The ZL and ZR buttons come from the Circle Pad Pro. All the functionality of that thing is now built-in, so that's where they come from. It's for use with games like Monster Hunter and SSB4.
NEW Nintendo 3DS (& XL)
- Thread starter Reindeer

It bothers me that the power button is at the bottom. I keep thinking that ill end up hitting the button against my body an then it turns off the power. Also I find the game card at the bottom strange. Anyway I also won't be getting this new 3ds though as I already have 2 3ds systems and recently bought my second one.
With how securely the game cards are placed it'd only be possible if you're pushing on it.
Also, I doubt Nintendo would have moved the power button down there without thinking about how to minimize the amount of systems turning off because of it. It's a portable system after all, so that'd be one of the design challenges. The power button of the Vita is on the outside but that doesn't constantly get turned off. Unless you're literally leaning in on the system, it won't turn off. And if you're leaning in on it, what the hell are you doing?!
i too am worried about turning off power button but maybe we can fix that, what if it gave you a prompt before it complated the turn off of unit like ARE You Sure you wanna turn off unit Yes B No A. if you say no then back to game play u go.

Can relate. My 3ds is only around a year or so old. My mom's is even younger than that. Will be waiting a couple of years before getting one. By then, who knows if that game will be around
. So it might be a case of getting the game and waiting, depending on how much they charge for it.

What they're responding to is the whole idea that people who bought an XL feel "cheated" for whatever reason.
The more I see of them, the more I keep telling myself that I need to stop pretending I don't want to buy one. Honestly, I had zero interest in buying one when they first came out, but they look super awesome.
Too bad my piggy bank disagrees. I don't think I'll be willing to fork out unless it really was a next generation console.

New 3DS XL special editions.
I know it doesn't exactly fit this topic, but it's starnge that Nintendo is still making specail editions of these and not focusing on the New ones.

Do remember that these were made before the New 3DS was announced. Persona Q has been out in Japan for a while, which the limited edition was designed for. Since the New 3DS won't release in the west until 2015 it also makes sense to release an SE for SSB4 like that.
Even if this turned into a flop (spoilers: it won't), the chance of Nintendo going bankrupt over it is nil. If Nintendo were to go bankrupt, it'd be about two or three console generations from now.
I guess it's for the collectors out there? Or the people who don't follow nintendo news. I've seen people post pictures of the unopened boxes of special editions, it gets pretty intense.
I think the one that looks like the NES looks kinda cool, but I definitely wouldn't buy one though.
I wouldn't mind if it wasn't for the fact that you can only play Xenoblade Chronicles on the new models.
