just went ahead and impulsively bought a white 3DSLL to test it, here some prons and cons of the machine while playing NLP. about the device: a) it's huge!. i didn't think it would be that big from looking at the pictures all over the internet but it actually feels like you're holding a mini laptop in your hands. whe you flat open it , it's almost as big/long as my..foot,lol.. personally i don't think it's a portable machine to carry with you on a trip or somewhere else outside but it sure is the machine if you want to experience a game indoors and in it's full 100% potentials. b) the whole device is now made from one type of material and the mat finish is great, no more shiny surfaces and oily fingerprints everywhere, stays/feels cleaner, it actually feels like it's an oversized DS LITE which is one of my favorite DS machines aesthetically(and the device the LP brand was first introduced in). also the screens have a thin protruding layer around them and also two small bumps on the top to make sure the screens will never meet and scratch each other like a previous problem with the 3DS. also now the upper lid has two lock positions that lock safely in a "laptop" (to sit on a desk) and "flat" (to hold in your hands) positions.. c) it's a bit harder to adjust to the position you have to take to see the 3D effect clearly(you have to look a bit from the bottom looking up and not straight forward) but once you find the position because the screen is in a big enough size to be compatible with the human optical view you'll notice that the effect actually feels 80% clearer and you don't get that ghost effect that much like before. it got a bit harder for me to keep holding the machine in my hands but it works comfortably while in the laptop position if you sit on a desk or lie in bed or rest it in your lap flat open while sitting.. about playing the NLP game on a 3DSLL: a) i usually play the game using the lowest/"1" lighting option and with the filters off in the 3DS and it is lit enough, quite vivid and sharp..well thats not the case with a 3DSLL, with the same options feels a little too dark with a faded yellow and grey hue, i had to turn the light to "5" to get the background in LPM to feel like a crisp white colour, but other than that the colours and graphics look great once you switch the light a bit more, it becomes vivid enough..the sound feels a little bit more "boxed" in my opinion and not as loud but maybe it's cause i have my device in a protective case(?).. you'd never expect it but everything that happens in the upper screen during the NLP game is actually that of amazing quality!
.you would never be able to see all that detail in the smaller machine i swear there are stuff there that i had never noticed before.
the 2D backgrounds("frozen" drawn locations) are really HD, do not feel stretched at all and are so beautifully detailed.
the 3D backgrounds(walking with girl) are really detailed as well it's like the game was created in this size and was compromised to the smaller size.
the 3D girl feels just a tiny bit pixely especially where her hair is thinning out and meets with the backgrounds but other than that everything actually makes slightly more sense in the 3DSLL. you can see the borders/shading on her face,body,clothes, her subtle pink lips, her adorable pink fingernails(??!!), details of her accessories you couldn't see before..picture taking is a far more fun experience now, you see so much more detail when zooming and moving around reveals much more to your eyes..also when you unlock the wander around/gyro effect it performs softer and more in control. about the girl size, if the girl was a figma doll in the 3DS screens you now get a barbie doll size girl(or bigger) in the 3DSLL. now about the lower screen graphics of NLP, i think the graphics there are not that great. stuff like the dialogue box, text and some of the logos feel a little too stretched/pixely too.. it's not that bad as i make it sound but it's where the game actually feels like they have overstretch the images and graphics.it makes you feel the screens should have been just a tiny bit smaller(-10% smaller) and it would have been perfect.. what i enjoyed the most is the first part of skinship(after you install the 1.1 patch) it sudenly feels much more intimate, being that the girls are three times as big now means you can touch x3 more of the surface and the stylus obeys your movements more..though it's the same "no response" problem at the kissing part mainly cause of the game bug and not the console.. battery life is awesome in comparison to the 3ds, a whole day of switching it off/on and playing turns out I run out of battery before it did,lol anyway, it's great to play NLP in 3DSLL, it feels like you can now play the game in a mini laptop or something, but i still have my doubts about this machine, being that i like to carry the device in my pocket a lot i'm not sure i'll be transferring and keeping my 3DSLL device just yet,lol..

Gahh!! I'm so jealous I just bought a used Japanese ice white 3ds since the 3DSLL was so expensive... ughghg 8( I really wish I could have gotten the larger 3ds seeing all of the things you're saying about NLP working on it... Thanks for the pictures! Maybe one day I will have one!

nah, i'm sure it will be fine and you'll enjoy the game in 3DS,
the 3DSLL is great but my main problem now is that it's not very discreet and too gigantic for me and my delicate handsXDXD, it makes me feel a bit silly when i carry it I've already put it back in it's box and need to give it a bit more thought,lol...
but if you prefer your burger and French fries in XL sizes, it's definitely the device you'd probably like to consider,lol.

Maybe it's the distortion from the camera lens (or just me) but looking at them side by side the game looks somewhat stretched in height on the LL. More noticable (and more stretched) on the lower screen, but on the top one too (less stretched).

**pic removed** my bad, that picture was a digitally enhanced picture to put them together, I've taken a lot of personal pics that should be up here shortly..
taroup i can't be the judge of that for you,but maybe wait till the 3DSXL arrives for display at game stores in your country(if it hasn't already), but from my experience:
3DS: everything is as it's meant to be, it's more compatible to take with you in a pocket or a bag and the device's size is cute in a micro-cosmos kinda way and feels light and great in your hands.
3DSLL: is more for indoors and enjoying the 3D graphics at their maximum but the texts,dialogue boxes, and a lot of the graphics were designed "poorly" on purpose to be displayed on a smaller screen therefore they might feel somewhat exaggeratedly oversized. the device's size and weight might also become a problem during extended heavy playing. however if you don't want to miss a detail when playing the 3DS games it's makes everything speak with much more volume than before.

i must add that watching the dream events in normal mode and with full 3D on has suddenly become the most enjoyable experience i have had with the 3DSLL so far! they were so tiny in 3DS unless you watched them in book mode but now you get both the size and the quality, full picture in one screen and the new reworked 3D aspect of the dream events.. also the CGI that you receive are almost as big as one of the DS LITE screens if you look at them in normal mode in the middle of the 3DSLL upper screen while the mino-taro quality is so clear and great!
and the battery life is a real saviour!.. i put the machine down way before i get the urgent need to look for the AC adapter as the 3DS would suddenly die on me and jump from 2 bars to nothing in a matter of 7-10 minutes.
and wow the mat surface and materials are my favourite part, 3DSLL feels so much cleaner than my shiny and oily fingerprint magnet that is the 3DS, i haven't' felt the need to clean the 3DSLL just yet when i would have to clean the 3DS after a few plays seeing how it became so gross to me. it's like the whole 3DS is a screen you're not suppose to touch and it just imprints human oils so badly..

a nice fun detail i noticed, and might help people related to it's size is that the upper 3DSLL screen/lid is almost the size of both the DS LITE screens+gap together(book view), watching the dreams on normal view with the new re-worked 3D on looks exceptional here are some (night) comparison pics i took:

With all of these gorgeous pictures I'm gonna end up selling my 3DS in a few months and grabbing one of these XD Please keep the pictures/comments coming!! I'd love to know what you think even more as you play through!

i'm sorry if this messes with your excitement about your new machine but i'm sure you'll fall in love with it once it gets there.
in a few months maybe it won't sell so well an the prices will drop dramatically..also i'm almost certain konami will release 3dsll deluxe packages in the near future once they sort out how to get rid of all those bugs an re-release the game...

i'm sorry if this messes with your excitement about your new machine NEVER! Don't be silly!! Honestly - it makes me even more excited!!! X'D That's why I asked for more pics/comments whenever you feel up to it ^__^ it looks beautiful! I've watched videos of unboxing and such - not only does it look extremely appealing to me - but a big thing is also the matte finish ^0^ the fact that it won't leave oily fingerprints or something makes me happy. The less wiping/polishing of the handheld I have to do - the better

ok, it seems Rinko's weird skintone has suddenly stopped bothering me since it feels that looking at the bigger/stretched screen you no longer see everything just suppressed in one place(and the 3DSLL colours are just a little more "bleached"/more dull) and the bigger size helps you appreciate the actual work they did with the shading,lips and blushing etc, here is a good close up of the 3DSLL screen to see that although the streching the graphics are still smooth enough: also here is a picture of the Project promo graphics to see that they actually did deliver something really close to the image they had in mind if you exclude the shading: i also re-downloaded all the demo games they offer at the eshop to play and i must say that it seems 70% of the 3DS games look like they were actually build to play in a much bigger analysis but were compromised into the smaller screen size..games like the 'biohazard revelations' really do shine in the 3DSLL in a way they couldn't before..

Oh yay!!! More pics!!! Thank you!!! I can't wait till I get mine!! I ordered it today and I'm hoping play-asia doesn't actually take a whole week just to ship it. I paid express so it gets to me ASAP but I've been reviewing everything you said - and it seems the more you play on the LL the more good/nice things you have to say about it!! I dunno about "stretched" since I don't have the game in front of me to play, but from your pics it seems like the game is actually pretty amazing looking on the LL
