Exclusive First Look at Nintendo 3DS XL from San Diego Comic-Con

Here is a video of the exclusive first look at the upcoming Nintendo 3DS XL from San Diego Comic-Con. The 3DS XL (the XL stands for X-tra large screen of course) is due to be released on August 19th, but SDCC attendees are getting a first look at the device.

I have to say I was impressed with the 3D abilities of this little machine. You can adjust it to turn it off if you want to, but I had it cranked up all the way and it was awesome. After about 15 seconds my eyes adjusted to the 3d effects and it really looked excellent. I spent a good 20 minutes just playing Castlevania: Lords of Shadow – Mirror of Fate, which should be released some time this fall.

The commentary is difficult to hear, and the video isn’t great, but the video should give you some idea of the size and look of the new machine. I had no indications of a headache after playing with the new XL.
