Nintendo 3DS XL
© 2012 Nintendo of America
See the "New Nintendo 3DS XL" (CTR Feb 15). The jumbo sized $200 3DS is the top-of-the-line portable Nintendo system. While it doesn't do anything different than the now two year old 3DS, it does everything better, with slightly better batteries and bigger screens that look noticeably better. New for 2014: Lots of frosting, that includes themed bundles that includes special art and select software. Included in the box: 6 AR cards, a stylus, a 4 GB SD card and an AC adapter. The folding clamshell design makes the 3DS nearly indestructible.
