Compared to previous models, the Nintendo 3DS XL gets some control-level changes. Two new buttons, ZL and ZR, find their places next to the shoulder L and R buttons. If you are switching from the former 3DS, you may find the positioning awkward. But in practice, the new buttons are absolutely easy to reach and use. They actually enhance the overall gaming experience.
You will also see a new analog stick, namely "c-stick." It is a small nub to the right and above Nintendo's signature A, B, X and Y buttons. The c-stick is another intelligent and thoughtful enhancement that improves the gaming experience on the 3DS XL compared to its predecessors.

The overall build quality of the 3DS XL also gets some improvements. It feels more solid compared to the previous 3DS model.
Perhaps, the only thing that hasn't improved much is the battery. It desperately needs an improved battery to truly qualify as a portable gaming machine. While it gets some additional battery power that allows it to last up to 7 hours in some cases, there are still occasions when you are in need of even greater power backup.
Overall, the Nintendo 3DS XL is an excellent handheld gaming device with great improvements in design and 3D graphics that lead to a sensational gaming experience.
