The Nintendo 3DS & 3DS XL are Nintendo's flagship portable devices offering unparalleled handheld gameplay. What the 3DS lacks in power, it makes up for in fun bringing an iconic list of Nintendo's greatest gaming characters with you wherever you are. With frequent refinements to the console itself and a constant stream of first and handpicked third-party games, the Nintendo 3DS is a timeless addition to the console industry.
Pick up any 3DS bundle and - excluding limited editions - they'll usually come with the following: A Nintendo 3DS or 3DS XL console, a 4-8GB SD memory card, a Nintendo 3DS Official Stylus and the standard 3DS/XL user manual. Although there's no Power Adapter included by default, although our partner retailers will usually try to bundle one in for you, so it's worth checking out our Nintendo 3DS deals.
The aptly named Nintendo 3DS introduced an impressive new 3D screen, offering unprecedented depth for any game developed on the platform. Adjustable via a sliding toggle - or disabled full stop - the 3D display brings fresh life to classic Nintendo characters.
Nintendo's flagship titles have seen a new lease of life on 3DS, with frequent releases of Nintendo classics re-imagined and remastered for handheld 3D-optimised gaming.
Enjoy a steady mix of arcade action and ultimate nostalgia with titles such as Super Mario 3D Land, Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time or Star Fox 3D, to name but a few.
The confusingly named New Nintendo 3DS is an upgrade on the original 3DS model. Better 3D capabilities, better battery life, NFC for amiibo support and 1.2x bigger screens are packaged into a new modern look. The front facing camera tracks your face to automatically adjust the Super-Stable 3DS making it much easier to play games with 3D switched on.
Customise the look of your New 3DS with changeable cover plates. Hundreds of different designs mean you can swap them out dependent on your mood. Some New 3DS come bundled with a range of cover plates.

Nintendo's portable handheld comes in a variety of flavours that can be a little overwhelming at first. If you've stuck with us this far, however, you've already made your first important decision: you want a fantastic, fun, portable gaming device with a catalogue of critically aclaimed games to play on it.
The Nintendo 3DS comes in four flavours; 3DS, 3DS XL, New 3DS and New 3DS XL. All boast the trademark dual-screen with touch screen and 3D support. The 3DS XL - as its name suggest - is a larger device. It boosts the size and resolution of each of the two screens; from 3.88in to 4.88in for the 3D display and 3.33in to 4.18in for the touch screen. The New 3DS and 3DS XL comes with a range of new features, including face-tracking 3D, new controls and built-in amiibo support.
The 3DS & 3DS XL both cater for the fashion conscious, with the 3DS coming in solid finishes of Cosmos Black or Ice White. The 3DS XL however comes in either solid or two-tone finishes of Pink, Red & Black, Blue & Black, Silver & Black, White or Black.
Not unlike other console manufacturers, Nintendo often release fantastic Limited Edition versions of their handhelds. Each usually comes with its own unique livery and a bundled game. Fancy a Limited Edition 3DS bundle of the Super Smash Bros, Legend of Zelda, Animal Crossing or Yoshi variety? Well then, you're in luck. Check out our Nintendo 3DS deals to find yours.
