#NINTENDO 3DS XL POKEMON EDITION SOFTWARE#
The hardware wireless switch was also replaced by a software toggle. The system's game card slot, stylus holder, and power button were re-located to the base. īoth systems' bodies are slightly larger than their previous iterations, with the XL variant weighing slightly less than the previous 3DS XL. The sensor is also used as an ambient light sensor for automatic brightness adjustment. A new feature known as "Super Stable 3D" improves the quality of the systems' autostereoscopic 3D effects by using a sensor to detect the angle that the player is viewing the screen at, and adjusting the effects to compensate. Nintendo has also not publicly addressed the discrepancies in production. There is no known correlation between model number or production date and display type. Some models are produced with an IPS screen for the upper display, but some still retain the old TN screen for upper display. The New Nintendo 3DS's screen is 1.2 times the size of the original Nintendo 3DS, while the screen of the XL variant is the same size as its predecessor. The systems feature a slightly refined design, featuring colored face buttons resembling the Super Famicom's and PAL version Super Nintendo Entertainment System's color scheme. The New Nintendo 3DS family features various changes from prior models. The XL model remained in production until July 2019, when production ceased and it was removed from their website. In the July 2017 lead-up to the release of the New Nintendo 2DS XL, Nintendo confirmed that production on the standard-sized New Nintendo 3DS in Japan had ended.

The New Nintendo 3DS received positive reviews from critics although criticized for certain aspects of their design (such as the microSD slot placement), the consoles were praised for their improved performance, additional control options, and better 3D image quality. Improvements upon the previous models include upgraded processors and increased RAM, an analog pointing stick (C-Stick), two additional shoulder triggers (ZR and ZL), face detection for optimizing the autostereoscopic 3D display, an included 4 GB microSD card and built-in NFC, as well as minor design changes (such as colored face buttons, and the availability of face plates for the smaller-size model). In North America, the New Nintendo 3DS XL was released on February 13, 2015, while the standard-sized New Nintendo 3DS was released later on September 25, 2015. Like the original 3DS, the New Nintendo 3DS also has a larger variant, the New Nintendo 3DS XL, released in all three regions.

The system was released in Japan on October 11, 2014, in Australia and New Zealand on November 21, 2014, on Januin Europe in a special Club Nintendo-exclusive "Ambassador Edition", and at retail in Europe on February 13, 2015. It is the fourth system in the Nintendo 3DS family of handheld consoles, following the original Nintendo 3DS, Nintendo 3DS XL, and Nintendo 2DS. The New Nintendo 3DS is a handheld game console produced by Nintendo.
