Nintendo announces new 3DS LL for Japan and 3DS XL for the United States

For the people who do not have the child-sized hands to play Nintendo's 3DS comfortably but still want to play Nintendo's latest games, your wait is finally over. Nintendo announced yesterday that they will be releasing a successor to the DSi XL/LL, the 3DS XL/LL. This new offering from Nintendo will be called the Nintendo 3DS LL for Japan and the Nintendo 3DS XL for the United States. The new 3DS XL will have a 4.88 inch top screen and a 4.18 inch bottom screen. The new 3DS's screens are more than an inch bigger than the regular 3DS's screens and it comes with a 4GB SD card. In Japan, you can get the new 3DS LL for 18,900 yen (around $237.38) on July 28th in white, red and black, or silver and black versions. In the United States, you can get the 3DS XL for $200 on August 19th in red or blue versions. The new 3DS XL may not be a very compelling option compared to the likes of the Playstation Vita, when you get better graphics, better games, and better game play at only $50 more with the Vita. We personally own a DSi XL and this still does not seem more compelling to buy over a Playstation Vita. If you are a Nintendo fan, then this may be your next handheld console to buy.

A New Leaf

Hello everybody; it's been a while. With school, work, and my extracurricular activities, I haven't had as much time as I would have wanted to spend writing. In the two years since I've last posted, I was vice president, president, and varsity captain for my high school's Academic Decathlon team, went to the California state Academic Decathlon competition twice, was a student commissioner for my city's Parks and Recreation Advisory Commission, a speech coach for Chinese students learning English, earned my Eagle Scout rank, and was accepted into my dream school, the University of California San Diego. With that in mind, I'm also about to graduate high school. I wasn't the speaker that my high school teachers were looking for as graduation speaker, but I thought it would be remiss if I did not say anything. My original speech would seem a bit out of context as an article, so this is a slightly abridged version. "Throughout my high school career, this...

Review: The SpongeBob Movie: Sponge Out of Water

It's 7:15 at night. The sun has been below the horizon for quite some time, but it is not yet my bedtime. I go to the cashier and ask her if they are showing my movie. She gives me a puzzled look, checks the queue, and luckily finds the tickets I am looking for. After asking my age she assures me that I have nothing to be ashamed about, nothing to fear. I then pass through the doors and embark on a journey I have been waiting for more than a decade to begin. Back in 2004 Nickelodeon, Stephen Hillenburg, & company released the very first feature film of the SpongeBob Squarepants franchise: The SpongeBob Squarepants Movie . The cartoon had been around for less than five years at the time, and many people did not expect much from its box office release. However, it did do very well for a television cartoon movie grossing more than $32 million opening weekend and receiving average scores of 66/100. This might sound mediocre compared to Oscar winning films, but this is incredib...

Hands-on with the Nokia Lumia 1020.

Smartphone cameras have drastically changed in the past few years. Most smartphone cameras have improved so much that most people use their smartphone as their main camera. Some companies have decided to make  cameras with fewer megapixels and better sensors , while most smartphone manufactures have improved their cameras by adding more megapixels. Nokia is one of these people and they have proven it even more with their latest smartphone, the Nokia Lumia 1020. Look and Feel Nokia's Lumia line of handsets has some of the most unique hardware on the market.

Nokia pioneered the unibody polycarbonate design, and is pretty close to perfecting it. Their Lumia line is full of beautiful, colorful, and unique polycarbonate bodies. The Lumia 1020 does not stray too far away from its siblings. The 1020 comes in three gorgeous colors; matte white, black, and yellow. We ...
