A quick note on the «non-XL» version of the New 3DS: I have played with the model quite a bit, and to me it honestly looks like the superior, or at least more fun, version of the console, given its smaller (though still 20 % larger than the original 3DS) screen and therefore more pleasing resolution, colourful face buttons,
customisable face plates and slightly lower price tag ($ 220 AU).
