Curtis got the North American version of the New 3DS XL! How does he like it?

Nintendo held a press event in San Francisco this past Wednesday, and much to the surprise of everyone who attended, they gave away the final retail release of the New Nintendo 3DS XL. After a few days of messing around with it, Curtis has some positive and negative thoughts of the hardware. Check out his impressions in the video below.

Well isn't this my Irish luck. I literally, on Jan. 11th!, bought the 3DS XL. And now i can't stop wondering if its worth it to take it back and wait for the new one to come out (of course its not, i need to play now). I've purchased a ton of games and can't stop playing Ocarina of time in 3-dizzle. The depth is amazing and I love it so. I'm almost pretty sure I already think i'm not going to return the system. So in your mind (anyone who's reading, i'm kind new here), is it worth selling it and buying the new one when it comes out? I'm thinking losing 80 on it would be the max; but that's only if the c-stick and follow cam are insane. Curtis did talk about how it wasn't perfect so, i'm not completely sold. I'm okay to lose 40 if the new features are just okay. What does anyone think? And admins, thanks for the community, I like what I see so far.
Take Care,
ManiacBRND

If you're gonna trade it in wait till you get the New 3DS. That way you can transfer the data you've got on your current one to the new one. My circle pad isn't working right anymore on my current 3DS and I am waiting for the New 3DS to come out so I can transfer all my data to it.

Curtis, will it play my DS games or did they gut that like they gutted GameCube support from the later iteration of Wii?

Hey, I was just wondering if you know whether or not dsi games will finally work on the sd card? I haven't transferred all my dsi games to my 3ds because they wouldn't all fit and I don't like having to delete games. If not, do you know how much internal storage space (blocks) are available to use?
