This may seem a little confusing as the original Nintendo 3DS XL launched in North America roughly two-and-a-half years ago in Aug. 2012. The "new" Nintendo 3DS XL is an upgraded version, though with new features and new controls.
The new model will retail for $199.99 USD (the first generation model is currently retailing for $30 less than that -- $169.99 USD -- on Amazon.com, Inc.'s (AMZN) sales site).
