I like this idea

...you will laught, but I had to double-check that. :rofl2 I forgot it was moved from the hinge to the lid, my bad.
3 years later, late 2014 release (which will be 2015 for US/EU), still 240p display, a horrible second analog, and by the way xenoblade drops frames like a bitch I'd say a very minor hardware improvement.On it being too soon... are we not in 2014 where new mobile phones come out every year and, give or take this last go around, massively improve year on year?
That's not how this works...
Of all the qualities you could pick, you chose one the DS Lite certainly did not have. I do like Super 3DS though - good name.
1) make your first revision barebones with no features whatsoever, making it so competitive in price it will most likely be successful (nintendo realized the 2DS should have been the original 3DS, when they announced it)
2) get game developers on your side, grow a library
3) now with your established brand on the market, make a revision adding in features that were needed since day one
4) force people to buy it by making revision-exclusive games for it
5) in the long run, it's actually much more expensive than purchasing a single feature-rich system once if you consider buying 2 models of the 3DS compared to, say, the vita
This has the potential to become a new pattern in the console process. Why sell a system only once, if people are willing to buy it several times over the course of a generation under the threat of "hardware revision exclusives"? "System exclusives" are not worthy enough hostages anymore, it seems.
A similar case happened with the DSi too, right? Except the DSi came too late when nobody cared about it/had no time to establish itself, I guess they are adjusting their shot at forcing people to buy several systems per generation.
Boy, modern nintendo sure has been walking the modern capcom route.
Something worth noting: the vita suddenly became much cheaper than the 3DS, as existing customers won't have to own a second system to play all the compatible games. Guess I'm done using this argument in the favor of the 3DS now.
Maybe I'm overlooking, but I don't remember seeing a profile download feature on my 2DS. If I buy one of these consoles, and I have digital downloads, that means that I can't use them via my old profile on the new 3DS. I'd have to create a new profile specifically for the new handheld, which means that I can't access my previous digital purchases. Right? Or is there a way to have my profile/purchases on multiple devices?
its very easy to change themthe interchangeable faceplates look really cool though. I've wanted to switch that panel on the 3DS XL, but tear downs reveal it's very difficult.
Which one to you chose?
Super 3DS / LL / XL
3DSi / LL / XL
New 3DS / LL / XL
or.....
Isn't that what the system transfer feature does?
From what I've read system transfer moves data from one handheld to another, as if you're changing your 'main' handheld, and it's all done locally, yet it's limited. I mean something like the ability to share content between them, similar to how the Xbox 360 limits the sharing to the profile. So if I bought something in console A, the purchase is locked on the profile and the console. Console B would just function with the profile since no purchase was done there.
I ask because if I buy one of these new handhelds I don't want one as a 'main' handheld. I'd like both of them to be that way.
Nintendo only lets you have one handheld and one WiiU, unfortunately. I think it is kind of silly considering how many versions of 3DS there are. You might have for example a 3DS on the go and XL for home_ but Nintendo doesn't even let you share content brtween the two. Counter intuitive if you ask me, to release so many models but punishing users who buy more than one.
