Nintendo 3DS XL Unveiled

Another year, another handheld and this time it is Ninty, up to their old tricks and releasing yet another model of an existing handheld.  This time it is the 3DS that is, perhaps unsurprisingly, getting the XL treatment.  The publishing giant has recently unveiled the new handheld that boasts a 90 per cent bigger screen than the existing model, and gamers will be able to wring between five to eight hours out of the battery this time around.  The unit will also be shipping with a 4GB SD card, although if you want an AC adaptor or charging cradle, you’ll be buying these separately.

The Nintendo 3DS XL will see a European release on 28th July.
