| Do you have any games you bring with you on the "hype train"? |
Nintendo just released their new 3DS XL model in the United States this past Sunday, August 19. If you don't know, the Nintendo 3DS XL has 90 percent larger screens than the original Nintendo 3DS system (which released last year), as well as longer battery life.
The new 3DS XL model has a retail price of $199.99, and is available in Red or Blue, and comes bundled with a 4GB SD card. Not only did Nintendo release the new 3DS XL on Sunday to entice gamers to stores, but they also released a new Mario game, New Super Mario Bros. 2, on Sunday for the 3DS system as well.
Last year after the 3DS released I did a poll that asked, "Did you board the 3DS hype train?" and you can see that poll and post HERE. Last week, I posted up a new poll that simply asked, "Are you buying a Nintendo 3DS XL?". The poll has ended, but what were the results (and can you guess which one I voted for)? Take a look!
Are you buying a Nintendo 3DS XL?
Day one! 3 (17%)
Trading my current 3DS, for the 3DS XL model. 1 (5%)
Keeping my original 3DS, AND buying the new 3DS XL day one. 1 (5%)
Maybe, not sure. 3 (17%)
Sticking with the original. 7 (41%)
No, and I don't own any 3DS yet. 1 (5%)
Does it have two Circle Pads? 1 (5%)
Did somebody say iPad? 0 (0%)
PS Vita! 0 (0%)
Caffeinated Thoughts/Questions
First, feel free to share how you voted in the comments below. I found the results interesting for the poll being up only a week, and considering that I rarely post polls I was glad to see it get a decent number of votes. The largest vote total is in bold above, "Sticking with the original.", with 7 votes, or 41% of the total votes.
Which one did I vote for? See the first comment below in the comment section to find out! If you were one of the three that voted "Day one!", or perhaps you missed the poll and didn't vote but have purchased the 3DS XL, do you think the new system is worth the asking price of $199.99? If you didn't get the 3DS XL yet, and own the original, have you taken a look at any of the current trade-in promotions for the new system and thought about taking advantage of those?
Also, if any of you purchased New Super Mario Bros. 2 and have had a chance to play it, what do you think of the game from what you have played? Good, or bad?
