NEW Nintendo 3DS (& XL)

[Reindeer]

I need another 3DS to self-trade Pokemon with in gen6 games anyways

Just use Pokemon Bank???

I'm kind of confused on why they would make a new system with exclusive games (as in, not like an just upgrade like the DSi was) when the 3DS isn't even 5 years old yet?

I'll probably only buy one if they announce some additional features that are amazing or games come out that I really want. I do hope this means another handheld AC game soon, though. If I do get it, I'll get the normal one because I don't really like the 3DS XL and I only got one because of the exclusive Pikachu version. The normal one is way more convenient and the XL feels way too big to me.

Actually on NL, what if they made a NL+ game that was New 3DS exclusive? Would this push any of you people undecided or decided against buying into geting the system?

If we could somehow load up the data from our already built town into the upgraded game, that'd be great. I wonder what kind of enhancements there would be though, since I've noticed little to no slowdown in ACNL to begin with. It's not like it's really CPU intensive.

Because. It's just. A 3DS.

inb4 people berate the system next year because they're butthurt over not having it

I would definitely get one of the 3DS's on Christmas or my birthday, but probably not on release date. There's also the system-unique games to worry/get hype about. It pretty much depends.

But we all have to agree about the side-viewing 3D thing that was a plus in my book

thats not trading and honestly after taking 2+ hours worth of errors dealing with that **** just to move over a single pokemon my thoughts on the bank are

"**** the bank"

Question for you all as a conversation-ish thing.

If you do end up buying this console are you going to get the regular 3ds or an XL and why?

I'm gonna get it and I'm probably gonna get the regular one due to the customisable covers :x Timtom tho.

Probably the regular because I already have an xl and the swappable covers look really nice.

People actually use the 3D on the 3DS for more than five minutes?

Like I've complained about to others, since the New 3DS XL isn't customizable I will be waiting for a nice limited edition before picking one up. By then they should have released a few games convincing me of the system power and hey free game included hopefully.

It looks nice, but I'll be passing on it.

Ok, maybe for the times someone actually uses 3D does it come in handy

 

[CR33P]

wait a minute i'm confused
is there going to be two versions of or/as, one for 3ds and another for new 3ds? or will it automatically just make it faster??

I PRAY FOR A WHITE 3DS IN NA PLEASE

There's still the normal 3DS/XL, and then they're releasing the "New" 3DS/XL, if that's what you were talking about.

no i was talking about the games
for upcoming games will it be split? like or/as for new 3ds and one for 3ds

because that would suck for us in the west

No, but OR/AS will run better on the New 3DS
Some future games will not be able to run on the regular 3DS, and will likely not be available for it

 

[LambdaDelta]

Unless Nintendo actually enjoys shooting themselves in the foot, OR/AS won't be New 3DS exclusive.

Nor will it have a New 3DS version, because that's just laughable.

 

[Trent the Paladin]

Where'd you people even get that idea?

so or/as and smash is just automatically faster and has the c-stick smash programmed into it already??
wouldn't they need another version for the new shoulder buttons and stuff

1. It would run better, not exactly "faster". Like how in Pokemon X/Y, battles with many Pokemon would lag with the 3D on, and sometimes even without. On the New 3DS, they won't lag because they will run better on it. If the game can keep a steady framerate, it will keep it on the New 3DS as well.
2. They won't need a new version, I'm sure of it

What I think Jawile is trying to say about ORAS is that due to the improved memory on the new systems, the game will run better than it would on a normal system.

For SSB, I heard that it is compatible with the new C-Stick, but will not be necessary.


But back to what I came to the thread for...
I am planning on getting the white 3DS so I can customize the covers. I think that with a white background, colors won't appear altered. Is anyone else planning on doing this?

if you're in na there's a small chance of white coming

They got that idea from the same place as the person who thought that old 3DS games wouldn't run on the new system.
