A second model of Nintendo 3DS, the '''Nintendo 3DS XL''', was released on July 28th in Japan and Europe, in North America on August 19th, and in Australia on August 23, boasting larger screens than the original Nintendo 3DS. A third variation of the 3DS, called the '''Nintendo 2DS''', was released on October 12, 2013 in all regions except in South Korea and Japan where it was released on December 7, 2013 and February 27, 2016, respectively. It is considered a reduced-cost Nintendo 3DS, with a flat design rather than a clamshell design; requiring sleep mode to be accessed through a switch. It also lacks the option for 3D visuals. | A second model of Nintendo 3DS, the '''Nintendo 3DS XL''', was released on July 28th in Japan and Europe, in North America on August 19th, and in Australia on August 23, boasting larger screens than the original Nintendo 3DS.

However, in North America, only the New Nintendo 3DS XL has been released at launch. The standard-sized model was released on September 25, 2015 in special bundles such as ''Animal Crossing: Happy Home Designer''. Both models have [[Z button|ZL and ZR]] buttons, a [[C-Stick]], more powerful hardware, different positioning of some buttons, automatic brightness depending on surrounding light levels, and 3D visuals that can be seen from a wider range of angles. Custom faceplates are available for the regular New Nintendo 3DS, but not the XL version due to size difference. The New 3DS also has built-in [[amiibo]] compatibility, whereas the original 3DS models require an adapter to interact with the figurines. A subsequent revision, the '''New Nintendo 2DS XL''', would be released in mid-2017 worldwide, featuring a slimmer, streamlined design without the 3D visuals of previous variants. | ||
