I'm getting this... The 3DS is way too small and its plastic looks rubbish compared to that. My only question is.... Ambasador games ? Will I be able to keep them ? :/

Well apparently it is possible ! From another forum here's what I found :

Software transfer lets you transfer everything from one 3DS to another. This includes eshop data, ambassador games, purchased games, saved data, etc.

i just hope this adresses the 3ds biggest issue which isnt a second circle pad its the screen scratching even newer 3ds still get effected by it...

The screen scratching is easily avoided by a barely noticeable set of screen protectors (or a repair from Nintendo). The second circle pad is only fixed by a clunky, awkward add-on that practically defeats the entire purpose of "portable" in the modern definition.

Idk about you, but all that considered, I still say the lack of a second analog is still a much bigger problem than the screen scratching.

Only problem is feature is useless when current 3ds is sold, i wish all data was stored on thier server or settings so i don't have to keep my old 3ds around, plus i have extra stuff on my dsi xl too and i need to sell both of them to afford the 3ds xl in the first' place gah!

Will there be any major change in the hardware apart from the screens?

6.4 hour battery for 3DS games.

jalaneme · Jun 22, 2012

I hope that the volume is not a slider like the normal 3ds and is a rocker like the dsi xl, also i like that nintendo has put seperate buttons for the home and start buttons, should have been like this in the first place, i also pray that the mic is in the middle like it should be.

Guild McCommunist · Jun 22, 2012

...And no second analog stick.

Have fun rebuying a Circle Pad Pro that's even larger than that previous monstrosity.

Here the new Nintendo releases:

NES LL

3DS with 3G network:

Anyway, I'll get it only if people report that the battery last at least 6 hours. (ok ok, I'll never buy it then)

Where did you get 8-10 hours? That's for DS games, not 3DS games.

It does.

Lube_Skyballer · Jun 22, 2012

Don't underestimate the benefits a bigger screen. Many people here (non-DSi XL owners) look at the 3DS XL, the bigger screens and react like; meh, bigger screens, so what?.
A bigger screen really immerses you in the game. I'm not saying the 3DS immediately sucks, I'm only saying the 3DS XL will supply an even better game experience.

Agreed, my 3DS lasted 4 1/2 days on standby with wifi on and no Nyko battery.
And damn you Ninty!
Edit: Waking up to this is kind of crappy, but at least I'm going to Six Flags, regardless, I might buy it.

I see that they haven't fixed that screen thing issue. That just means a bigger mark when you close it =.=
I'm not getting this. Wait for the next revision after it

How do you see that?

jrk190 · Jun 22, 2012

Dude... What thee hell is this?!? This looks like the generic 3DS crap that you see at the drugstore for 10 dollars. Oh, and how far do you have to look back? *yells to friend* Hey, can you hold this on the other side of the room so I can find the sweet-spot in the 3D! Oh, it's not even going to be portable. I bet it weighs a ton. Gosh, this just pisses me off. If there's a new 3DS, does that mean I get to be an ambassador? Because my 3DS is pretty much Obsolete now, except that I can take it places. Jeez, I just.... It really pisses me off when Nintendo does this sh*t...

I hope the 3d effect is not lost, there is no indication as to what the 3d effect will be like with a bigger screen?

Click to expand...

I somehow doubt they would release a 3DS revision which has lost the capability of displaying 3D.

I think he means he hopes that the 3D will be just as effective on the big screens, ie it won't get diluted in any way
