If you don't already own a 3DS this new version is a no brainer. It's sleeker, the 3D is improved, it has an extra (tiny) analogue stick and it has more powerful components meaning it'll play games like Xenoblade Chronicles 3D, (the original 3DS will won't play it at all).

This older model of the 3DS XL is a bit cheaper than the New 3DS XL when you can find a model in stock. The 3DS XL was a favourite for years before the 'New' series arrived. At this price point the 3DS remains as strong a product as ever.

The best Nintendo 2DS deals...

If the 3D aspect is not for you, you can get a Nintendo 2DS for cheaper. The 2DS is a great way of entering Nintendo's handheld family without spending much money, but we're really talking to kids and parents here. Parents of clumsy children have praised the flat design that removes the need for those pesky breakable hinges of the original models.

It's that excellent lineup of games that makes it even easier to recommend the 2DS. With a generation of kids familiarising themselves with quick and easy games like Angry Birds, it's important for Nintendo to show them how much better gaming can be. The 2DS is a hell of a lot sturdier than a smartphone or tablet too.
