This Nintendo 3DS XL is in full working order for gameplay but has a few technical "personality traits" that you should be aware of before buying. Please see the detailed breakdown below and refer to the photos for cosmetic condition.
The Good-
Tested & Working: The console powers on, reads game cartridges perfectly, and connects to Wi-Fi.
Screens: Both the top and bottom screens are bright and responsive.
Hinge: The hinge is solid and holds its position well.
Important Functional Notes-
Charging Port: The port is loose and does not "lock" the charger in. To charge the unit, you have to hold the cable in place or angle it slightly.
Charger Advice: This system still works perfectly with a 3DS XL Charging Cradle (not included), which bypasses the need to plug directly into the port.
Bottom Buttons: The Select, Home, and Start buttons along the bottom of the touch screen are stiff/hard to press. They do work, but they require a firm push to register.
Cosmetics: The outer shell (top and bottom) has heavy scratching and scuffing from regular use. The interior is in better shape but does show some light wear.
What You Get:
Nintendo 3DS XL Console (Red/Black)
Stylus and charger are NOT included.
Summary:
If you’re looking for a 3DS XL to actually play and aren't worried about some surface scratches or a finicky charging port, this is a great entry point. Perfect for someone who already owns a charging dock!
