Some pokemon evolve by trade so unless you have a friend/sibling with a 3DS and another copy of pokemon x/y, having a spare 3DS is handy
Source? While I definitely would want this, we're not sure if the lag in the 6th Gen games are caused by hardware limitations or if they actually made the game run slower through coding. If it's the latter, then it'll run the same on both versions of the system.
Same :9
But um it makes me think of a mixture of DS lite and 3DS. With the power and start buttons.
I prefer where the start button is on the 3DS because it's easier to not click on it by mistake ;-;
I don't like this new placement D:

Am I the only person here who isn't pumped up by this at all? I mean, the new features are nice--especially for upcoming games like smash bros. But I have a Fire Emblem 3DS and I held out on getting a 3DS for months so that I could get it. I am not pleased with the idea that I'll have to use another 3DS just to play new games.
Holy **** I didn't read well, and oh no I don't want to buy a new DS JUST to be able to buy the games I want.... It's not like this version was that different from the 3ds...

I prefer DS lite start/select button placement because its far quicker to work with
so lel
also I kinda loathe the power button being on the face of the system, so that being moved is a plus to me as well

I just kind of assumed it was hardware, since lag was uncommon on 1v1 battles, but when the number of Pokemon increased, the lag goes crazy.
Hm... A friend of mine is considering getting a 3DS XL so I guess I'll tell her to wait until this comes out. I'm curious as to how much this new version will cost, given that the "old" one is already expensive enough, haha. Personally I don't see myself buying this anytime soon. I just checked and I ordered my 3DS XL on August 12, 2013; so I've had it for only a year now. But I guess it'll depend on what games will be only for the new system (the Xenoblade Chronicles game looks cool, actually, but it's not something I'd absolutely want).
I swear I read nintendo said something about not making the same system with different specs as it would confuse people lol What are they going to put on the shelves now, they had to put that notice on all adverts saying "this is for 3ds and not ds" because people were stupid enough to buy a 3ds game and wonder why it didn't work on their ds. Now it'll be my 3ds game isn't working on my 3ds.

Most likely getting this, the L button on my 3DS is broke anyway so time for an upgrade. 
I just hate the name, worse than "Wii U". 3DS Ultra would have been better.

oh my god calm down it's a year later
im at a loss here why are some people mad about this can u help me understand? (foreal). I'm looking at this in hours spent no system and i mean no system i have played has got more hours from me i got my moneys worth im happy, and im thinking about,
the upside here Nintendo is not branding this as a new 3DS (hence the lame new name) but they want u to look at it as a upgrade.
But we will need to see if that holds im guessing space world in OCT (Japans E3) will give up more a clue what they intend to do,
with what i call 3DS 2.0 (lol still better then new 3DS am i right?). What im hopeing for out of this is a Slew of new (and old) ideas
that will push the system into the Gen world. With this new Browser apps (like real Apps on 3DS could be something we might get 1 day) Granted would like things like Pandora or Spotify. This may also make older games happen to Like (GBA games *crosses fingers* ) Most likely N64 games like Majora's mask and Donkey Kong 64. Overall i think this is a bit of a setback but i think we are getting more then we are loseing if we just look at this as a whole.

I did not get most of that but what I did get was a wee bit contradicting..
sure thats point really kinda how people feel right (there all over place) some like it some dont. What im trying to do is get people to look at what nintendo is really thinking and not just to focus on the shiny ball being waved in there face. At this point there Deep DEEp (game system life cycle wise) into the 3DS . They have something else they wanna do and i think Space World will give us the clue. and is it wrong to wanna listen to my music on my 3DS i dont think so ( 
)
)
I'd rather listen to my music on an actual music player that can hold more than say 100 songs, but hey
yeah i was thinking of Streaming but DLing Songs for 3DS guess that bings up a whole new isshue. from a stand point of a APP dont think it would be hard to put on 3ds they already have Netflix and You Tube and Hulu why not Music.
It's different enough to be able to play games that would lock up current 3DS models. That's good enough for me.
I hope it is hardware limitation, but at the same time you'll have to remember the GC games played on the Wii and Wii games played on the Wii U still lag all the same. The most that changed were the games' loading times. Time will tell.
As for Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, I wouldn't be surprised if they were made compatible with the New 3DS to run better. I'm not saying exclusive, just able to recognize and tap into the extra power available. Kinda like how the Gen 5 games had those (honestly useless) DSi-exclusive features but could still be played on a DS/DS Lite.
The same 3DS games cases, with it clearly saying "ONLY for NEW 3DS" or something similar.
Or go back to the good old days, when people were also too stupid to figure out which games were compatible with which Game Boy, making Nintendo print on the back which systems it could be played on.
Like this.
I agree with this. It's a weird standard to hold things by, but I often think that for every Euro I spend on a game, I want to have at least one hour of fun. There's some exceptions here and there (shorter/longer playtime yet still thinking it's worth it), but that's what I generally gauge it by.
I've put 1100 hours into ACNL alone. If I double that to account for all the other games I've played, I can see the €250 I spent on my XL has definitely been worth it. Getting this new system would open up a larger library for me to play, and I'd continue playing my older games on it as well. If anything the New 3DS is worth another €250 to me.
Not telling everyone to hold their purchases to the same standard, but it's something to think about. Keep in mind that this system won't laugh for at least another half year, and see how much that affects your decision.
Has it even been confirmed there's going to be another Space World this year?sure thats point really kinda how people feel right (there all over place) some like it some dont.

Even if it has been, don't jump to conclusions. Don't forget that the shortest wait times were between the GBC and DS, with three years wait time between GBC and GBA and another three between GBA and DS. It took seven years for Nintendo to replace the DS. With this new version of the 3DS, all they're proving is that they want to keep the system alive. It's selling well and they don't want to introduce a new system yet. It would be especially stupid if Nintendo presented us with an updated build of the 3DS, then immediately turned around and said "yo entirely new handheld coming next year". Nobody would buy the New 3DS, because the handheld system coming shortly after could play all the exclusives and more.
It's been three and a half years since the 3DS was introduced. With it pretty much starting to rival the success of the DS (which, to remind you, was on the market for seven years), it would be poor business sense to think about releasing a new system in the coming year rather than supporting what's already out.
Source plsTHEY ARE DOING THIS SO THEY CAN BRING OUT A NEW EXCLUSIVE ANIMAL CROSSING TO THE CONSOLE SO WE HAVE TO SPEND SO MUCH MONEY
Please don't do this to me, Nintendo.
