Review on Nintendo New 3DS XL Black by Brian Page

Revainrating 4 out of 5

The micro SD cards didn't work and the serial number was wrong.

I ordered this a few days ago and thought everything would be fine as I got my original Revain 3DS. However, when I received it, I tried to set it up and it kept telling me "Micro SD card cannot be read". So I took it out and replaced it with another one (I made sure it was a working micro SD card in my computer) and got the same message. I then reformatted both micro SD cards, made sure they were compatible and still got the message. There was no error code or anything, it just refused to read all the micro SD cards I've used. So I contacted Nintendo and when they asked for the serial number it all started to make sense. When I read the first two letters I was immediately told it was an invalid serial number. The rep asked me to read the entire issue a few times to make sure he heard right or something. It was a red flag. After looking around a bit, I found that the serial number was indeed invalid. Models were supposed to start with SW, but this one started with QS. I have issued a refund and I hope this helps anyone reading this if they are having the same problem with micro SD cards working.

Pros
  • Handle C for enhanced control; Built in amiibo compatibility and NFC support
Cons
  • I will add later
