Wait, what?

No adapter?

That's... weird to say the least.

 

[Anth0ny]

Since there's no second circle pad

I guess they'll have to release a Circle Pad Pro LL

 

[GeneralManager]

The no AC adapter thing won't fly in the US.

 

[Gravijah]

Andriasang:

uhm... what?

 

[def sim]

The design looks worse. More rounded edges and no more black border around main screen is a step back aesthetically.

 

[slick7rick]

..

 

[Gospel]

Come to me Stump.

Hahaah

 

[Salsa]

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

white, red, black

think they showed one more

 

[Rodney McKay]

And if you thought the 3DS was too heavy to play Kid Icarus before... LOL

 

[Deleted member 1235]

damn you nintendo.

i'll probably buy it :/

 

[LiK]

$235+ USD without import shop hikes.

 

[AniHawk]

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

is it supposed to just have one charge and then that's it?

 

[Diddy Kong]

Want.

 

[jokkir]

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

Yes

 

[evilromero]

Goddamn Nintendo bringing the domination with this ND. Dat screen. I am getting another goddamn 3DS it seems.

 

[OldJadedGamer]

lololol Nintendo straight up lied to our faces last week

Third pillar!!!!

 

[Princess Viola]

yesssss! finally time to buy a 3ds
but no ac adapter? how the fuck do they expect us to charge the damn thing?

They don't.

 

[adversesolutions]

purchase confirmed

 

[Mistle]

anybody get screens of the red/black version?

 

[Hero]

Lol what the fuck, no A/C adapter?

There's no way that is gonna happen in the States.

 

[billy beane]

If it's more comfortable to hold, I'll buy it day one.

If it isn't, I'll buy it day 13.

 

[Salsa]

wait so

other nintendo hardware means I can use my DSi XL charger? no biggie then


thanks for title change btw

 

[Alex]

Aw, I've been flipping too much shit on eBay lately, now I gotta do this too.

 

[Amir0x]

The no AC adapter thing won't fly in the US.

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.

Really? How cheap can Nintendo be? It's not important to me, but PRICE prohibiting an AC adapter? Never seen a clearer example of their obsessive, anti-consumer frugality than this. Well, Sony definitely did its best to match it with the Vita memory card bundle shenanigans. These companies are really something these days

 

[djplaeskool]

Ehh...sort of want...

Larger screen with the same res, no A/C for first time buyers, no second circle pad...I dunno...

 

[grimshawish]

Pretty much in line with what I've been expecting.

6-10 battery is great. They should market the shit out of that as its a big win over the non-dedicated market (e.g. my new fancy name for phones)

Might get the fat one, but I actually don't like the design lol! Might wait to hear of any changes to the speakers, they look different which makes me hopeful their pretty good, which will win me around.

 

[Kazerei]

Come to me Stump.

Was he the one who bet the 3DS redesign would have a second circle pad?

Poor Stumpy.

 

[ViewtifulJC]

No second stick

this fucking company

 

[CrunchinJelly]

It'll probably just come with a USB cable like an iPod.

 

[Gamer @ Heart]

Of course there was no second stick. They aren't going to splinter their install base. Sony got shit for years and didn't do it on the PSP for a that reason.

 

[MThanded]

No adapter. That is weird as hell lol

 

[Glorified G]

Andriasang:

No ac adapter. Nintendo may possibly be the cheapest company in history.

WTF!?

Innovation.

 

[CubanBoy1127]

Why in the hell did Nintendo not show this at E3?

In for 1

why did you repost this on this page

 

[Chesskid1]

i love how small the bezel is as well. the smaller the bezel the better the display looks and it's going to look amazing.

 

[SolarKnight]

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

Well, that's because on stream it said 3.5-6.5 hours for 3DS games and 6-10 for DS games from what I could understand.

 

[Mistle]

no AC adapter is hilariously odd

 

[TreasureHunterG]

No second analog stick? Shame on you, Nintendo.

 

[bigtroyjon]

What does the current 3DS cost in Japan, is this a price increase?

Really smart way to increase the price if that's the case.

 

[Aguila]

I'm definitely upgrading to this. 3D will look much better on a bigger screen.

 

[evilromero]

Since there's no second circle pad

I guess they'll have to release a Circle Pad Pro LL

Seems like they could have easily fit one with the added size. Regardless it's an improvement, especially the huge screen. It'll only increase the immersion factor in 3D.

 

[Smellycat]

Who the hell launches new hardware without a charger?

 

[Conflict NZ]

Can you use DS charger with 3DS?

 

[jbug617]

I want the white one. It looks very clean.

 

[Bullza2o]

Please no region lock...

 

[Poyunch]

I will be bummed out that the 3DS charge station will no longer be a thing.

 

[LiK]

Please no region lock...

sorry

 

[Levyne]

No charger is very dumb.

Still gonna buy, though

 

[Princess Viola]

Please no region lock...

Please Nintendo.
