Another revision already? It's the same system just a little beefier. I'm also not liking the idea of exclusives, what about the people that have already bought a 3DS, XL or 2DS?
They won't play the new New 3DS games ;A;

Correct most people won't buy it, but it's their choice not nintendos, and it will probably be a similar scenario to the
GAME BOY COLOR
Where some games aren't enhanced, some are enhanced, and some are exclusive.
NOrmal GB games, GB Deluxe games, and GBCC Games.
It never becomes natural. At least on the N3DS the stick is really close and it's more of a trackpoint than a slider, as Psionic Roshambo accurately noticed, I think. I believe it won't require a large range of movement to function, it's close to the buttons so you don't have to move your thumb too far, but it's far enough not to cause accidental input.It becomes natural after some time, depending on the game that you use this for. Some games may not even be all that good to use this method on.

Remember those?
I think they're trying too hard to make the system compact when it would just be "better" with two analog sliders - there's no question about it. It'd add a centimeter or two to the system's width, but it'd do wonders in terms of user comfort. I'm also not sure if I like the shoulder button arrangement, but they had to arrange them horizontally rather than vertically so that the thickness doesn't increase. Choices, choices - love them design choices.This is probably the best they could do with out doing a massive redesign.
I kind of like the idea but at the same time I almost think they should have saved these changes for the next system.
Should work good enough for what it will be used for.

I hate the current trend in electronics to make everything as thin as possible - it started in the late 2000's and it's still stupid. Thin doesn't mean "better", thin just means "uncomfortable to hold, shit battery and no space for ventilation". A little bit of thickness doesn't hurt. For instance, the 3DS XL is far, far too thin for me to hold comfortably and the original 3DS is almost too thin, but I at least have a CPP for it to fix that problem.On the shoulder buttons, yeah my JXD is great for PS1 games. But those side by side shoulder buttons throw me off every time. I got so used to them being on top of each other like the PS1 that there is a huge learning curve and it never feels right even when you do get used to it.
I think they should make it more of a wedge shape to allow top and bottom R and L buttons and a little wider like you said to allow a better circle. Since the system would be slightly bigger you would have more room for a bigger battery. All things players would love.

I can't imagine a Nintendo handheld console not being rectangular at this point - they always have been that way, aside from the original GBA (which was a GREAT form factor, but wouldn't work well as a clamshell).Seems like ergonomics was a lesson left in the past. We are going back to the NES controller in terms of form... lol
Edit:
BTW Nintendo my pointer fingers are still bent from the NES.... You bastards... lol
a.k.a. The Nipple.Remember those?
So portable = uncomfortable? I don't think so - it could do with at least 0.5cm more thickness, that'd improve the grip.a.k.a. The Nipple.
Yeah the standard 3DS is a bit on the thin side to hold/play with, but if it were any fatter it wouldn't fit so easily in whatever pockets I happen to be wearing. Portable!
Remember those?
There you go then. By the looks of it, the N3DS is the same sort of deal - it's a bit "too" small for a slider with an assembly, I think it's one of those nubs.remember 'em? I'm using one right now. I love the nub on my laptop. I almost never make use of the touchpad because I love my nub; I kinda want to get a keyboard for my desktop that has a nub built in with mouse buttons under the spacebar. It's really nice for programming allowing me to move the cursor around without having to remove one of my hands from the keyboard.

Yep. They're pretty much SOL, as I'm sure if Nintendo has their way, the so called "exclusives" will probably phase out the standard 3ds games REALLY quickly, and everyone that owns a standard 3ds will be sitting dead in the water only a few years after the initial model's release.
Can Gateway 3DS counter by over-clocking our systems or spoofing the games into thinking we own a N3DS. I'm not in the position to buy a new console but can make room for a Circle Pad Pro XL if Gateway delivers. The N3DS will probably be on latest firmware or a completely new one with more security against exploits.
Yeah it's a dumb idea, but the comparison doesn't look alright.Single stupidest thing I've read on this forum. That's like asking if a gamecube exploit can trick the system into playing Wii games.
Exaggerating (a little) for effect but still. Some of the stuff I see posted here, like "someone should make a homebrew remake of majoras mask" was another one. just makes me cringe.Yeah it's a dumb idea, but the comparison doesn't look alright.
Judging by the price difference, the upgrade must be very minor.
