 out here again, and I am here to bring you a very special unboxing video. This is the new Nintendo 3DS Ambassador Edition, which was announced about a week ago for European, for certain European club Nintendo members. Um, Nintendo has not said what the requirements were, were to be eligible for a copy, but I did, I was one of the chosen, one of the chosen people, and I ordered mine, and it arrived yesterday. And here it is, and I'm about to bring you an unboxing of it. Um, first of all, let's start with the big box. This came out of the normal packaging, it actually fit very snugly, like the mailing box was made, especially for it. The sides are all aligned with a new Nintendo 3DS Ambassador Edition, and the back as well. Um, over on the back here, this is where we can open it, so let's get this open. Right, there's a little lip here to open it up with, but I won't be using that, so this just slides out easily. So, the box is very loose, very big. Obviously it was an all-round packaging for the bundle, which actually includes three items, and here we can see them once we open these up. Here is the 3DS itself, comes in its own box like every other DS or 3DS until now has. Let's see if we can get a focus shot on here. Right, come on camera, please. No, you don't want to work with me. There we go. Right, front cover we show the, it shows the new Nintendo 3DS with of course the special front panels that you get with it. The side shows some information, more information, more information. On the top it explains what this means, which is basically Nintendo written in Japanese. In Japanese, Nintendo is written as Nintendo, I think, I don't know, I don't speak Japanese. Here's a rough explanation of what these characters mean, and trust Sky and Company. That's a nice little detail that they added that, and I like that a lot. On the back some information about the new Nintendo 3DS, what it can do, what the functionalities are, including amiibo functionality. Right, let's put that aside for a while and show off what the rest of what's inside. Here is a charging cradle. First of all, this is to put your 3DS in. The original 3DS also came with one, which looked like this. You would put your original 3DS in here, and insert the charging cable in the back, and then if you placed it in it would charge it, so obviously this one's like that as well. Although this one is very slim, obviously. And the last item included in this box, which seems to be kind of hard to get out. Come on. There we go. Right, here we have the faceplates that came with it. These are Smash Bros. exclusives. Obviously a top one and a bottom one. They do show Link quite largely. Ah, crap. No, the dam set up. They do show Link quite largely, which is of course awesome. No real other Zelda characters that I can see from here. Smash Bros. logos in down there, which is very cool. I like these a lot. They look very nice. Right, I think I'll start unpacking things, starting with these. All right, that just clicks open like that. You should be able to pull these out. Yep. So this is basically a piece of paper and some plastic, which easily unlocks Nintendo being nice and actually giving easy packaging. So faceplate just comes off along with the other one. It seems these come with screws, the back plates, as you can see. So that's interesting. And of course a manual as always. I will put these back in the box immediately because I don't think I'm going to be using them. I might be using them later on or trying them on someday. But for now I'm very happy with the faceplate that they put on immediately, well, on by default because those are very nice. Moving on to the battery stand or charging cradle. The package obviously doesn't come with an actual charger, which is kind of strange. But they did that with new 3DS, with the excels as well. Not the new 3DS XL, but the normal 3DS XL. It's a kind of a tradition for Nintendo to do that nowadays as because of charging laws in certain countries. Here's a small little box, kind of stylish with the pattern on the top. Up here it says easy charging and compact. Inside is a manual, basic box, opens easily. Here's the charging cradle, as you saw it wasn't a plastic. Later I'll show you how it fits into here. It seems to be a slight hole for the lights. And up in the bottom here you put the cable, which you need to buy separately, or if you're like me and already have one, you can just put that one in there. And just lead it through here. Yeah, that's pretty nice. Seems like it should be a nice little fit. And now of course to the main deal, the Ambassador Edition Nintendo 3DS, new Nintendo 3DS. God, I love that writing. And over here we have the main box, and let's just get it open. Start with the back here where of course like always there's a little flick we can open. Inside there's a handle. Let's just pull this out. There we go. Right, starting off well. Here we have a manual with AR cards, which seem to be the same as the old ones, so featuring a tune link. Add a quick start guide and two more booklets obviously. I'm not going to take these out because they're quite boring. Right, seems kind of strange packaging. That one quite easy. Okay, here we have the first faceplate, which is separate for some reason. And over here we have the console. Oh yeah, okay. Get the set of the packaging here. Okay, let's get the faceplate out because I kind of want to put that one on immediately. At the bottom of the faceplate there is a behind the faceplate I should say. There is safety information about the console because that is not featured on the back. The back already has a Nintendo logo. Oh, that's beautiful. It's so glossy. So let's put this in here. Should insert quite easily. Yep, clicks in place. That's very easy. Right, main features of the new Nintendo 3DS are the two extra back buttons. The charging port is here. The game cards get inserted here. Stylus is over here and the power button is right next to it. If we open it up, slightly larger screens than the original 3DS as I have heard, but I'll check that in a minute. Color buttons which look very pretty. The buttons feel kind of different I think. 3D slider is over here again and the volume slider is over here which is a change. Home button over here starting select on this side again. Kind of popping out touchscreen as always. And here's the C-stick which kind of feels rough. It doesn't really feel like this kind of stick. It's more like a piece of rubber that kind of sticks out more like a button. Must be sensitive. Right, I think I'm going to complete the setup on the console and the transfer from one console to the other and then I'll show you what it's like on. Right, the setup and transfer is complete and I thought I'd do a little comparison between all the consoles that I own, all the DS consoles that I own. I do not own a 3DS XL so I cannot compare size with that, but this is also the smaller version of the new Nintendo 3DS, so I thought I'll just compare it with that. Right, I threw in the original DS which was released very early on before the Wii somewhere in like 2004, maybe 2005, something like that. This one is very old. I dug this up from a box somewhere. Never really used it anymore. This is a very blocky thing. Very, yeah, blocky, basically very rough around the edges. This is the DS Lite which was the second console to be second DS to be released, which was slightly smaller and slightly sleeker in shape. I was very young when I had this one. That's why there are stickers all over it. Forgive me for that. Here is the Legend of Zelda Ocarina of Time 3DS which was released back in 2011 or 2012. I'm not sure exactly. As a bundle with Ocarina of Time 3DS, this is the original 3DS back when it was released first. This is my version. Over here obviously we have the new Nintendo 3DS which I just unboxed. So let's get this one on. There we go. That's the Lite. Should flicker on. Turn off the 3D obviously. Yep, as you can see my transfer was completed and my amazing home theme was installed as well. I apologize for not having any Zelda themed home themes. I just liked this one because it was goofy. No games are inserted at the moment. So here's that one on. Let's turn this one on. Power button is down there. That one should just turn on. See if this one still has power. Yep. There's that one turned on. And let's hope this one has power. Yep, this one has power as well. Not that much, but it still has power. Right. To compare the screens, obviously the screens of the original DS and the 3DS are different. The new 3DS seems to have a substantially larger screen, obviously, but this is nothing to really compare with. This is just in there for fun. Same with the DS Lite. Screens are much bigger on the new Nintendo 3DS. So if you're moving from here, great step up. I'll do a size comparison as well. Obviously, slightly larger. Let's see if this one is larger. Here it seems that the old DS is larger, with the new Nintendo 3DS being smaller, although it's kind of hard to put that in camera. I'll close them up and put them on top of each other as well. That's what they look like compared to each other. Right. Now moving on to, of course, the original 3DS, which is the main comparison part. Here's my other home theme. I spent too much money on them. Right. Screens are slightly larger. I mean, it doesn't seem like much, but they do seem a little bit larger. I can't really prove that perfectly, but the whole console itself is clunkier. Closing them up, we can certainly see a difference in size as the new 3DS is a bit wider, thicker, well, broader, and thicker. Well, is it thicker? No, they're about the same thickness, but on top as well, smaller. The old 3DS is smaller. Yeah, the console runs really well. I personally think it runs quite well. You can use the C-stick to move here as well. It is very sensitive, so you don't need to put a lot of pressure to move it, which is nice. This also works on Smash 3DS to use Smash moves, which are the A moves. Also, it should work as a CirclePad Pro. Yeah, that's basically the new Nintendo 3DS, as I can see it at the moment, with some comparisons. Maybe not too many. I'm sorry if I disappointed with you with that. I'll quickly put it into the charging cradle, so you can see what that one looks like when it's in there. And there you go. That's how it fits into the charging cradle. This is how the old 3DS fit into the charging cable. Let's get these old machines out of the way. Obviously, a large difference. I personally prefer the new 3DS's style of holding while charging. That's just my personal opinion. Yeah, that is the new Nintendo 3DS Ambassador Edition. Very beautiful console. I very much enjoy these faceplates, and the console runs very well to my experience. While editing, I realized that I hadn't shown off the amiibo functionality of the new Nintendo 3DS, so that's what I'm here to do right now. The way you can access the amiibo is by dropping your stick, first of all. No, you don't. You go to the home menu settings, scroll down past all the change theme stuff, and here's amiibo settings, specifically for the amiibo. Clicking on that will open up a separate area in the settings, where you can register owner and nickname, and here you can touch your amiibo to the screen, obviously. So I'm gonna put down my 3DS and show you how that works. So I have my two amiibo, the two currently released Zelda amiibo. Basically, all you do is grab your amiibo. Successfully read amiibo. I didn't even need to I didn't even need to put it on. Okay. So you can also hover it above your screen, obviously. I'll just show you again. Take your amiibo, place it on. Successfully read amiibo. There you go. Very cool little feature. I named. And same here. This is not the same amiibo. So it does also recognize that. Zelda amiibo works as well. There you go. Successfully read amiibo. And there you have the information of my Zelda amiibo. Right. That's about it for this. Thanks for watching. Check out more on zeldinformer.com and I'll see you guys next time.
