The 3D screens are improved by new face-tracking, and the larger size offers a less cramped viewing experience. Internal tweaks and updates add a behind-the-scenes boost
The poor battery life hasn't improved. Having to remove the back of the console to change the SD card is a poor design choice and the legacy data transfer process is infuriating. Also, there's no AC charger in the box -- you have to buy one separately
The massively improved 3D more than makes up for a relatively small list of updates and some frustrating design choices....

Abstract: The New 3DS XL features a second stick about the face buttons, a hint of colour and a refined layout.While previously any movement of your head or the system would cause uncomfortable blurring or a complete loss of the effect, the new tech uses facial rec...
Incredible game library, Much improved 3D, Faster processor is great,
Nintendo's online system needs work, Interface still a little clunky, Awful camera,

Abstract: The New 3DS might not look much different from its predecessor at first glance, but it's a combination of several small hardware changes that makes this hand-held gaming console everything the original 3DS should have been. We explain in our New 3DS...
Excellent glasses-free 3D, New guts theoretically promise more technically impressive games, Existing 3DS catalog enhanced by new improvements
No proprietary cord for charging out of the box included, Extra tools required to swap storage cards, Convoluted system transfer process from older models

The 3D is a bit better, Speedier processor for a slightly slicker experience, Enhanced build and layout, Great games
Still dated in terms of tech, New 3D isn't perfect, Charger isn't included. Seriously
The hardcore, regular 3DS player will definitely appreciate the differences The New Nintendo 3DS XL isn't a dramatic upgrade over the standard 3DS XL model, but it's not meant to be – it's the half-generation improvement, and in that regard, it shows val...
