It's pretty much a bigger screen by 90% the only bad thing I can say about it is that the resolution doesn't change at all during games, so if you play a 3DS game on it, it's going to be the same as it was on the original 3DS so it might look a little choppy. It's comfortable to hold, and has a bigger stylus, it's meant for people who have bad eye site, and bigger hands. When I mean comfortable to hold I mean it's alot comfortable to hold haha, it's uses a softer back than the original 3DS.
