Gaming How do you identify the n3ds xl vs the o3ds xl?

[kylster]

I'm interested in buying a newer model 3ds xl but is there any clear indication if it's the newest model when purchasing on i.e. amazon? Does anyone know a reputable site I could purchase one as well?

new 3ds will have the extra "c stick" just above the x button whereas the old 3ds don't have it.

and better compatibility with games (like Hyrule Warriors for example) and better performance, Snes VC, etc....

It says "NEW" also doesn't come with a charger.

The Nintendo 3DSXL didn't come with a charger either.

If you can't check for the c stick: n3ds got 2 * 2 shoulder buttons, o3ds only got 2*1

C-Stick, Stylus on the bottom, Colored AXYB letters, No wifi button, Games on the bottom left,
Much better 3D feature, SCREWS ON THE BACK, No SD slot since it uses Micro SDs, two extra
buttons on the back: ZL, ZR. etc.

N3DS XL comes in darker colours. You can get dark red, but not bright red, like you can with O3DS XL.

The new one doesn't come with a charger whereas an old one does.
The new one has a gray button thing over the X button, whereas the old doesn't.
The new one is more rectangular than the awkward boxy square design of the old one.
The new one usually has a glossy exterior, whereas the old XL was usually matte.
The new one has large speaker holes in a + formation.
The new one has 4 buttons on the back, and the charger port is perfectly in the middle.
