    New Nintendo 3DS

    Platform »

    Nintendo's "New 3DS" adds some additional control functionality and horsepower, allowing for some games that can only run on the new hardware, not on Nintendo's original 3DS.

    Do the old 3DS XL cases fit the new 3DS XL?

    I've seen some comparisons where the New 3DS XL is longer and then some where it is basically the same size... makes no sense.

    I cannot find New 3DS XL cases so I'm guessing it is the same size? Is the US/EU version slightly bigger than the Japanese/Aus version?

    Thanx.

    The new 3DS XL is literally about half a millimeter smaller than the old 3DS XL. What do you think?

    What Falcon said, it's pretty much the same exact size.

    It's a fair question, sometimes they redesign the dimensions just enough that old stuff randomly doesn't fit it anymore.
