they're both coming to japan in october. they have additional ram, a second tiny analogue stick, 2 new trigger buttons, and an nfc sensor under the bottom touch screen. oh, and the new 3ds xl seems to be able to take micro-sd cards. honestly, given the current amount of 3ds systems sold i expect this to be like the original nintendo dsi - small adoption rate, with the new features being focused on in the next console iteration (whatever is after the 3ds). |
| Supporting micro sd cards is cool. o_o |
| A tiny second analogue. Pfft. What is this, Gamecube all over again? |
| I was waiting for a redesign. Now I can finally switch from my 2DS to one of these. The CPU is also stronger and it looks like it's gonna get exclusive games like the Xenoblade port that can't be played on a normal 3DS. Also the faceplates look amazing. Reminds me of the Gameboy Micro. |
 |
| Absolutely pathetic. Why even bother including the 2nd analog? Make it full sized, or not at all. It's like Nintendo wants to fail. We've wanted a second stick forever and this is how they deliver? Sigh. |
| Is there a special reason to buy the new one, if you already possess a normal 3DS ? I do not think so ... |

There are going to be exclusive games that are only going to work on this one. Nintendo might as well just stop making regular 3DS games in a year because this one has better hardware. Unlike the DSi, this one is a major update. And maybe some older games are going to work better on it, since some games experience huge framerate drops when the 3D is on. Personally, I'm not that happy with this, as I'm forced to buy another 3DS next year. Unless a lot of games I like are going to be exclusive to the new 3DS, I'm not getting one. Still need to get a Wii U. |

| Really excited about the second analog stick MH4U here I come! |
 |
| What about the battery (life)? Better, worse or equal? |
| Don't buy this, it's nothing more than a sack of corporate tyranny -It comes with no AC adapter -The browser is censored and requires a credit card to unlock (this is not a porn/hentai system btw) -Current 3DS users will be required to buy one since all efforts will be focused on it soon, screwing millions of 3DS users. -Announced too soon (I hear comparisons with the GBC all over the net, you must remember,the GB was antiquated by the time GBC was out, the 3DS is relevant beyond belief) -Faceplates are only for the standard N3DS, not the N3DS XL/LL This thing is an overall disaster that shouldn't have happened, Nintendo should've either released this 2 years from now or released a new handheld altogether. This thing was rushed out because Iwata wanted to save his bacon and is scared of being demoted or being sent into retirement. Nintendo your actions have sent you back 3 decades. |

|
| Yeah kinda saw this coming, especially since the second analog stick was a highly requested feature. I am really thinking about getting a 2DS though, as I rarely ever use the 3D in my XL. |
| That tiny analog stick looks like a pain in the ass to use. |

Not buying this at all would kill Nintendo. There's really no need to upgrade to it until at least 2016 or 2017. and some people have a regular 3DS, so buying a New 3DS XL would be a good option instead of a regular XL. Nobody forces you to buy it right now. And how is this a bad idea if it's got a better processor which would allow older games to run better? There are games that work like crap with 3D on, so this could probably fix that issue. For example the frame rate drops in Dead or Alive Dimension when you turn the 3D on, and it's really noticeable. Perhaps the New 3DS would make this game run without frame drops, so that's a pro and good reason to upgrade when you can. Now, if this doesn't affect old games, and doesn't make the 3D work smoother, there's no reason to upgrade until there are enough games. |

This flop won't kill Nintendo, which is a good thing, but they still need to feel the pain for releasing a system like this too early and poorly. Iwata can now be forced into retirement, he's shown to be a corporate tyrant, a horrible decision maker, and he's trying too hard to dodge cultural expectations, stop delaying tradition, you're 54, it's time to prepare for retirement, just step down or retire early. |

Its more powerful than the 3DS, allowing for certain games that otherwise couldn't to be ported to the 3DS. Xenoblade Chronicles in particular is a very rare game, and with a port to this new 3DS, many players will finally get to get a copy of the game for a not so insane price. From what it sounds like it also has more buttons. Also the 3DS has been out for 4 years now. Its not out of the question that they'd make a semi replacement ala Game Boy Color. Also why do faceplates matter? As for the censorship, that does suck but its only like 3 cents anyways. Hardly an expensive price to pay to get it uncensored. I can understand people's issues with it though; it really sucks that current 3DS owners will have to replace their system in order to play certain games, though this does open up the possibility for more powerful games to be put out. Its also great for people like myself who never bought a 3DS. I planned on getting one, but now that this has been announced I can just wait a little longer. |

About the censorship, they poorly implemented it, that price is nothing, it's the credit card requirement, I import and unlocking would require a JP credit card, if it was just 30 yen that I could use existing funds that I already had in my digital wallet it wouldn't be a big deal. There's no way this thing is region free either. |

| Jesus, people just love to complain about Nintendo :/ No one is asking you to buy it and they'll still continue support for the 3DS. From a game developer's point of view, no way in hell will they screw over 44.5 million potential customers to make a slightly better looking game. Xenoblade is a powerful game and needs a powerful handheld. It's just a port of the original game for Wii U so handheld gamers are lucky to even get a release of it. |

I don't trust Nintendo, they just pulled 1980's-1990's corporate tyranny on the consumers, you can only expect the worst in the future. The only way I'll be reassured is if Nintendo themselves say that only ports, shovelware, and e-shop games are going to be New 3DS only. |
|
| At first, I didn't care about this. But then I realized that the price of a regular 3DS XL shall go down. Now I care about this. |
| Damn Nintendo, at least make it Region-free. |
| ...And the gaming world errupts in anger as a handheld consoles gets yet another model... Much like the last 50 exact same situations to take place over the past decade or two, I'm indifferent to this New 3DS. I have got my original. I guess I'll see what exclusives it gets, but I'll probably just keep rocking the OG until it melts. |
| This was announced together with Xenoblade 3DS and Bravely Second? |
| They say the Jew fears the Samurai, but I'm beginning to doubt that, there are certainly some happy merchants in Nintendo. I'll just keep a tight lock on my shekels and hope they don't release any game I want exclusive to this new shit. |
| The regular new 3DS looks pretty cool. However, to be forced to abandon my Zelda 3DS XL and buy one of these, it would have to boast some incredible things. So far, some better features don't cut it. It would need awesome exclusives. I've noticed some of you say this is going to replace the current 3DS, but you're an idiot if you think that. Notice when the PS4 and Xbox One came out that games were STILL being made for the PS3 and Xbox 360? This is because developers knew that more people had the previous gen consoles than the current. This new 3DS is not going to sell like the PS4 and Xbox One so the majority of portable Nintendo games are going to continue being made for the normal 3DS, not the new. This new 3DS is another DSi attempt. P.S: I've seen the news that there will be a Xenoblade Chronicles port for this new 3DS. I'm not excited. Not because it's a port. A graphically upgraded, 3D port of one of my favorite games would be fucking awesome. Except this game won't be graphically upgraded; at least from what Nintendo's shown. On the contrary, Xenoblade looks like horse shit on the 3DS. It looks significantly worse than its Wii counterpart. I've played both on the Wii and PC. I can't settle for a graphically shittier game on a less comfortable platform just because it'll be portable and in 3D :/ |

| Damnit Nintendo, i don't wan't to buy another 3DS just for Xenoblade. i'll just wait for the next Nintendo which will be backwards compatible with new3DS games. |
| Nintendo is slapping the customer's face again! One thing is to bring a revised version, another thing is do this and start to bring exclusive games like Xenoblade (and to be frank, the second analogic should be since the first version). This is basically a new console, not a revision. I really fear which another titles like Mario, Monster Hunter and Pokemon become exclusives of this version of 3ds and IF Nintendo do this, I will consider not buying a Nintendo console for a long time. I already paid too much for 3DS XL because Nintendo don't care for my country and I'm not buying this new version. All people know the greediness of Nintendo: Resistance in giving price cut (no wonder Zelda Skyward Sword STILL AT FULL PRICE), outdated hardware in comparison with the main rivals, bad membership program who is available in a few countries and horrible prizes (One virtual console game for gold members!? Just one after an entire year!? THIS IS A JOKE!). Its ridiculous, also, charging the customers just for the removal of a damn parental filter in the web browser. |
asume5 said: Damnit Nintendo, i don't wan't to buy another 3DS just for Xenoblade. i'll just wait for the next Nintendo which will be backwards compatible with new3DS games. My guess is, they'll do that deal again where you trade in your 3DS or 3DS XL And get 50% off the new one. I feel somewhat troubled that Xenoblade Chronicles is ONLY for the New 3DS, as while it is a 'new' model, it's still a 3DS. If the new CPU is going to make such a vast difference that the new model can run the game, but not the old one they might as well begin plans for the new Nintendo hand-held system. If they do the trade-in deal, I might give it a shot. I'm curious about this new 3DS to say the least, so I want to see what exactly it's like in my own hands instead of waiting for reviews. If not, I'll just stick with my 3DS XL. Already own Xenoblade Chronicles for the wii, so don't think I'll be missing much from a port. |
Touch me, you filthy casual~ |
| Unless some really cool games come out for it I won't be getting it. I have a regular 3DS and am perfectly happy with it. The faceplates look kinda cool but they're not worth getting a whole new system for. I just hope that overtime regular 3DS games will keep being made and not be completely replaced with games exclusively for the newer handheld. |
| I still think it's ridiculous that they are releasing Xenoblade Chronicles on the "new" 3ds only I hope they don't do it for any more games, which I have a feeling they probably will. |
