Nintendo Gamers on the go can now expect positive news to a new handheld console from Nintendo this July and August.

Nintendo announced the Nintendo 3DS XL, which has a 90 percent bigger screen than the original 3DS portable gaming console.

"The Nintendo 3DS XL still featuring the same glasses-free 3D system, and Nintendo 3DS XL expected to last even longer on a single battery charge than the original 3DS," .

Nintendo 3DS XL screens measure 4.88 inches (upper) and 4.18 inches (lower) is added against the original 3DS' 3.53-inch upper and 3.01-inch lower screens.

PC World also say the XL has similar control configuration as the 3DS and lacks a second thumbpad.

"We'll be very curious to see whether the larger body of the 3DS XL can accommodate the Circlepad Pro accessory that was released for the 3DS to allow players more control over 3D games," it said.

The 3Ds XL is expected to be priced $199.99, about $30 more than the current $169.99 of the base 3DS.

Nintendo also announced its New Super Mario Bros. 2 will launch alongside the 3DS XL in August.

They also mention other titles for the 3Ds and 3Ds XL including Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance, Professor Layton and the Miracle Mask, LEGO The Lord of the Rings.

Another report on GameInformer.com said the Nintendo 3DS XL will include an AC adapter in North America but not in Japan.

However, it said other adapters from other Nintendo console can be used for the new device.

GameInformer.com said this new handheld will come in colors of Black, Black-Blue, and Black-Red on August 19 in North America for $199.

It releases on July 28 in Japan and Europe
