In a recent interview with Iwata, in which described some of the internal changes for the 3DS XL, the following images were shown. Now, these were probably just tech demos to show the internals, and nothing more. However, I kind of like the raw look of the device. If available, would you buy the transparent 3DS XL?
Share your perspective. Keep it thoughtful, welcoming and on topic.
If we didn't already own a 3DS, then yes, yes I would have.
Same as above, if I didn't already have a 3DS, this is the one I'd get. Not necessarily because it's SUPER COOL, though. It's pretty cool, but it's main appeal for me personally is nostalgia. Back in the 90s Nintendo came out with the Play It Loud line of different color Gameboys. My first Gameboy, and one of my very first things I ever purchased with my own money, was my transparent Gameboy (which I still have to this day). So while this thing is mildly neat in general, it invokes a massive wave on nostalgia in me.
Once they drop the price for the 3DS XL. I still haven't purchased a 3DS, I still have my DS Lite (JPN). I don't really mind colors anyways but this would be a nice one to have.
You know, what ever happened to transparent nintendo hardware? It seems like, ever since the GameCube, the fad just vanished. But there were clear version of the N64 and the Gameboy Advance. Now, a clear GameCube or Wii would probably be a health hazard because of the lasers behind a disc-based system, but that doesn't mean you can't have clear controllers again! And that CERTAIN doesn't mean we can't have clear versions of the DS and 3DS.
I like the idea of a transparent 3DS, but it'd be cool if it was colored AND transparent, since I had a transparent "glacier indigo" GBA, and a transparent green N64
Reminds me of my old purple GB Color.
Hm even though I'm not really on board for the XL but having transparent is cool but for some reason this was done before and didn't end well but I'm not sure on this one.
Yah. I loved my transparent Gameboy Pocket.
Hmmm….I wouldn't normally, but since the color options are pretty lackadaisical in the U.S…..
hi there yeah i want consoles be transparent
Of course
I haven't seen a major handheld with seethrough coloring since the gameboy advanced
