Compared with the earlier 3DS XL, it has a faster processor, a small C-Stick above the face buttons, and ZL and ZR buttons beside the shoulder triggers. Its 3D uses the front camera to track your face, so the effect holds steadier when you shift your head or the system. The bottom screen doubles as an NFC reader for amiibo figures and cards. Many games load faster, and some, like Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS, map extra controls to the C-Stick.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003c!-- rgm:story --\u003e\u003csection class=\"rgm-v2-story\"\u003e\u003ch2\u003eGames that need New 3DS hardware\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA small group of games runs only on the New 3DS family, including Xenoblade Chronicles 3D, Minecraft: New Nintendo 3DS Edition and Fire Emblem Warriors. Everything else in the 3DS library works as well, from Pokemon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon to Monster Hunter Generations and Fire Emblem Echoes: Shadows of Valentia, and DS game cards play in 2D. Storage moved to a microSD card that sits under the back cover, which is held on by two small screws. There is no Game Boy Advance slot, so GBA cartridges are not supported.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003c!-- rgm:story --\u003e\u003csection class=\"rgm-v2-story\"\u003e\u003ch2\u003eLooking over a used New 3DS XL\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe New 3DS XL arrived late in the 3DS era, and many units have seen years of daily use since. Wear shows up most on the hinge, the Circle Pad and the screens, which can pick up marks where they touch when closed. Charging uses the standard 3DS, 2DS and DSi style AC adapter. This listing covers the handheld itself, so a stylus, microSD card, charger, games and box come only if the title names them, and the photo is representative.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003c!-- rgm:details --\u003e\u003csection class=\"rgm-v2-facts\"\u003e\u003ch2\u003eProduct facts\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eHardware\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNew Nintendo 3DS XL\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003ePlatform\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNintendo 3DS\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eType\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHandheld console\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003ePlays\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e3DS, New 3DS-only and Nintendo DS game cards\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eConnections\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCharges with a Nintendo 3DS, 2DS or DSi AC adapter\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eStorage\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003emicroSD card under the back cover\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eUS launch\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2015\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003csection class=\"rgm-v2-faq\"\u003e\u003ch2\u003eQuestions about this item\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdetails\u003e\u003csummary\u003eDoes the New 3DS XL play regular 3DS and DS games?\u003c\/summary\u003e\u003cp\u003eYes. It plays standard 3DS cards, New 3DS-only titles and Nintendo DS cards. 3DS games are region-locked, so a North American system plays North American 3DS cards, while DS cards are region-free.
