Lets confuse parents with more revisions of the same thing!

 

[lismati]

What changes do they bring, besides uglier design?

Also, I wonder if the bottom screen will still scratch the upper one, just like in normal 3DS models.

 

[EMegamanu]

God, why did they did that for the first release of XL model ? =__=

And I do not understand the "faster" part. Will be some games exclusives to this new revision ?

What changes do they bring, besides uglier design?

New triggers buttons, better screen (?), R stick, NFC

In other news, Nintendo has merged with Microsoft in order to create the next gen console, the xbox3DS

 

[Sychophantom]

Looks like Nintendo is taking a page out of Sony's book with the PSP and just making new hardware revisions for the hell out it

 

[CathyRina]

It actually looks nice and has a second slide pad! fucking finally!
But I already have a 3DS so not buing it. This version should have happened when they were releasing the 3DS XL and not now.

Why is the second analog so tiny?

 

[CathyRina]

Also, I wonder if the bottom screen will still scratch the upper one, just like in normal 3DS models.

[Arras]

Oh, the Start and Select are now in their DS Lite place once more. Yay.

 

[GameWinner]

Wait.
I might buy this because of the increased CPU. Xenoblade is also being ported exclusively to it.

 

[hypertek]

this is probably in response to the hacking development going on.. probably more hardware protection that left the current models more vulnerable

I just finished to watch the Nintendo direct, and this actually looks awesome, No more blurry Screen when you turn the 3DS, C-Stick + LZ RZ, Faster Wifi, Faster CPU, Interchangeable Covers, Big MicroSD, PC-3DS file Browser, etc..., makes the first 3DS look very very outdated.

 

[Technicmaster0]

Seems a bit like a DSi for the 3DS.

if you put it that way... I gonna buy this and let my old 3DS getting all the homebrews and whatnot.

 

[Snailface]

If they're smart, they'll include a mandatory update on first use. (like xbone)

hope not

i think you forgot one last feature:

-Patched with the latest FW for all of you ungrateful Flashcart Users

 

[Terenigma]

This is the 3DS console that should of been there from the beginning, the second analog is long overdue. The rest of the changes im on board with, they all look great but its too damn late! Im not buying this to replace my current 3DS and im sure everyone who was on the fence about buying a 3DS before, got one with the XL. Are you really in a position for making ANOTHER console Nintendo? Really?

 

[Mulder_RLZ]

Well. Not buying this one for now... Let me enjoy mine 4.5 first then will see. This will arrive in the West right?

 

[Keylogger]

3DS
3DS XL
