The last handheld I had was a n3ds xl, too, and that felt a little heavy then too.
I think you might just have weak arms then.
Most likely the case
Oh well take it out of the case then
I read somewhere, maybe reddit, maybe here, someone used an articulated tripod for tablet to support their deck for them. It could be a solution for you, at home.
We have something like those in the house I think. Those ones that clip to a table and is a bendable arm.
Yeah I mean the 3DS XL is not a heavy system by any sort of comparative standard. So it makes sense the deck would feel heavy.
Personally it doesn't bother me, but I do still often prop pillows under my arms as support for long sessions. You might try that.
