A Closer Look at the Pink/White 3DS XL

So, if you're reading this, I'm sure that by now you are already aware that I received a Pink/White 3DS XL for Christmas. It was definitely one of my favorite presents and the one I've gotten the most use out of since the holidays. It's fun, easy to carry around, and it's just so freaking cute!

Anyone who knows me well knows that pink is my favorite color (and anyone that takes one look at my blog could no doubt figure that out too!) and the shade of pink they chose for the 3DS just looks so perfect. Can you tell I'm in love? Because I really am.

And while the outside is a really pretty pink color, the inside compliments it well by being completely white. It makes the entire handheld system look really cute.

I really should stop going on and on about how cute it is. But that's the reason why I spent days trying to figure out how to get this color, while the internet, Gamestop, and even Nintendo was incredibly hush hush about it. Perseverance!

Anyway, I don't know how good a review would do anyone, since this 3DS is not any different from any other 3DS XLs, besides the color of course. The 3D is amazing, and I find myself using it quite often, until I feel the need to rest my eyes. Having to find just the right spot while playing is a little annoying, so if I'm lying down or something I'll always turn off the 3D, but for the most part, it's great!

That being said, I really don't have many 3DS games yet.

So far I only have Cooking Mama 4: Kitchen Magic, Harvest Moon: A New Beginning, Style Savvy: Trendsetters, and Virtue's Last Reward, all of which I got for Christmas as well. Instead of buying new 3DS games, I've been trying to assemble all of the Professor Layton games so I can have my Professor Layton Marathon. I'm getting so close!

And I'm really looking forward to playing Animal Crossing once that comes out. And then the new Pokemon X and Y games. I can't believe it took me this long to get a 3DS!

Oh! And that case in the above picture holding all of my games? It's this awesome case I got from Club Nintendo:

Yeah, it's pretty freaking amazing, isn't it? It came with other covers too like Mario and a generic Nintendo one, but I fell in love with this Zelda one, and it definitely took me back to my childhood. And this is a look on the inside:

It has a little familiar Zelda icons throughout the entire inside! Now I'll just be looking forward to the day I can put a Zelda game inside this case. (I need to get Zelda: Ocarina of Time, now).

This post has been a little picture heavy I think, but I'm not done showing off my 3DS quite yet! I dug my old DS out from storage and put it side by side. It's crazy how much bigger the screens are, and just how much nicer the 3DS XL looks in comparison (in my opinion!).

I don't have to squint, my hands don't cramp up (Well, they did when I first got it, but that was probably because I played it for nearly 12 hours straight a day), and now I have a cute pink and white 3DS to play, rather than a bright red DS. Red being one of my least favorite colors, I consider that last point a good one!

And one last picture, just because I can.

Yeah, those are both of my new babies, together. c: My new 3DS and my new iPhone, and they match! Well, at least they match when the 3DS is open. I just ordered a case and charm for my phone though, which should be coming next week. Excited! I can finally keep up with Twitter now that I have a phone that actually wants to work. So now I can bother everyone on there a lot more. Poor them. c:

Also! Before I end this post, I wanted to say that I'm starting up a vlog on Youtube. I have absolutely no idea what it will be about yet, most likely video games, of course, and other girly crap. So yeah, if you want to subscribe to my channel (once I have it up) and watch me talk to a camera, I will love you forever.

Until then,
Bye Lovelies! ♥
