It appals me that people are defending this new model. Dont get me wrong, I'm not mad because its a new model, just because its a new model with games EXCLUSIVE to it. The DSi had EXCLUSIVE FEATURES but we could play all of its games on the other DS (at least to my knowledge (the ones that matter?)).
People need to open their eyes and not let themselves get jewed up by nintendo with this bullshit.

Fuck you Nintendo and your exclusive Xenoblade game between your own handhelds. Next time just launch a new handheld all together.
The DSi had its own games (one about facial expressions, one about monsters and...that's it). They still sucked, but it had.

I'm way too attached to my old 3DS to get another one. I hope Xenoblade will be the first AND last to be "new 3DS" exclusive.
And I feel that second analog stick will be very unpleasant to touch.

The Exclusive games does seem like a trick to get people to buy a New handheld but system upgrades are always welcome especially when they try to improve in some way......

$orny shoulda done the same with the Vita Slim.....I mean they REMOVED one the best things bout it the OLED screen :gun:

Hum... I might actually get one of the New 3DS models (I hate the XL one cause it's too big).
And personally, I find that not having a second circle pad at all and having that tiny one, are pretty much the same thing.

Because they're forcing consumers to pay for a slightly updated version of the same console just to play a few new games?

forcing is a very hard word. thats like saying sony forces people to pay for a console just to play their exclusives.

if you dont think the content is worth selling your old ds to finance a new one, then dont.

Seriously you people...

Glad to see you have a portable Wii/Pc that you can store in your pocket.

Seriously you are'nt the target audience of this game. It's who people who want to play xenoblade on a portable console.
Xenoblade is not exclusive because of controls, it's exclusive because the new 3DS has slightly better hardware.

It's flat out not playable on older 3DS models, regardless of the add on.
Okay then but I still can save 20€ by not buing a second Slide pad pro addon since it's already implemented to play my MH.

Although I didn't see the demo of a swap-able shell. if it did have one with black and white together, instead of buying the shell separately in another package, I'd be on board for buying one....

Also, the timing is right for the additional sctick (!) since R.E. Revelations (& R.E. Mercenaries) just went on sale from Crapcom here in the West... and I'm sure eventually elsewhere.... That means no circle pad Pro.. (or even amateur)...

RSE "expanded the game formula" in more ways. Abilities are huge, double battles are the preferred mode for official championships,
In short, it brought the most new content to the franchise and was able to expand on the game formula before it got stale.

Platinum is a runner up though.

I still don't get it.

RSE had abilities, double battles, contests, secret bases etc.. every gen adds features and game mechanics.

I understand that there was big post-game, but it was rushed and incomplete (also due to size limit. which was done properly for HGSS), but that only made the main-game way too shrot and easy (which stayed that way in the remakes..). I mean Lances pokemon lost like 10 levels.

The battle frontier of emerald alone was better post-game than all of it in GSC.
Damnit, you make me defend gen 3 games lol.

GSC was like the closest to a being a sequel that's actually considered a new generation despite of it..

At least this time theres noone who can blame low sales on parents being confused.

great but weird look, does it have bigger resolution, can it track head movement, and what does l2, r2 do? And NFC like the wii u gamepad?
Do we get exchange(of course extra fee) with our old 3ds/ 2ds/ 3ds xl?

RSE had shit AI until the Elite 4, shit music, shit overworld, and shit Pokemon. Double battles are useless and only helped bring forth further dumb modes like triple battles and rotation battles.

In the direct Iwata compared the buttons to the SNES's pad ones and the second analog stick to the Cube's pad C-stick. I think he hinted us that on this new 3ds we'll have a new virtual console supporting snes and gamecube games

Exchange rates and European prices will raise the costs of the new 3DS more than you think. The 3DS XL costs about £107 in Japan, while the same console costs £169 in Europe (Amazon.co.jp vs Amazon.co.uk).

Alas, I'll be waiting to see if anything worthwhile comes along. If the New 3DS is indeed a completely new console, it's going to need some sales boost (also a new name if the console is indeed called "New 3DS/LL"). Good to go with a normal 3DS and an XL at the moment :)

Man... You are comparing companies trying to compete with one another with their consoles and exclusives. Nintendo is just competing with themselves
