And with a dozen more first-party games coming this year alongside a brand new version of the hardware, it’s difficult to ignore what this little machine has to offer.”

Make sure you’ve got a #0 Phillips screwdriver ready as you’ll need it to remove the backplate on your New 3DS XL during the process.”
