- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 20 December 2017Colour Name: Black and TurquoiseVerified PurchaseThis is such a good console! I got it as a Christmas present for myself and as a up-grade from my Original 3DS XL which is starting to feel its age. I'm so impressed with it! The black and blue colour combo is stunning and compliments itself really well. The screens are really clear and really good quality and speed wise...its really fast! I have currently tested out Mario Kart 7, Animal Crossing New Leaf, Zelda Ocarina of Time, Nintendogs and Cats and Ultra Moon, Pokemon Platinum and Pokemon X. All of these games load up nice and quick, especially Ultra Moon (it doesn't have that stupid 'please wait' message when you close the game down anymore!). The sound is also of really good quality, even on DS games. The buttons are really responsive and I love the fact that both the game cartridge and the micro SD card are protected at the bottom of the system and easy to get to (no worries about accidentally popping out my game or dreading taking the system apart to get to the SD card anymore - should I need to). I haven't got any games that require the C-stick so I haven't been able to test that out yet. I also really like the fact that you have to switch on the internet of the system within the system itself and not on a slider. The delivery was also nice and quick. All in all, I'm really happy with my new system and have already done the system transfer from my Original 3DS XL and have made my 2DS XL my main console. Almost forgot to mention, it's really comfortable to hold. I have small hands myself and my previous console would start to feel really heavy after a few hours of gaming. The 2DS XL fits really nicely into my small hands and definitely seems to be lighter than the Original 3DS XL.

- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 6 February 2018Colour Name: Pikachu EditionVerified PurchaseI brought this for my Pokémon obsessed 7 year old for his upcoming birthday.
I have been in two minds about buying one for some time as he has the original 2ds and I didn't think there would be much of a difference but I was seriously wrong! I received it today and have just taken it out of the box. This newer version completely blows its predecessor out of the water in every single way. The screens are much larger, it's got a lovely smooth and sleek design. The colour and quality of the screens are miles more superior. I was a bit worried that it would have a cheap and nasty feel to it and that the hinge would be wobbly but I don't feel either of those are an issue, feels solid and sturdy to me.
The sound quality and volume is good and clear and fully adjustable (thankfully!)
The Pikachu design itself is just lovely, so cute and the colours are very bright and attractive.
The menus are clear and easy to navigate as well as being very nicely touch responsive instead of slow and buggy. Setting it up was super quick and easy as well. I cannot comment on game play as of yet but so far it ticks all of the boxes for me. I know my son is going to be over the moon with it. Thank you Amazon!
- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 30 March 2021Colour Name: Black and Lime GreenVerified PurchaseThe product came as listed; boxed, Mario Kart 7 installed, excellent condition.
The only mark I found on it was a little scratch in the top left corner of the upper screen ( not over where the game shows ) and its not noticeable unless you move it in a certain position and look for it. One other small issue I’ve noticed is that the B button, although it works, if you release it a very small amount with your finger, it will stop registering while the button is still held down. May require a fix one day further down the line, but currently it’s not an issue and many wouldn’t even notice.
Screens besides what I mentioned above are immaculate.
No problem with the system itself. Runs perfect.
The seller was very communicative and helpful. He even sent me some used casing for the outside of the console and a used case for the console to go in to minimise chance of damaging.
All in all, I wanted to pay more money for a better condition console and I do believe that’s what I have got. In a sea of used 2DS XL consoles for sale, this was probably my best bet at getting one as close to new as possible.

3.0 out of 5 stars NOT a North American console
Colour Name: Black and Lime GreenVerified PurchaseNice version of the New 2DSXL and was received in excellent condition. HOWEVER, I saw nothing in the description to indicate that it was a UK only console. You cannot set the times to anywhere in the Western Hemisphere nor will it play NA 3DS games. It will, however, play DS games just fine as will the Japanese consoles. This doesn't pose a problem for me since I possess 30+ other DS type consoles. If it had been my only DS, I would have returned it immediately.

5.0 out of 5 stars Satisfecho con la compra.
Colour Name: Black and Lime GreenVerified PurchaseTodo correcto, el envío rápido y la consola que llegó en un estado perfecto. El cargador es inglés, así que deberíais tener a mano otro cargador de la consola o bien un adaptador. Quitando ello, nada distinto en relación con la otra new 2ds XL adquirida tiempo atrás en España. Compra recomendable.
AbrahamSatisfecho con la compra.
