It's coming to Europe so it'll come here.

oh hell no
I knew as soon as I saw this that jmv would be a little shit about it
i think it looks really nice (aside from the start/select buttons) but why the hell did they have to add new controls that make it a pain in the ass for everyone that already bought a fucking 3ds
i don't regret getting mine since it's so nice, but dammit nintendo
I like the colored buttons and the faceplates tho, and I think old 3DSes will still get those menu themes which is p. nice
This is the stupidist decision nintendo ever made if only for one reason...
Its another version of 3ds, with the same fuckin name (with new added) and it will have its own games that wont work on old 3ds.
So basically, its a new handheld and its going to face the same problems the wii u had. Nobody is going to know thats its a new handheld.
Great fuckin job
So does this mean that the 4ds will be coming out in another year or two?
And I guess I'm a little glad that I didn't buy a 3ds earlier this year like I was thinking about doing.
No. It will be a refined version of the new 3ds in less than a year called the new 3ds WiiH8U

yes but at least every ds version was essentially the same console. The only exclusive games were for dsi and they were barely games.

because i don't want to have to play the next handheld castlevania by dragging ___ belmont across a touch screen with my index finger
the smartphone is not the smart answer to all handheld gaming, it's a different platform for certain games and many games would not fit said platform well

i guess i shouldnt be, as i do want to upgrade my 3ds, but i bemoan nintendos marketing tactics
plus those dsi exclusives were only available on their eshop so you didn't have the potential to buy a physical game only to realize shit's not gonna work without a new system (or circle pad pro)
Why are the face buttons coloured??? Why does Nintendo have no foresight? Why does Nintendo like to cause more fragmentation than Google?

Yeah, except for the dsi (that did have quite a few differences compared to the rest of the ds line) which this sort of revision would be more akin too.

Lol, theyre ok i guess
seriously nintendo should just have held off for like 2 more years and just released a totally new system
this update would just be great and without shitty implications if they just didn't put that c-stick and 2 extra shoulder buttons on it

Oh, I forgot about buttons. Guess you have a point.
They would benefit a lot from making games for smartphones though. There's probably huge demand, and it's also the fastest growing platform.

Well yeah, newer technology and they can do more things with it. But it's still in that same vein. The dsi added cameras, and a shop, and it apparently had added more ram and a faster cpu than the ds lite. And as noted had exclusive games/content to it. (However limited that might have been.)
The dsi seemed like basically half a 3ds, and this currently revision will probably be what shapes into their next handheld line. (Unless they do another revision.)
The world will turn to Satoshi.
QuoteA faster CPU is also included - and in fact will be required to play some new games

the revisions again, are not my problem. It's the overall marketing strategy. It's no different than the wii u. I mean, I'll buy this, because I need to upgrade anyway, and this will be the perfect time, but its not a good idea in terms of trying to sell the thing to new owners

it's a retarded move to people who have already invested in high capacity sd cards and want to upgrade. they may be cheaper now, but again, this is just another sign of nintendo lacking any sense of foresight beyond 'please by our heap of plastic, we're begging you'
Good: improved 3D, analog nub, less weight, faster home menu, colored face buttons, NFC, DS-like Start/Select placement, plates, smaller size model keeps the design improvements that 3DS XL had over 3DS
Bad: switching to microSD, worse stylus size and placement, volume slider on the lid like the 3D slider, game card slot placement
I'll probably buy one of these new model systems, but I'm unsure whether I want the smaller or larger version.

I actually think the volume slider up top is better, it's symmetrical and it also means you won't accidentally change the volume as I've often done with my 3DS and DS Lite
also I don't think the XL has face plates
I might get one eventually because they do seem very nice, but I'll hold off for quite a while I think, unless for some reason there's an exclusive game that I just have to get or something

My favorite volume control so far is the one DSi had: just +/- buttons. It doesn't slide around accidentally, it's easier to adjust by one volume unit at a time, it feels less fragile, and it can control brightness too.
It seems that Nintendo's design intention was to move everything away from the sides of the system; that's why they moved the volume control, shrunk the stylus holder to vertical holder, removed the wireless switch, and switched to a behind-plate microSD slot. Although it makes sense that they'd do this to improve the faceplates, I don't like it.
I've never wanted to play a system while docked. The docks have never been a good stand for playing off of (it's not tilted toward you like the Uprising stand is), so just holding the system feels better. I think this vertical docking is better for desk space.
IMHO, the PSP has the best volume control. Not only is it +/- buttons, but it also clearly shows you how loud your system will be on the display.

yeah I can get behind all that. I do like the faceplates though, but having everything on the bottom edge looks very odd to me, especially the power button.
But yeah if I do get one of these I think i'll get the regular-sized 3DS and that dock would be nice to have
is the new xl slightly larger than the old one too? it's sort of hard to tell, even with the comparison with the new normal model

Although it's slightly thinner, the two other dimensions are larger enough that the new model has in total 0.77% more volume when closed. Its screens are exactly the same size as before.
The smaller version, on the other hand, is noticeably larger (+19% volume) than the original 3DS and has screens which are 11% larger as well.
