      Nope

        Yep checked. That was enough to convince me to go the 2ds XL!

        Another $15 less than the 3DS XL.

        • Owgasm on 13/12/2018 - 12:08

          Sold haha. I was on the fence. Sold for the charger I’ll never open and use anyways

    Bought the 3DS XL for $169 last sale. Gonna buy this and return the old order with the new console. #ozbargain

    • [Deactivated] on 13/12/2018 - 11:53

      Does amazon have price guarantee policy…

      • chromesphere on 13/12/2018 - 12:35

        Yeah, i did the same thing. I dont think they do, i checked and on return it asks for a reason "found cheaper price somewhere else". Please tell us where you found the cheaper price "amazon". hah. Would be easier for them just to offer a price guarantee…

    • TheOneWhoKnocks on 13/12/2018 - 16:31

      Why the neg anon?

  • Kazzycaboodles on 13/12/2018 - 11:30

      Super Mario 3D Land, Fire Emblem Awakening, Metroid: Samus Returns, The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds and Donkey Kong Country Returns - should be enough to get you started.

      • chemical-miracle on 13/12/2018 - 11:41

        A few of these are Nintendo selects and on sale for $25 at Big W, well worth it!

    • yav on 13/12/2018 - 11:39

      I didn't need one but I ended up buying two..

      standard nintendo first party games, marios,zelda's,mario karts, pokemon and such, fire emblem rpgs, monster hunter games, bravely default games, Professor Layton , phenix wright games, xenoblade

      pretty much if you enjoy anything nintendo franchise related or RPG's you'll have a good time

    • freakatronic on 13/12/2018 - 12:01

      Nor mentioned - Luigi's Mansion, Smash Bros, Mario Kart 7.

    • Alphaeus on 13/12/2018 - 14:10

      Metacritic is a good resource for finding great games for a system. Here are some rankings of the best 3DS titles according to industry critics and metacritic users. Anything near the top of either list can be considered worth your time, particularly if you're a fan of the genre.

      There are lots of great download-only titles too. I recommend both LoZ Oracle of Ages/Oracle of Seasons games and Pokemon Puzzle Challenge, which is a portable remake of Tetris Attack, including the thoroughly excellent puzzle mode levels.

  • timcc0208 on 13/12/2018 - 11:34

    THANKS OP

  • Fishdog on 13/12/2018 - 11:36

      I bought a blue secondhand one for $70 a few weeks back. Mod it and have a 128GB MicroSD card in it for Homebrew. Great little device!!

      They can play DS games.

      If you've bought the 2ds, the price goes back up for your account

      • Wiede on 13/12/2018 - 12:03

        that make sense, anyway it is 99% claimed now

  • dealsucker on 13/12/2018 - 11:38

    Is the 3D XL the latest version of the 3D XL?

    PSA: The 2DS XL does include a charger, whereas the 3DS XL does not.

  • DASHCAM NOW DUDE on 13/12/2018 - 11:38

    Hold on people! It's cheap but the games are expensive and I bet you all have Switches already!

    Expensive paper weight!

      cough, cfw, cough…

    • southaussiewithcosi on 13/12/2018 - 11:40

      You can't shove a switch in your pocket. Plus there are a lot of DS games out there which aren't on the 3DS.

      • spedohero on 13/12/2018 - 11:45

        You can run ds games on 3ds.

            @Wiede: Switch homebrew.

            • Wiede on 13/12/2018 - 15:49

              @Duram: There is no official SNES emulator for Switch?

        • ajd4096 on 13/12/2018 - 14:16

          And GBA games, via injection.

      • neonlight on 13/12/2018 - 12:46

        Doesn't matter for me. I got 2 x DS lite still working. 3DS XL and Switch. At the worst case there's emulator on Android anyway for DS

    • caprimulgus on 13/12/2018 - 11:48

      I bought my N3DS XL after my Switch. It's great for extra portability and times where I prefer not to carry my Switch.

      And it has an extensive back catalogue - I actually bought it to play emulators on, but I havent even got around to that because there are so many 3DS games to play!

      For me, the 2DS/3DS XL is a great complement for the Switch!

    • hey aj on 13/12/2018 - 12:20

      I have a Switch already and don't play it nearly enough… must resist.

  • eswes on 13/12/2018 - 11:39

    Thank you OP!

  • offthecliff on 13/12/2018 - 11:39

    Thanks OP, my 3rd DS from Amazon in under 30 days.

  • PLA74 on 13/12/2018 - 11:41

    Anyone know which firmware version (11.3.0-36 or lower) the 3DS XL would come with?

    • eagerfisherman on 13/12/2018 - 11:50
      +3

      If you're asking for CFW, just update to 11.9.0 (latest) and hack that. No need to stay on lower.

      But don't dilly dally, if 12.0.0 comes out before you update, you're back to screwed.

      Edit: FYI, all these consoles are probably at least 11.4.0. The PokeBall is 11.5+

      • caprimulgus on 13/12/2018 - 11:53

        If we have CFW on 11.6.0, is there a way/need to update to 11.9.0?

        • eagerfisherman on 13/12/2018 - 12:17

          You already have CFW installed? Did you do it yourself? Cause that method needs a flashcart.

          Probably best to leave your system as-is if you didn't do it yourself.

          • caprimulgus on 13/12/2018 - 12:28

            @eagerfisherman: I have two N3DS XL actually: one of them, yes I installed CFW myself using a flashcart (the other one, unknowingly, already had CFW pre-installed).

            So yes, I have installed CFW myself. But I have never updated the firmware on CFW before, because 11.6.0 was the latest firmware at the time I installed CFW, and I didnt realise there had been more recent firmwares released.

            What I am asking is whether there is a need to update the underlying official firmware (eg. for new release game compatibility), or whether that is pointless, and I just need to update the CFW itself.

            • eagerfisherman on 15/12/2018 - 18:01
              +1

              @caprimulgus: Oh I see, no there is no need to update your system OS.

              All games currently work with 11.6.

              11.9 is known hacked, Nintendo won't bother to have that be required for a new game, they will likely require 12.0 or whatever.

      • k3nnis on 13/12/2018 - 12:00

        Can the 2ds use cfw? Same process as 3ds?

        • Forphucsake on 13/12/2018 - 12:06

          Exactly the same. Even when opening settings on the 2ds, the 3ds splash screen comes up.

          • k3nnis on 13/12/2018 - 12:12

            @Forphucsake: Great thanks. I bought the 2dsxl. Hope I made the right decision. Or should I also buy a 3ds lol. Is the speed and graphics the same? And build quality.

            • ozdesi on 13/12/2018 - 12:14

              @k3nnis: relax, there is just one dimension missing rest is same

              • k3nnis on 13/12/2018 - 12:31

                @ozdesi: Ok thanks :)

              • G Wok on 13/12/2018 - 12:32

                @ozdesi: Possible to DIY without buying anything extra like a flashcart?

      • PLA74 on 13/12/2018 - 13:02

        Awesome, thanks buddy!

  • Gazpacho on 13/12/2018 - 11:41

    How much is the official charger for the New 3DS and where can I get it from besides Amazon?

    • RichardL on 13/12/2018 - 11:52

      You can pick up from most major retailers for ~$15 (same as Amazon AU).

      Alternately you can pick up USB Cables from eBay, etc and just use a standard USB Charger to charge your 2DS/3DS.

      • neonlight on 13/12/2018 - 12:47

        The original charger charges faster than USB cable though

      • Gazpacho on 13/12/2018 - 13:38

        Thank you!

  • lyl-Lychee on 13/12/2018 - 11:41

  • k3nnis on 13/12/2018 - 11:41

    are both hackable? :)
    also should i get 2dsxl or 3dsxl???

    • cyrax83 on 13/12/2018 - 11:44

      Both are good

    • namgib on 13/12/2018 - 11:59

      Yes and 3D is normally a novelty and then turned off, hence the 2DSXL.

  • cyrax83 on 13/12/2018 - 11:42

    Interesting to see the 2DS XL outselling the 3DS XL

    I suspect the pokeball pikachu is hot property

    • sywater on 13/12/2018 - 11:46

      why? Most people turn off 3D anyway.

      • cyrax83 on 13/12/2018 - 11:47

    • em on 13/12/2018 - 11:48

      It's cheaper, many people turn off 3D anyway (I know I did) and it comes with a charger.

      • pharcyde on 13/12/2018 - 12:15

    If I'm literally buying this for Ocarina of Time, any suggestions as to whether 2d or 3d version is better? Probably won't use 3d much I suspect

    • thord on 13/12/2018 - 11:48

      3D is better IMO, I k know lots of people turn it off, but it's literally the point of these consoles and the games to use the 3D feature. I use it for hours without issue.

    • Merlict on 13/12/2018 - 11:48

      The New models have much nicer 3d than in the past, I'd pay the extra.

    • musicinbed69 on 13/12/2018 - 11:52

      The 3d is amazing for ocarina of time. never played it on a 2d screen so idk how it looks on that, obv not as good though. viewing 2D on a 3ds gives everything weird scanlines.

      • krazek on 13/12/2018 - 13:31

        Thanks all, although I decided on the 2ds xl despite the suggestions, mainly because I am concerned that the 3d effect will give me headaches with my dodgy eyes… I'm sure Ocarina of Time will still be great in 2d!
