I've not played any 3ds since the XL was announced, now its here i'm going to finish resident evil.

It is compelling as the new super mario bros will not run on a 3ds small. Nintendo have confirmed this today.

Only joking ...... take a deep breath!!

will be a good couple of days for street pass hits..... maybe finish some of the puzzle pannels

I did a system transfer last week, no problems what so ever, but it did take about 40 mins.

If they go software only, they wont be able to take the p**s and make us buy optional extras like chargers for there handhelds!!

I've been saying this for a long time, the wii u will be nintendo's last home machine. is it really a bad thing? If nintendo just made software which could be played on any machine..... more sales, more money to put into new games...... more games etc. A good game is still a good game no matter what its played on. so mario on xbox or playstation is still mario ..... only mario with a decent control pad, decent online and achievements/trophies. Everybody inc nintendo wins!

It's worth noting Game station is doing the same offer.

@Pengaweeno yeah you can, they wont test it, as long as it looks ok they will take it.Little bit of mr sheen works wonders. And its only Game who loose out!

Award for the most censored web site out side of china ...No free speech here!

@wingedfish if your in U.K Game and Game station have a pretty good trade in offer, get a XL and charger for £79.99 when you trade in a 3ds small.

News worthy? .....

Most bigger Asda stores have the 3ds xl on demo pods.

I don't care for netflix, because you will need a wifi connection, which in most case's means being at home, in which case i can watch netflix on my 60 " screen. I only buy my portable consol's to play games. On my vita i've never even opened skype or facebook. I use it and my 3ds for games only.

Just sold my 3ds small to my nephew, need the cash for the XL, so cant play any 3ds for 2 weeks, so gravity rush will have to keep me going till then!!

Are we getting a 3ds xl review soon?

Nintendo need some proper adverts, not some old has been from sex in the city pretending to play mario. They need to show the great features and some in game footage. If you don't read gaming media, you will have no idea what 3ds is. Sony have the exact same problem with vita. Both great systems but both let down by there stupid adverts.

@thedreaminghawk why? what difference is it to you if sales only happen in that country?

The only way to beat the pirates is for the games company's to make there games cheaper. If all new 3ds game carts were £15 - £20 people would make fewer copies ... until then most people who own a ds/3ds will download games for free for tinterweb.

There are some good 3ds games, but when was the last big hitter ? march with kid ica and resident evil, there has been nothing special since.

Here's a whacky idea.....more games = more sales.........

Did have plans to finish resident evil rev, but now waiting for the XL, so gonna finish gravity rush, and some online tennis with mario.....(if you play against hitler or dr house its prob me)

@lordotakwiiu why ?

This sounds like it could be fun......but we all know it will be pants.....fingers crossed im wrong!

Looks like the kid on the right in the photo has eaten his 3ds! I bet he can not wait for the XL.......just like going super sized!!!!

£250 is not to bad, but will cost an extra £20 for a power cord...............

Just put my pre order in...........dam you nintendo..............

There is no way on earth Wii u will be £200 in U.K......... Just look at price of 3ds xl...prob wont get much change from £300

Nintendo live in there own little bubble....."don't want to make the same mistake as we did with the 3ds" mmmm 3ds XL £180 no charger....... yep you have learned......NOT!

No has talked about the lack of a charger! this is a terrible idea, I'm getting a XL but not happy about the lack of charger. I know you can get a cheap one for £2 in tescos, but what happens if my new XL stops working, I send it to nintendo and because i've not used a licenced charger my warranty is invalid. With out a charger the XL is not fit for purpose............

Hopefully gamestation will do a trade in deal........trade in 3ds small and get a 3ds xl for £90......

play.com £179.99

@legend_marioid i'm not bothered about wii u price, but this scares me, will the wii u have power and hdmi cables in box? prob not!! just usr your old wii ones......this is awful

will be at least £160, maybe £90 if you trade in a 3ds small. I will be getting one, but its very expensive if you don't get a charger!! how can they get away with this, i'm sure anything sold in UK needs to be fit for purpose ! with out a charger its not fit for purpose.....I'm going to email trading standards to see what they have to say

@smooth27 you can pay a 1000 bucks....you still ain't going to get a second stick!

I'm half way through resident evil, do I wait to get XL......of finish it on my normal 3ds? I think ReR will look great on bigger screen!

This is good news, But come on, no power plug? that cant be right......

Really hope this comes to the handhelds, 3ds or vita

£8.10 blimey.......maybe in a few months when i've cleared my backlog.

It needs more demo's, and take the play limit of the demo's, why cant I play it more than 30 times? My 7 year old nephew can not buy that many games, so the free demo's are the bread and butter of his gaming life, and a limit on these demo's restricts his playing time.

gravity rush and mario tennis

They have a pre order price promise..... you will pay no more than what you ordered at, even if there price rises. So pre order now and you will get it for that price!!

As pants as that ad is, at least nintendo is making ads for the 3ds, unlike sony....no new vita ads since launch!!

@zergling its so you can pretend you have got a really big game boy!

@hailsanta yeah a great game is still a great game no matter what machine you play it on (well maybe not rayman origins 3ds)

The sad sad truth is, that Wii u will be nintendo's last home gaming machine, it will sell, but no where the numbers the wii did. The casual market already have wii and will see no reason to upgrade, and the core gamers will bypass it because they were burnt by the wii. Some of my best gaming moments have come from nintendo machines, but I'm going to pass on wii u. Lets hope the 3ds thing tonight show some new stuff, its already very popular but with some new games on the way 3ds could rocket. At least 3ds is not being ignored like vita. I honestly can see (and hope for)that in a couple of years nintendo will make there games for the other home machines, how great would mario be on 360/ps3 with proper online, and trophy/gamescore support, played with a proper joystick!

It would be win win, us gamers could play nintendo games on any machine, which means they sell more, make more money, which could be put back in to game dev.....which means better games......which any one can play which means more sold.....more money etc........

I know some nintendo fanboys will be up in arms, but its the only way forward.

If the wii u pad was stand alone and called "game boy" I would get it.....but have no intrest in Wii u

YES shovel ware in stunning HD! start how they mean to go on............

I heard there were also getting a vita 3d

Well this will allow me to sell the wii u tablet on ebay!

Hope there is news of some new SNES games, not had any for ages!
