much nicer in person, and the satin finish is less likely to attract fingerprints. I was torn between this system and the black one as an older gamer who adored the SNES. I knew I'd made the right decision the moment I opened the box. br>br>Because this is my first time using the new 3ds xl, I have to commend the build quality. It's heavy enough to feel substantial without being overbearing. The hinge is sturdy and snaps into place with a satisfying click in a variety of positions. The face- The tracking and steady 3d feature is a fantastic addition! The bottom-mounted cartridge slot and stylus are a welcome and long-overdue improvement. So maybe I'm a senior citizen. br>br> So perhaps I'm not as concerned about the TN vs IPS debate as I should be. jumbo. All I know is that I've had a 3ds for years and am overjoyed with this upgrade. I'm excited to put some money into the eShop and go rummaging for old Nintendo DS games.

Because the Super Nintendo Entertainment System is my all-time favorite video game console - This was something I was really looking forward to. It appears to be in excellent cosmetic condition - However, the screens are both TN displays, and since I already own a black New 3DS XL with dual IPS display screens, I can't justify spending $200 on something I don't require. The first three images show the SNES version with TN screens (left) versus the black 3DS with IPS screens. The SNES version (left), black with IPS (middle), and galaxy version with TN screens (right) are shown in the last image. The black on IPS screens has a deeper color palette and does not wash out when tilted. Unfortunately, based on what I've read, it appears that there is no way to determine which display Nintendo used. Anyone who is accustomed to IPS displays will most likely be disappointed by the difference. Aside from that, it looks fantastic (much better than the Galaxy version, which has a large sticker). It's ideal for any SNES fan if you don't care about the IPS vs TN display. EDIT: br>br> I'm giving it a 5 star rating. I still believe that these screens are inferior to IPS displays in terms of aesthetics - However, because they are brighter, those of us who are a little older and have to turn our phone screens and other displays up to full brightness to see them may be better off with TN displays. I do have some SNES Virtual Console games downloaded that are already very dim on the 3DS, so any brightness helps, and the screen looks fine when compared to an IPS screen. In addition, the hinges are far superior to those on my current 3DS, and I adore the design.

First and foremost, I received this on November 24th, which was incredible service from Amazon! Anyway, this SNES edition is stunning! It resembles the top of the SNES system when fully opened and flipped over. The gray and lavender buttons remind me of my favorite gaming days when it's opened and ready to play! The system is packaged in a box that looks and feels like a brand new SNES game. REMEMBER TO PURCHASE A SHELL CASE AND A SCREEN PROTECTOR! You want this system to look good for a long time! br>br>Now for my opinions on the positive and negative aspects. Good: br>br> br>It's stunning. The colors are perfect, and any SNES fan from the early 1990s will drool over the system's appearance! I did! br>The quality of Nintendo's products has always astounded me! Whether it's your first or tenth 3DS, you'll enjoy it! br>A free download code for SNES Mario Kart is included, which is fantastic. br>br>Contrary to popular belief, NOTHINGbr>Some people complain about the lack of a power plug, but one can be purchased for less than $8 on Amazon. Purchase the Amazon bundle.
