So, I love this 2DS XL for numerous reasons. Let me point that all out.
TL;DR: Design is simple and obvious, pokeball button is functional, easy access to SD card, safety from accidental ejection for Games, but glossy top screen and speaker vibrations are added factors to consider. Comes with its own charger to add to its nice price point!
Design of this edition:
This Pokeball edition is totally one of the best collector's edition 3DS on the market. It's simple and easy to make out without having to go too simple or too complex in design. Fundamentally, this is designed after a pokeball (I wish there were options to purchase of changable faces depending on which ball you prefer (luxury ball, for example), but it is great. In addition to the visual component, yes, the button on the cover is functional. :D It doesn't have any purpose, but I'm glad to know that you can at least push it down with a satisfying response. :)
The upgraded features:
I'd be upset to find out that this was just an experiment for an upcoming Newer 3DS XL DX CLE--or something, because these new features present on this model are very good additions in my book.
-silent hinge; I hated all my previous models for their loud obnoxious CLICK every time I open or close the thing. This has a silent click to it, so a definite plus.
-protected game cart slot and easy access to SD card! Probably the best upgrade here is this. No more accidental game ejecting or screwing off the entire world to get to your SD card.
Charger included!!
Objective Aspects:
-screen seems crisper to my eyes, but may just be a screen protector brand difference.
-shoulder buttons are easier to precisely hit; the lip on them are a welcome change, imo
-plastic thinness. some of the status lights like to bleed through the casing. Namely the orange, red and yellow colored lights.
Potential Issues:
With all the good out of the way, I want to talk about potential issues.
-rear-facing cameras are on the bottom of the two parts; this may get scratched if not cared for when laying the system on it's butt. Although, Nintendo took this into consideration and dropped the lenses into the system a tad deeper just in case.
-speaker placement is now on the bottom front of the system. The issue here is the vibrations caused by the sounds emitted by the speakers run through your hands. Not a bothersome issue, but since the vibrations were always on the top half and never connected to my hands, it is something I notice now, but nothing detrimental to usage.
-glossy top screen frame; I recommend a screen protector for this one. It is not bad, but if you like to touch your screen and add fingerprints to it for some reason, this is an item to consider.
-lower battery life; arriving to me it only had one bar of factory charge left. This may not be a definitive way to check upon launch, but normally I receive nicely charged systems from nintendo, and news of the first runs of 2DS XL models have shown lower battery life, anyway, this is the same, but not too big an issue thanks to portable battery chargers being so prevalent in the market now.
Transfer issue: I came across an issue where some of my games disappeared after a PROPER transfer. I went to the SD card and they were there but grayed out with an X. After digging around, I went to the eShop and repaired a small game to try the fix, and upon doing so, ALL games just popped out on the home screen as if they were ALL new (still wrapped). Just a heads up just in case anyone else comes across that issue.
I was going to settle with a regular one until I saw this one was in stock. The button is functional. It serves no purpose, but it does press in like a button and it's fun to toy with. The size is smaller than a 3ds xl, but it's not by much. It's slimmer. I LOVE the cover for the cartridges, I have a nasty habit of accidentally pushing them out on my old 3ds xl and it was frustrating. The fact the SD card is accessible now is nice as well. The stylus is a bit on the short side, but that's okay.
All in all, it's a very nice collectors edition if you enjoy pokemon. It's worth the few extra bucks to purchase over the regular 2ds xl.
