Well I have the standard black preordered with $100 on it. But I won't have the rest until taxes come.
And I don't wanna use my credit card cause I already have 1k sitting on it. XD

same here. i'm not getting another 3ds. i like my XL just fine thank you.
feel for ya bra
lol america
It's a relatively bad decision on NOA's part, sure, but somehow the regular version must not have figured into their business model. Maybe try contacting them, start a petition or something.
Heck no. I don't even use the 3D function, battery life is good enough for the 3DS XL, I HAVE ENOUGH BUTTONS THANKS, and I dont like the placement of the cartridge slot.
So no. The only decent feature that is actually worth giving a damn about is the file swap between PC and New 3DS. But I can do that already by posting on Facebook so...

And the new games will eventually be N3DS only.
You post your game data to Facebook?
So interestingly enough, even though I thought I didn't get a preorder of the new MM 3DS, I did. The $200 payment doesn't get withdrawn until 3 days or so before it ships. Anyway, if you preordered at Gamestop or had trouble doing so and you aren't 100% sure you got a preorder, just call them. Better to know and be ready than have $200 withdrawn from your account when you aren't ready for it.
Hmm... How'd I get that around America?
NOA said that for their market, releasing the XL is the more logical choice. Producing units of the regular N3DS would mean they would be losing money. In Japan, the N3DSXL has been selling three times as much as the regular version. That gap might have somewhat less, the same, or higher in North American territories.
As for why it is coming out in Europe, I think that may have to do with Oceania and Europe sharing the same region. NAL released the N3DS in Oceania before solid sales figures could be taken from Japan. Europeans are already importing systems from there, and it'd skew their sales figures even further if they continued. NAL would have a crapload of N3DS systems sold, while NOE shows that N3DSXL sales are subpar. Game sales wouldn't be affected by this, as Australian 3DS systems can run European games and vice versa.
The money goes to the same company, but we know that Nintendo uses sales figures to figure out what the consumers want. They also do this with Club Nintendo (and probably the upcoming replacement). That might change their plans for a next system, or even their plans on what to sell where.
Of course, I'm just theorizing there.
And of course, there's nothing to stop Americans from importing a regular N3DS from Europe. However, it would get very expensive if they wanted a decent library of games. None of their NA copies would work on the new system, and all the N3DS-exclusive/-enhanced titles, they would have to import from Europe. It all adds up to be a huge investment for those people, and I doubt many would actually go through with it if they thought about it logically.
Important question: Has anyone done a transfer from an Animal Crossing Limited Edition XL to a new 3DS XL (the one that was released on Friday here in America) and had their AC data corrupted? I've heard horror stories about this and I'm scared to do it today.
It's not a physical copy though it's digital because that's what came with the system.

I feel fortunate that my friend let me use one of his XLs to transfer my data to so I could sell my XL to GameStop and preorder a New XL. That being said I truly don't understand what the difficulty is in transferring data over. Sure you have to unscrew the back cover to get to the microSD, but that's more tedious than it is difficult. Has anyone here had problems transferring?
So I went from the aqua 3ds to this new nintendo 3ds. The screen is bigger but honestly other than that I dont see what all the hype is about. Will see what the next generation hand held has as to me..this is an upgrade obviously but not A MUST HAVE.

I know for me is that the one thing I love about the new 3DS is that the 3D doesn't hurt my eyes. I had the aqua one too and I never had the 3D on because it strained my vision a lot.
