Double trouble

New Nintendo 3DS and 3DS XL

Everyone loves a thumbstick, which is why Nintendo’s bunged a second control wiggler on to this update of its all-conquering handhelds, albeit in exceedingly nubby form (can’t work out where it is? It’s the little grey circle, top right). Other tweaks include extra shoulder buttons, a faster processor (the upcoming Xenoblade Chronicles will, confusingly, only run on this), screen improvements such as an enhanced upper display and eye-tracking for optimised visuals, plus compatibility with the Skylanders- esque Amiibo figures (below) without the need for a peripheral.
