I was thinking of getting a New 3DS because my old one is falling apart and I like the performance of the new ones. Are there "normal" New 3DSs or do only XL ones exist?
A normal sized one does exist, and are available. I don't know how easy it would be to get a hold of one, though.
Personally, I actually recommend the XL. I used to use my old, regular sized 3DS, before I got a N3DS XL. It was awkward at first, but i've grown accustomed to it. The bigger screen is really nice. I can't go back to the regular size.
