Pros & Cons

Pros

There aren't too many franchises where i would just splurge like this. This handheld is a testament of it. There are a few good boss fights that really challenge you.

If you're an adult collector and gamer who won't put this thing in his pocket or take it everywhere anyway, then the bump in quality materials and the beautiful samus armor design is well worth the extra 50. Don't forget to purchase the nintendo * scr...  Read More

Everything about this two-tone 3ds xl screams premium. The red goes so well with the dark yellow (or green, im colorblind) proud to own this over the plain grey version.

The screwattack logo on the back makes up for samus being upsidown when the console is flipped up. The screen is a nice size and it's great to get a samus-themed ds!

If you're jnto the whole ips screen vs tn screens i'm fairly certain i have dual tn. The system itself is pretty cool for a kid that grew up in the 80-90s overpaying to play hologram games at the arcades.



Cons

I'm a die hard metroid fannintendo do more metroid and you can take my moneyexcept for other m it was an abortion

Packaging/appearance


So beautiful it arrived on time best looking 3ds ever


There's not much to say other that this new nintendo 3ds looks incredible.

Competitiveness


I'm not a huge metroid guy; the last one i played was super metroid back on the snes, so i can't really compare it to previous titles.


You can do a harder difficulty or try to beat it faster, so i guess to some that can be a big deal.

    Its really not the biggest deal though and i have come to expect it from nintendo at this point


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    I chose this over the 2ds xl as i felt that the 2ds looked much more flimsy and definitely much less aesthetically pleasing


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    For 50 i think it is worth the better build quality and appearance and id prefer to keep the 3d functionality even if i dont use it regularly

    I am migrating from the original 3ds xl zelda edition and wanted something just as memorable
