So I have the Yoshi 3DS XL and I'm getting the new 3DS XL in April. If I do the transfer via the digital option will I still have to unscrew the back plates in the back and do anything with the micro sd card?? This worries me..

Eww
I bought a red New 3ds XL. It's amazing 
It's super lame. NoA said it's to avoid confusion for the consumers. NoA thinks all Americans are dumb. yay.
and how is the new 3ds xl any less confusing than the new 3ds ??/?//

I love everything about the New 3DS XL, except that is has auto-brightness, meaning it's screen adjusts it's brightness by determining the light level around you. My screen would randomly get dark when my light level never changed nor would I have moved.
I just ended up turning the auto-brightness off cause it was getting super annoying. I'd rather just manually change it when I feel like it.

Honestly, for anyone in NA. I would give up hope yet for a regular size 3DS.
At the gamestop I work at, daily we have to pull up the news page to tell us what's going on for the week or whatever. Tells us about things that are on sale, new items, etc.
Well just a few days ago I pulled up the news page and it showed how to transfer your data from old to new. (We have to know in case anyone asks.)
In the demo video it showed a regular English 3DS and how to transfer it. And it showed demos on transferring it to both the new 3DS and the new 3DS XL.
So I mean. That should mean something. Also, I asked my boss about it and he said when he went to his meeting out of town they were talking about that, and it's been rumored they're going to release it. So I wouldn't give up hope yet.
Personally I like the XL better. But I know some people have tiny hands. ;P

Absolutely no clue. I guess if you are American and have two new options instead of one your brain will implode.
I like the colour scheme for the N3DS XL (One entire colour rather then Blue/Black, Red/Black, White/SeaGreen). Though I'm not interested in buying the N3DS because I already have a 3DSXL and I recently purchased a 32GB SDHC already. That'd make me have to go and redownload all the games again ( my bandwidth ;-; ) as well as buy a new SDHC because they couldn't be consistent with their storage (Got SD? lolol MicroSD now) I also like the colored buttons on the N3DS, looks nice to see as well as the movement of the start/select button back to being the old DS layout. Cartridge placement, eh. No more bums clicking your game out in the middle of playing the game anymore. Stylus placement, not a huge fan of it. I like it being on the side, as well as the fact its longer on the old 3DS compared to the new 3DS. Not a huge fan of a second analog, but hey I hope its working out for those who are using it. Last thing I can think of, Internet switch no longer exists. I like the convenience of having it there but now that I have to go to the menu to toggle it on/off it throws me off. Oh and I just remembered. You have to unscrew the back to get to the storage device, I hate having to do that but assuming you'll only swap once then your good to go. If you're constantly removing your MicroSD card then you'll have to unscrew that backpiece every time.

Good god, is there anywhere in the US that has them in stock or are they just universally sold out everywhere? Has Nintendo said anything about sending out more?
Since the West Port Strike incident is still affecting Nintendo's shipment of New Nintendo 3DS XL at the moment while the company produces a rather limited amount of them, these could be the reasons why such hardware along with amiibo and GameCube Adapters are ridiculously difficult to obtain lately.
I pre-ordered a Black N3DS from Best Buy. There was a big mess concerning the company and how they went about everything {long story}. I've had it for a couple of days now. I really like it and plan on buying MM sometime in March to really take advantage of the system. The 3D really has been optimized, and the face tracking is pretty neat. It lets you test it out whilst setting up the device, and you can see how the face tracker works. While I wouldn't say it's absolutely necessary to get this upgrade if you already have an XL, I would definitely advise getting this if you're looking to get an XL for the first time.
-location of game slot {bottom left}
-C-stick in upper left portion of the inside bottom section
-2 new shoulder buttons: ZL & ZR
-the Home button is now just the house symbol
-Start and Select appear below the X, Y... buttons instead of besides the Home button
--To add, all 3 Home/Start/Select buttons are now much smaller
-stylus is on the bottom right section, instead of on the righthand side
--the stylus itself is different enough that a normal XL stylus does not fit into the N3DS stylus slot
-power button is now on the bottom right section, instead of on the inside bottom section
-volume slider is connected to the top screen, on the opposite side of the 3D slider {i.e., volume is on the left side; 3D is on the right side}
-Volume slider clicks when you turn it all the way down -- like how the 3D slider does in the XL {and the N3DS}
-no WiFi switch that I can see
--also, 3 of the indicator lights {power, charging, and WiFi} are on the bottom
-the device, I think, is slightly shinier than a normal XL
--fingerprints show up close but not from a short distance

The adapters are pre orderable again.
at least they were yesterday. They might be sold out again.
But another thing is that people didn't see a reason to pre order the new 3DS. So when it came release date people thought they could walk into gamestop and buy one.
Which was wrong. My gamestop got one extra and we sold it instantly. So shipments just haven't come in yet.

Managed to snag a Majora's Mask edition
Does anyone know if the new 3DS's can utilize the bigger micro SD cards (64GB and above)? On the Nintendo site it says they only "tested" up to 32 GB cards.
