Hey guys!
Andru Edwards here, editor-in-chief of GearLive.com and it is the week!
The big week for Nintendo, they're releasing the new Nintedo 3DS XL and we've got one here,
we showed you in a previous episode.
This is the new Black Model, that's the name of the color "New Black".
There's a little bit of a pattern there if you can really see from that far away, it's
very subtle but cool.
But we just got in another Nintendo 3DS XL, it's this one right here.
This is the Majora's Mask Edition of the 3DS XL Hardware.
As you can see from the new black version, this one has design on it, that is basically
a limited edition that pays homage to The Legend of Zelda Majora's Mask.
That's the other big thing happening this week is the release of The Legend of Zelda
Majora's Mask 3D.
So the original was released on the Nintendo 64 a long time ago.
So it's been re-done and optimized FOR 3D, to be released on Nintendo 3DS and 3S XL and
the new 3DS XL.
So what we're gonna do in this episode, we're gonna open up the Majora's Mask Edition and
get a look at that, and show you the artwork on that console and give you and give you
a little comparison between the new black version.
And then on our next video, we're gonna open up this, this is another limited edition piece.
This is the Skull Kid Collector's Edition of Majora's Mask 3D.
So on the inside, it's got a School Kid Collectible Figurine, we'll open that up and it also has
the game in there as well, Majora's Mask 3D, so you'll get the game and the Skull Kid Figurine
in the Skull Kid Limited Edition, Collector's Edition.
So as we said, we're gonna open the new New Nintendo 3DS XL Majora's Mask Edition.
So let's get to it.
Alright, here we go, so the first thing you know is on the box or if you're comparing
it to the original box which we've showed you on the previous episode, the regular box
shows you all the new features of the new Nintendo 3DS XL.
This one on the front obviously going to show the artwork because it's the collector's edition
model, and they really wanna show that.
But on the back, here they do show in a small area that you get a super stable 3D built-in
amiibo support, extra processing power, and the C-stick for enhanced controls.
Now let's open this up and take a look on what's on the inside.
It's very exciting that we were able to get this in, especially early, before the item
has been released.
A lot of people try to get these and have a hard time because these are made in such
limited numbers that Nintendo couldn't meet the demand, and so some stores like Best Buy
for example, took pre-orders and the later went back and cancelled the pre-orders of
people who have paid, cancelled those pre-orders weeks later so a lot of people couldn't go
elsewhere to find it because it's already sold-out everywhere else.
Hard to get.
We'll show you what's inside here, first you get the AR Cards this, you basically put down
on the surface and then place the cameras, the stereoscopic cameras of the 3DS XL at
the card, and then, looking through the display on the 3DS it will look as if the cards are
creating a virtual reality world in your real world scenario.
So it's hard to explain, but it's really cool and I'm glad they're still throwing those
in there.
This is your Quick Start Instruction Manual, you're probably not gonna do too much reading
on that, but if you have a previous console 3DS, 3DS XL, you're gonna wanna pay close
attention to how it transfer your data over.
So let's see what else we've got here, that's pretty much it, nothing else in there.
This is the console if you probably would have noticed, there is no power cord included
this time around, but if you have a Nintendo DSi, 3DS, 3DS XL, that same power adapter
will work with the new 3DS XL.
Let's put that aside and show you boom, look at that, that looks fantastic.
So obviously Skull Kid upfront, along with a few other various mask, Deku.
It looks great, and to compare that with the new black model, there you see the two, side
by side.
They're obviously the same, it's the same console, there's nothing different about it.
It is simply and purely the design that is different.
So we'll go ahead and open that up.
And on the inside, as you can see there it's just black from top to bottom which is similar
here.
Okay, so this on is actually playing Majora's Mask right now, because I'm right in the middle
of that game.
But aside from the display as you can see on the inside, they look the same.
And then turning them around back, this one has the special coloring on it, and this one
is just the new black color there.
Same along the top.
What sets the New 3DS XL apart is it has the additional shoulder buttons, so instead of
two, you now have four.
Bringing in the ZL and ZR buttons, faster processor, so almost two times faster, which
means loading your games, starting things up, and moving around menus are much snappier.
On the inside here as you can see the A, B, Y, X buttons, they have some color to them
now.
This is the new C-Stick, so you have an analog control on your left, and now you have another
one here on your right, which is good for games like Zelda, controlling the camera and
things like that.
I'm sure the developers will come up with other unique ways to use dual analog sticks
as they have on other consoles.
Your start and select button are here on the right hand side, rather than being along the
bottom of the lower display, and the home button remains there but it's much, much,
much easier to press.
Amiibo Support also built-in right here in to the bottom display so you can just tap
your amiibo right on that display and it'll bring them in to supported games.
So this includes supported games but games that supports amiibo will now work here on
the new 3DS XL.
And that's pretty much it, as I've said, we already showed you the new console.
This is in particular, the Majora's Mask Edition, so I wanted to get a video out on that, and
show you what it look like, and give you a little bit of a comparison between the look
of this, and the new black version, you can see right there.
So that was your look at the New Nintendo 3DS XL Majora's Mask Edition, super cool!
Again, big shout out to Nintendo, thanks a lot for sending that over.
We wanted to be able to give you guys a look at this one, we know it's gonna be hard to
find out there, too rare, pre-orders have sold out everywhere, you can find them if
went into places like Target, or possibly Best Buy.
Wait in line before they open and get in there, and you can probably find one, depending on
when you watch this video.
Although while this is gonna be in eBay, like that and being a collector's model and it
is certainly a collector's model piece, you're gonna pay a premium in order to get this.
If you don't find it in stores.
One other item of notes on the Majora's Mask Edition, it doesn't say anywhere on the box
that it includes the game, it does not, in fact, what the box does say is The Legend
of Zelda Majora's Mask Game sold separately.
So this isn't one of those special bundles where they're including games with the purchase
of the console.
This is just for the console itself, if you want the game you have to buy that separately,
you can buy it in store or on the Nintendo E-shop of course.
Now next time we're gonna get on to our next video, where we open up the Legend of Zelda
Majora's Mask 3D Limited Edition School Kid Collectible Figurine Version of the Legend
of Zelda Majora's Mask 3D so, check back on YouTube.com/GearLive

at the New Nintendo 3DS XL Majora's Mask Edition.
