I'm getting my new Nintendo 3DS XL Majora's Mask edition delivered on Friday & I wondered what size micro SD card people have to consider what size best to get?
i use 32GB, should be enough for 20 games more or less. if you only buy retail, you might as well just get 8GB. 32 and even 16 is slightly overkill unless you take a ton of pictures(several thousands)
A 32GB card is only about $5 more than a 16GB, might as well go with the bigger one especially since changing the card in the New 3DS is a bit of a pain.
Only because its cheaper doesnt mean that is better. For example for me speed is much more important than size. So if i got the choice between a 32GB slow micro card and a 16 or even 8GB fast micro card i take the latter ones
Currently im tinkering if i should get a 8 or 16 one ^^

Yep, but it seems that New 3DS is not as fast as the fastest cards, for some Youtube videos I've watched.
I really don't like the navigation bar of Nintendo Life continuously reappearing while browsing!!

Mind to post some of those videos ? Would you recommend class 10 or class 6 cards ? I read there is a big difference in sequential toward random write speeds. What i grasped is the higher the class the better the sequential performance, but then the random performance gets worse ...

That's probably true. Anyway, keep in mind that your system is going to randomly read the SD card most of the time (you want to play Luigi's Mansion which is here in the card, then you want to play Fire Emblem which is there in the card...). The system will read all the content every time you switch it on to show you the games you have. It will only write when you buy and download a game so I wouldn't pay much attention to writing speeds.
I'll try to find the video and post it here.

I went with a fast 32GB card that Best Buy had on sale for $20. I got it before the New 3DS XL came out and transfered all my stuff over to it. Once I got the new console I did the file transfer and it took about 10 minutes total since there is an option to move a Micro SD card over to the new console if you are using one in an adapter on an older system.
