The New Nintendo 3DS XL Releases Tomorrow!

Friday. The. Thirteenth...YES. A day that will live in infamy. A day of horror. A day of hockey masks.

It's also the day that the new Nintendo 3DS XL will be released. Will it be a day of infamy, or a day of horror?

It's totally not going to be horror, trust me.

Nintendo did it right with it's newest handheld system. At least, from what I've read online. I really want to get my hands on the system and try it myself (donations gladly excepted, haha) but everything I'm reading online about its features lead me to believe that this will be very successful.

I thought that I wouldn't want to play a larger 3DS...Who wants bigger things? I thought the cool thing was to go smaller!? Oh...yeah, the new "in" phones are now bigger, inbetween a size of a tablet and a phone...maybe it is cool to go bigger now?

But, that's not all they did. Tons of new features have been added to this system:

• A new C-Stick to control third-person cameras
• Face tracking to better present their 3-D option (eh)
• More buttons for more control!
• Faster processor and better camera
• Improved web-browsing to check out our awesome posts!
• Built in Amiibo Support 

Tons of stuff! To check out more on the new system and to hear Micah and my opinions on it, check out our new Shortii:



Again...donations are accepted for Micah and I to try out this awesome looking new software!

In the words of Mario: Wah-Hoooo!
