I don't wanna go overboard and squee but ermagherd I love the 3DS XL so much. I've only played 2 of my 6 games, mostly Animal Crossing: New Leaf, and I am completely happy with it. The 3D blows my mind, the interface is nice and quick and un-WiiU-like despite looking similar. Super Mario 3D Land is great too. To top it all off, the library of games available for it is incredible (IF you like RPGs)... I've got FF3, Dragon Quest IX, Golden Sun: Dark Dawn, and there's a ton more when I finish those. They even got the Chronic Triggah. So there's my endorsement, I like the thinger.
And I'm super excited for Pokemon X.
