And no one thought that Nintendo would ever reveal hardware in one of these.

Also, I think some people here have active bets over the second stick. Juicy.

Also, Miyamoto lied through his teeth.

 

[Foffy]

The resolution on that will look terrible

Indeed. Imagine playing DS games on that thing....D:

 

[Glorified G]

I hope Gamestop runs a great trade in deal.

The reason I didn't buy anything on eshop

 

[QuiteWhittle]

hm, was hoping for a second integrated analog stick. Bigger sized handhelds don't really do it for me... portability is what I'm looking for. Does it have any other benefits or just size?

Better battery life.

 

[Croc]

Huh it looks like they took some cues on people's complaints (rounded corners, actual buttons for the start/select/home) but I don't really like the look of it at all. Much prefer the 3 tiered look.

 

[Lulubop]

I been waiting for this, will finally jump on board. Day 1!

 

[SaintZ]

Iwata droppedt the bomb. God. This delivered.

 

[Dragoon En Regalia]

Son of a gun. Dat battery life, dat everything.

Hum hum.

 

[Gintoki]

I'll stick with my 3DS.

 

[Perfect Cha0s]

That thing looks like it's from 1999. Ugly as sin.

Also, no 2nd analog? Is there anything different about it other than size/look?

Edit: And battery.

 

[Kazerei]

• Larger screens
• Better battery life
• No AC adapter included
• July 28 for 18,900 yen

Edit: oh god, I forgot to close the list tag

 

[Jonnyram]

Mario 2 and Oni Training out at the same time is a smart move.
Not bundled with an AC adaptor is fucking stupid.

 

[gamergirly]

We might get it

 

[Pappasman]

looks so good. I'm probably going to upgrade.

 

[Pooya]

been waiting for this, looks good!

 

[Hibiki Rush]

Which stream is this from? I thought Nintendo Direct didn't start until 9 PM PST?

 

[lolez2matt]

Will this one be suffering the hinge crack like the ds lite??? BELIEVE!!!

 

[RelentlessRolento]

question now is can i transfer my stuff system data from one 3DS to this.. i hope there's an answer already

 

[Hobbestetrician]

A bigger 3DS is all I wanted. This will look great in my hands.

 

[Garcia el Gringo]

Nowadays I'd just be playing a handheld in my home anyway, so this XL sounds appealing to me. I can't wait to finally jump in to the 3DS.

 

[Jinfash]

Trading mine for this. Disappointed about the lack of 2nd stick, will there be a new circle pro as well?

 

[GeneralManager]

hm, was hoping for a second integrated analog stick. Bigger sized handhelds don't really do it for me... portability is what I'm looking for. Does it have any other benefits or just size? Battery life improvement maybe? Brightness, screen quality?

Acceptable battery life, now.

 

[Muramasa]

my pocket is not big enough =(

 

[Damo Yoshi]

Haha... hahahahahahahahahahaha.

Miyamoto, you sly fox.

(Looks GREAT)

E3 my goodness.

 

[Kusagari]

Is it actually comfortable to hold now?

I don't give a shit about it being bigger.

 

[Tathanen]

Come to me Stump.

 

[MatthewB92]

hm, was hoping for a second integrated analog stick. Bigger sized handhelds don't really do it for me... portability is what I'm looking for. Does it have any other benefits or just size? Battery life improvement maybe? Brightness, screen quality?

6-10 hours battery life.

 

[OldJadedGamer]

I was waiting for a redesign, I guess this will do.

 

[Ysiadmihi]

I wish they made it a little more thicker. Still getting it.

 

[Hero]

Looks sexy but where the hell is the second Circle Pad?

COME ON.

 

[The Abominable Snowman]

Is the battery really that much better?
man i really do not want to buy a new 3DS but it's tempting....

I couldve sworn I read 3.5 to 6 hours battery life in 3DS games and 6-10 hours regular DS games

 

[jambo]

Definitely needs a second stick =[

 

[VideoMan]

Andriasang:

Also, they're increasing the size of the Memory Card to 4 gigabyte.

In order to keep the cost down, they won't be including an AC adapter. You'll have to buy it separately, but you can also use your adapter from your other Nintendo hardware.

 

[FHIZ]

and they still didn't include a second thumb nub?

 

[GQman2121]

Unbelievable that it doesn't have the second stick. Seriously, why?

 

[crimsonheadGCN]

This confirms that its never gunna happen right?

No, it just confirms that Nintendo won't do it anytime soon. I could see them doing it near the end of this handheld generation if they sort out any problems with adding a second stick to the 3DS.

I think the problem is that ultimately they'll have to somehow figure out a way to not make current Circle Pad Pro games incompatible with a 3DS with an added second analog stick.

question now is can i transfer my stuff system data from one 3DS to this.. i hope there's an answer already

Yes, you can do that already. The ability was added last year in the Settings section.

 

[Data West]

Will buy if the battery life is better and the screen doesn't scratch on the sides

 

[NateDrake]

Guess we'll hear about this during the Nintendo of America 'Nintendo Direct'. Wonder how close the release will be to the Japan one.

 

[jett]

lololol Nintendo straight up lied to our faces last week

 

[Kyon]

Dreams of the second stick are dead .

i mean REALLY, they couldnt add the 2nd?

 

[Amir0x]

Better battery life.

6-10 hours battery life.

oh dang, nice. I might bite then, trade in 3DS and get it done. Just wish it was smaller heh

lololol Nintendo straight up lied to our faces last week

This is always how they do it. Miyamoto was lying about the DS revision until like the day of its announcement

 

[Error Macro]

That thing looks like it's from 1999. Ugly as sin.

NINETIES ROCK

I liked the black around the screen, too bad that's gone.

Although...isn't there a black model? I'll have to get that one, I guess.

 

[Princess Viola]

Now we wait for Nintendo to announce the Circle Pad Pro Pro.

 

[OldJadedGamer]

No USB charging?

 

[Franklinator]

Even though I have a 3ds I'm so temped to sell mine and buy this.

 

[Chesskid1]

o man, DS games are gonna look so bad.

that is quite sexy.

 

[Salsa]

• Larger screens
• Better battery life
• No AC adapter included

Edit: oh god, I forgot to close the list tag

added to OP, thanks

 

[Mailenstein]

So.. can you transfer complete profiles with friends from one 3DS to another? I really hope so, otherwise it would be stupid.

 

[Data West]

How soon do revisions usually come to the states? And is white the only color they showed?

 

[Lumpy Onion]

I have been loving my 3DS but when this comes out I am definitely selling it towards this upgrade. This is some wonderful news!
