Nintendo 3DS XL Handheld System - Black/Blue (Renewed) [Nintendo DS]

I have ordered a Refurbished - Excellent: Nintendo New Galaxy 3DS XL. Through Amazon's shipping, I received this beautiful New Galaxy 3ds xl early! The system had everything with it to get started as I was provided with a charger with the system listing I had chosen through CaveGamers, and it did have the stylus. I've thoroughly inspected the New 3ds xl exterior and interior. The exterior barely any cosmetic wear whatsoever! There's not much that could've been concerning. There was maybe one or two surface level scratches on the top and bottom of the case, but you have to go out of your way to notice or feel them. No chips in the paint and I like how the Galaxy shines! As for the inside of the system, it's also in excellent condition. I tried out all of the buttons and they felt snappy as they should. There wasn't any damage or scratches on the screens or other cosmetic damage that I was able to tell. All that I needed to do was let the system charge as it was dead on arrival. I ordered a replacement battery as I know these systems and their batteries are starting to reach their end cycle. The battery currently in the system looked fine but was barely bloating so I'm upgrading with a new regardless. Either way, the new 3ds xl turned on after getting the battery to full. I was welcomed to the setup screen. The screens were working as intended too, with no dead pixels and the 3D with its tracking is reliable. Overall, the system looked like it was barely used! While I used to have the old 3DS in Red as a kid, this feels so far as a great upgrade! I am impressed with what I received and feel this is what I would've expected. I'm going to relive my childhood!

Sadly arrived defective. The bottom touch screen doesn’t respond to input from the stylus or fingers. Very disappointing!!

This was in perfect condition and it came with a stylus, and a sd card. It has no scratches and works fine. 10/10

The condition of the console was very accurate I had bought 2 of the same handheld from “Toys and Video Games Store” and “Cavegamers” Both were listed as refurbished Excellent condition and same price of 494$ The one from T&V was way better looking The only issue with the 3DS from Toys and video games is that the top screen didn’t have 3d it looked very weak to me and didn’t lift off screen other than than that the console came with about 4-5 noticeable scratches and a little scratch on the top screen less than a millimeter bottom screen was scratch free I do NOT recommend Cavegamers at ALL and HIGHLY recommend you buy from T&V also this ONLY applies to the “New” Nintendo 3DS Pokémon Solgaleo and Lunala Black edition, nothing else

While I’ve wanted a 3DS for years, it was hard to justify paying almost the price of a current generation console for a handheld device. Which I wasn’t even sure how much I would actually use. I would always read about games, especially RPGs, that couldn’t be played anywhere else. But finally after getting attached to my sons 3DS, I decided to get one for myself. While it was listed as refurbished ($160 i think), my device must be brand new. It didn’t have so much as a fingerprint on it, and the screens and buttons appeared untouched. My model seems to have the more favorable IPS screens that come standard in the newest ones. The image quality and 3d is amazing. Probably my favorite aspect is how tactile everything is. After a while I forget how small the viewing area is, and I’m absorbed into other worlds that I hold in my hands. Its a different experience than i could get from even the nicest TV. And I was unsure about the C stick, but after some practice I love using it in games that have a free camera. Like in Xenoblade Chronicles, for an example. I only wish that I had gotten one of these sooner, because it seems the 3DS is at the end of its life cycle. I’m trying to catch up on all of the classic role playing games I’ve missed out on, like Bravely Default, Shin Megami Tensei, and Etrian Odyssey. And a couple of my current favorite games are “Legend of Zelda: Majoras Mask” and “a Link Between Worlds.” While the image quality in general can seem kind of low, games that have 3D effects change everything entirely. It’s still awe inspiring every time I move the 3d slider up, and characters and scenery suddenly become physical objects. It puts a completely different perspective on whatever I’m playing, that i can’t get from anywhere else. My only complaint about this little system is the battery life. The higher quality visuals and 3d of the New 3DS XL come with a price...if you play with the 3d cranked up, make sure there is a power source nearby. And charging times don’t seem overly long, but I’ve never timed it. Overall, if it’s in your budget and you think it might be worth it, then it probably will be. You can play everything from massive RPG worlds to classic remasters and brain teaser games to keep occupied with for just a few minutes. I also recommend the leatherette carrying case with Legend of Zelda on it. It holds several game cartridges and keeps your 3DS safe. Personally I prefer the physical games, but if you go digital it only comes with a 32 gig SD card, so you may need more storage

Ordered as a "Renewed" for "Excellent" condition. While the overall condition of the console was fairly good, there are quite a few issues and flaws. 1. As others have stated, the shell is 3rd party reshell, and doesn't exactly fit great. While the shell itself is likely new and looks nice, and was covered with a plastic adhesive film to protect it, the fitment is a bit off in places like edges and corners. Also, the power button doesn't stick thru far enough. 2. The hinge for top screen works and holds in place, but the "click" of it feels really gross and like something is wrong or going to break. 3. The battery did come fully charged, and the console powered on right away. It is the default 1750mah battery capacity. 4. It did come with a 4GB microsd card. The contacts looked scratched - I replaced that immediately with a 32gb microsdhc. 5. I received no charger with this unit. 6. As others have stated, the 3D feature of this console does not work at all, and cannot be calibrated. It's just completely blurry and does not work correctly. 7. The upper and lower screens both seem to be in good condition. They were clean, but the touch input on the bottom screen needed calibrated, as it was off. The top screen had some flecks of debris, and there is even a black speck stuck under the screen in one area, or it's a dead pixel. I have not taken it apart to check for fear of damaging it further. 8. I was able to reset the system to factory defaults and get the country region corrected (originally was Anguilla, set it to U.S. with no issues). I have been able to play my physical Pokémon games on it without issue. I was also able to setup an account for the eShop and get updates for the games, even though the eShop is closed down now by Nintendo. Overall, I suppose I'll be keeping the console, as I really just needed it to play Pokémon games with my kid and be able to trade with each other. However, I feel this console is excessively overpriced with the quality issues mentioned above. I could fix most or all of it, but then I'm looking at putting more money into it than I already have. Having experienced this all myself, and seeing all the other reviews where people have had excessive issues, I would strongly caution to reconsider purchase from this seller. Too many quality issues. If you're looking to get a 3DS that is just simply able to play your physical games and is not in "Excellent" condition that you paid extra money for, then take a risk and buy one of these.

It works and is intact but with some astrix in the mix though. Dust and what appears to be hair stuck between the touch layer and LCD layer plus a soft small gouge in the upper right corner of the lower screen likely from the refurbishment process. Is it a little annoying? Eh not visually because you can tune it out after a while but it does sour the premium price of 410.00 USD on a resell item. Am I gonna send it back? Not gonna risk getting something worse and have already transferred all my personal games to it anyway after a botched DSLite purchase because the port was cheaply done. If you are looking for top quality getting your moneys worth... Maybe go second hand market, I would not make this buy a first suggestion anymore, if you want something that will likely work with the chance to send it back for a complete refund in 90 days, this is probably the safest/quickest. Buttons do click nicely and all controls work, the case creeks but that's more on Nintendo's engineering of the plastic molding snaps, replaced the battery with a higher capacity one while I was upgrading the micro SD 4GB that was provided to a 16GB. No major technical issues outside getting stuck on a black screen when closing and opening the clam shell with Pokemon Platinum running. Was smooth to mod and feels good in my hands, they ship it with only the basic software nothing extra included, by yourself a charger ahead of time.

finally received my order I ordered the OK status for refurbished so I expected a couple issues. A bunch of screws are actually missing completely backpay. Only stays on with the screws the parts that are supposed to clip in on the sides do not battery came critically low with no charger. System was pre-modified advertised as a North American region with the whole XL on the case as well as in the product name device was actually a modded region swapped Japanese console to make it look like a North American console the Japanese console is the LL so if you need to do things that involve the E shop just know there’s a chance you will get a region swapped console which will not have access to the E shop stuff. Obviously E shop is shut down now, but you can still re-download software that you’ve downloaded before and update software if there’s updates product was advertised falsely by advertising it as the Excel version which is North America when an actuality was Japanese version LL. The part that is frustrating is the Japanese version is about 50% cheaper than the North American version so I paid North American price for Japanese.

Llegó funcional y con todo. Pero el cargador entregado es genérico. La parte de arriba llegó muy rallada y el precio muy alto para lo que entregan.

Simplemente se ve nuevo y se siente nuevo, llevo más de un mes jugando desde que llegó y no ha tenido o sufrido algo desperfecto, súper recomendable y buen precio para ser un artículo que lleva tiempo discontinuado, trae todo, el cargador es de los genéricos pero se agradece.

El producto que llegó está defectuoso, no funciona ni el efecto 3D ni el botón R

Me encantó, funciona perfecto

Excelente estado, tal cuál se mostraba en la publicación, recomendado
