Happy Nintendo 3DS Day August 20, 2012

Yesterday, the Nintendo 3DS XL launched in North America.  In honor of that event, gamexcess.net is announcing that today is 3DS Day on the site!  The Nintendo 3DS XL is the newest version of the Nintendo 3DS, which sports a larger screen and longer battery life than the original Nintendo 3DS.

If you’re like I was, and was really curious just how Nintendo was able to create a 3D device without the need of special glasses, then I would like to draw your attention to this video produced by Clan of the Gray Wolf, where they talk about the technical specifics behind just how 3D works, and what Nintendo has done with this new device.

We will be doing plenty of coverage about the Nintendo 3DS XL for the rest of the day.  You can expect unboxings and how-to videos for the new device to be coming over the course of the day!

The Nintendo 3DS XL is out now in North America for a price of $199US.  If you’re upgrading from a previous DS or 3DS device, I recommend checking out this page for the information on how to transfer all your currently existing game data to a new device.
