It's really time for Nintendo to think about giving us a larger screen to look at. If they can do that then it might be something I can play on for more than half an hour before getting a headache. And I can't buy a PSP dammit, I just can't. Alright now I'm just being bitchy.

Er
Have you heard of this?
Boro_Bandito:
They gave that a terrible review in that article.
And anyway, I'm not going to drop another 200 for a system I already have.
Ozymandias:
That's a terrible review?
What the hell is your definition of a good one?
Boro_Bandito:
--- Quote ---Now, for the first time in the company's history, it's made an existing platform bigger, with questionable reasons as to why.

--- Quote ---Sadly, where it really counts -- actually playing games -- the XL has scarcely seen improvement.

--- Quote ---The larger screens are a nice touch and do, as Nintendo claims, support wider viewing angles and make text easier on the eyes, but since they are the exact same 256 x 192 resolution, what Nintendo's done is effectively up the size of each pixel. In games that already looked pixelated (especially 3D titles like Mario Kart) the additional aliasing drove us to distraction, and even games with little motion were noticeably made up of tiny squares on occasion.

At least in the areas that I was complaining about, the article does say its more comfortable and the sound quality is better, but I usually use headphones anyway.

"It's the same thing but bigger"
Isn't that an improvement if your biggest gripe with the ds is that it's screens are too small?
