I like where they placed , start and select button on the new 3ds - should be a hole lot easer in game play .
I can be hard on the original 3SD XL to use these buttons fast in game play .
C Stick looks cool also to, although was the cartridge at the back where the R botton should be ?
Are was this not the case ?, from images I have seen ...
PS: as GW mention, "Do not" Update beyond that latest firmware 9.2.0-20 e/u/j est
yeah it's alot easier. too bad Pokemon ORAS doesn't even use the buttons. start and select have been remapped to X & Y. though yeah I've got a new 3ds and the buttons are much nicer there. I use them when I want to soft reset ORAS.
the c stick is cool, quite responsive. the cartridge slot is at the bottom in front of the unit, next to the headphone jack. it makes it easier to switch games and see if there's a game in without having to maneuver the system around to see and access behind the screen.
