Nintendo 3DS – How to Change the Screen Brightness on Nintendo 3DS

nintendo-3ds-3dsxl-2ds

I got a New 3DS XL today and have been playing Super Mario World. It's great but I find the screen a little dark. Is there any way to brighten it at all?

From Nintendo Support:

  • Select the HOME Menu Settings icon in the upper left corner of the HOME Menu.
    • Nintendo 3DS, Nintendo 3DS XL, and New Nintendo 3DS systems: This icon looks like a wrench, a sun, or a home with a wrench superimposted over it depending on the system menu version.
  • Below "Screen Brightness", tap on the desired brightness level.
  • If using a New Nintendo 3DS XL, be sure to turn "Auto-Brightness" to "OFF" or the system will automatically reduce the brightness levels based on environmental conditions.
  • Tap "OK."
