The "new" redesign kinda upsets me. Why wasn't this the original 3DS or XL? It looks perfectly fine, and the covers remind me of the GBA Micro faceplates. But doing this type of upgrade is a big deal. Splitting the marketplace between those who have the new 3DS and those who don't is a bad idea. However, there is a reasonable chance this will do very well anyway.
NEW Nintendo 3DS (& XL)
- Thread starter Reindeer
- Start date
I AM SO CONFLICTED. ;_; I thought about trying to get an xl on sale this year (Had my eyes on the magical world one) but then they come and throw this in my face! If it weren't for that stinking c-stick I wouldn't give it a second thought since I don't care about anything else, but I'm scared they'll make exclusives for this. WHY WOULD YOU DO THIS TO US NINTENDO?!?!?!!?

Oh noooo :eyeroll:
That's like asking "Why wasn't the Game Boy Color the original Game Boy?" It's technological advances, however small they may be, that allows gaming companies to do this. It's that, and the fact that Nintendo tries to keep their systems in an affordable price range, meaning that as components become cheaper to produce Nintendo will allow them into the build of their systems. If they had released this exact model as the first version a few years ago, it would likely have had a price tag of around $400-$500 on it. That's just a ballpark figure, but I hope you understand what I mean.
And I know exactly what kind of commentary I might get on this.

Oh god. I don't think I will get it depending on the price.
Im definetely getting it. Basically just for faster speed 
Would you get a new 3DS at current prices? Because that's how much they're going to cost.

Wait so when will these new 3DS and 3DS XL release in north America?

Sometime 2015 most likely. I don't believe NoA has actually said anything about them yet.

Whyyyyyyyyyy nintendo :'(
I want to get it, but I only got my 3DS XL last year, and I don't think I can convince my parents to buy me the new 3DS unless my current one breaks beyond repair.

oh my god stop it's in a year, you have plenty of time
and it isn't even that expensive, about same cost as a regular 3ds xl
*cough*whackitwithahammer*cough*
I don't even know how to react to this.

It's not like they're forcing you to buy it. If you have a properly working 3DS. Then don't waste your money on this until your normal 3ds is broken or something. There are different kinds for different people.

Collectibles are for Sale
Suede Omega Ruby Alpha Sapphire Faceplates coming out in Japan. Does this mean they'll do limited edition faceplates instead of limited edition consoles?
^^this!
Personally I think the new models look great... but do we really need a new design?
The only things that are really new, is the 'Z' buttons and the downsizing to Mirco SD...
We've gotten on ok without 'Z' buttons this far... and how annoying having to move all your data from an SD card to a Micro SD card :/
Oh and there's the 180-Degree 3D-ness, but I don't use the 3D.
With that said, I think it's a great upgrade for people who own an older 3DS.
I highly doubt I'd be buying one though as I have an XL and visually there doesn't appear to be too much difference.
