Well this is great news for blind Jimmys. Nintendo announces today that a larger version of the 3DS is official. It's called the 3DS XL.

POW!

It's big now. I'm thrilled about this. Maybe now I can get into some Mario Kart. Here's the details from Nintendo.

REDMOND, Wash.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--A big year for the Nintendo 3DS system is about to get even bigger. In a Nintendo Direct video on June 21, Nintendo revealed plans to launch Nintendo 3DS XL, a new version of Nintendo 3DS with 90 percent larger screens. When it becomes available across North America on Aug. 19 at a suggested retail price of $199.99, the new system will create even more immersive entertainment experiences for users, delivering a wealth of games and video content that can be enjoyed on the go.

“No other hand-held entertainment experience compares to the fun of Nintendo 3DS”
Nintendo 3DS XL features an updated form factor and will be available in Red or Blue. The new system’s battery life outperforms that of the original Nintendo 3DS, and it comes bundled with a 4 GB SD card, which owners can use to store content such as downloadable games and videos from the Nintendo eShop. Nintendo 3DS XL launches on Aug. 19, the same day as New Super Mario Bros. 2, a new installment in the fan-favorite Mario game series.

“No other hand-held entertainment experience compares to the fun of Nintendo 3DS,” said Nintendo of America President and COO Reggie Fils-Aime. “With the launch of Nintendo 3DS XL on Aug. 19, consumers will be able to enjoy the great lineup of current and upcoming games on an even grander scale. Plus, Nintendo 3DS XL gives owners even more real estate on their screens to enjoy entertainment applications like Nintendo Video and Netflix.”

Red or blue Jimmy? I'll go red. A buck 99 is still over priced I think. I'll wait for that holiday price drop. Vote, Comment and Share. Don't be a Jimmy!
