Nintendo of America confirmed that the XL-sized Nintendo 3DS
will be coming to North America this summer. Reggie Fils-Aime, president of Nintendo of America,
confirmed the August 19th launch date during a Nintendo Direct presentation.
The new system hits the same day as 3DS gameNew Super Mario Bros. 2.
The Nintendo 3DS XL will be priced at $199.99 and will include
a 4GB memory card.
In Europe, the Nintendo 3DS XL will start shipping on July
28 alongside the launch ofNew Art Academy.
In North America, it appears the system will come in two
color variations, blue and red.
In Europe, players will also have the option to purchase a
silver 3DS XL.
The 3DS XL will boast a new 4.88 inch stereoscopic 3D
display screen, an increase from the 3.53 inch screen in the current Nintendo
3DS model. The system's secondary display, the touchscreen, will also see a
size increase from 3 inches to 4.18 inches.
The new system will also boast extended battery life.
Nintendo estimates that the 3DS XL will offer 3.5 to 6.5 hours of play time
with 3DS titles, six to ten hours when playing DS titles.
Nintendo of America reps tell Polygon that the 3DS XL will
come with an AC adapter included, unlike its Japanese counterpart. The new
package will not include an XL-sized charging cradle, however.
