Nintendo’s 3DS handheld console, which gained notoriety for its no-glasses 3D, is now getting a XL upgrade.

Bigger screens usually translate to a cut in battery life, but Nintendo allege the battery life “outperforms that of the original Nintendo 3DS.”
An included 4GB SD card will allow users to store content (music, movies, pictures) on the 3DS, in addition to games they download from the Nintendo eShop.
Nintendo will also be releasing Super Mario Bros. 2 on the 18th of August, available as a digital download or the traditional retail package.
