For Pokemon X and Y, Animal Crossing: New Leaf or Fire Emblem Awakening, it is a comfortable way to play.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"rgm-condition-note\"\u003eImages are representative.

The top screen measures 4.88 inches and still shows stereoscopic 3D without glasses, adjusted with the 3D depth slider beside it. The bottom touch screen grew as well, which makes games like Animal Crossing: New Leaf and Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon easier on the eyes. The Circle Pad, Home button and SD card slot work the same as on the smaller model, and the larger body is easier to hold for long sessions.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003c!-- rgm:story --\u003e\u003csection class=\"rgm-v2-story\"\u003e\u003ch2\u003e3DS, DS and what the XL does not play\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEvery standard 3DS game card runs on the 3DS XL, from Super Mario 3D Land and The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds to Kid Icarus: Uprising. It also plays Nintendo DS game cards in 2D. The handful of games built for the later New 3DS hardware, such as Xenoblade Chronicles 3D and Minecraft: New Nintendo 3DS Edition, will not run on it, and there is no slot for Game Boy Advance cartridges. The system has outer cameras for 3D photos, StreetPass for swapping data with other 3DS owners nearby, and a stylus holder on the right side.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003c!-- rgm:story --\u003e\u003csection class=\"rgm-v2-story\"\u003e\u003ch2\u003eChecking a pre-owned 3DS XL\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOn any used 3DS XL, the hinge, the Circle Pad and the shoulder buttons get the most wear, and the screens can pick up marks where they meet when closed. Charging uses the same AC adapter as the DSi, 2DS and New 3DS family. The listing covers the handheld itself, so the stylus, SD card, charger and any games vary by unit and come only if the title names them. Photos show a representative 3DS XL, not the exact unit that ships.\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\u003eNintendo 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\u003eNintendo 3DS 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\"\u003eUS launch\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2012\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\u003eWill 3DS games from another country work on it?\u003c\/summary\u003e\u003cp\u003e3DS games are region-locked, so a North American 3DS XL plays North American 3DS cards.
