It is the fourth system in the Nintendo 3DS family of handheld consoles, following the original Nintendo 3DS, Nintendo 3DS XL, and Nintendo 2DS.

The New 3DS XL also boasts a larger screen size compared to its predecessor, offering a more immersive visual experience. In 2011, 58-year-old former Sony employee Seijiro Tomita sued Nintendo for infringing a patent on the 3D screen that obviates the need for 3D glasses.That said, the upgrades to the 3D capabilities in the New 3DS XL alone make it worth either upgrading or as a purchase for those dipping their toes into the world of the 3DS for the first time. It was a portable table-top system consisting of goggles and a controller that used a spinning disc to achieve full stereoscopic monochrome 3D.
