i think im going for this one

 

[Brinbe]

Nope. No thanks

 

[Data West]

Who the hell launches new hardware without a charger?

Who launches a touch screen device without multitouch?

 

[Glorified G]

No charger is very dumb.

Still gonna buy, though

You're part of the problem.

 

[Mistle]

from Choc over in the other thread

Apart from white, they're all black on the inside also

 

[Wilsongt]

I just bought a goddamn 3DS and now they did this? Fuck it.

 

[dream]

Same resolution? Seriously? that's gotta be double digit PPI...

 

[Semblance]

No AC adapter I am fine with, assuming I can use my DSiXL adapter.

No pink though? The fuck is this, Nintendo.

 

[Man]

It doesn't come with a charger of any kind? USB?

 

[Lactose_Intolerant]

I never buy 1st generation nintendo handhelds. There aren't enough games to justify the purchase and I know new designs are coming out in a year or 2.

 

[Levyne]

You're part of the problem.

I have a charger

 

[rollingstart]

It looks better than the regular 3DS for sure. Disappointed there's still only one stick and it's still a very square design. Will probably pick it up at $100 like the XL.

also, the start/home/select buttons should have been moved. It's quite a stretch now.

 

[Amir0x]

why did you repost this on this page

The original was edited into the old post, and people never see posts edited into older posts. So instead I re-edited it out and maded it its own

 

[watershed]

Looks nice but no 2nd slider is unfortunate. I wonder how games will look on those huge screens.

 

[Princess Viola]

from Choc over in the other thread

Oh, I like the silver one.

 

[RelentlessRolento]

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

K i knew there would be a good answer. thanks.

 

[Lonely1]

I just bought a goddamn 3DS and now they did this? Fuck it.

Relax, you got a charger.

 

[Metroid Hunter]

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.

What the fuck? Is this a niche product? This is going to fail, if true.

 

[Franklinator]

No AC adapter? This will make it harder to sell my original 3ds.

 

[Tenbatsu]

Will we have problem viewing 3D on that big top screen?

 

[HaRyu]

How much does a charger go for anyway?

 

[Mailenstein]

Yes

Can you elaborate on how that exactly works? I never did that before with a 3DS.

 

[Freezie KO]

Two thoughts:

1. Nintendo needs to combine their portable and console sectors already. The 3DS XL looks just like the fucking GamePad.

2. I wonder how one-hand balancing the system will be for Kid Icarus.

 

[Jo-El]

Glad I waited.

 

[Salsa]

white for me

 

[Somnid]

As I recall I had to pay extra for the charger when I bought a phone in Japan, didn't come with one.

Japanese bullshit.

 

[AniHawk]

they will wind up including the charger somewhere, i'm sure. it'll be there in america, at least.

i think they need to drop the 3ds to $150 in the states and have the 3ds xl drop in at $180 (with a charger jesus christ) when nsmb2 launches if they want the machine to have a chance at a future.

 

[Rich!]

The 3D effect should be much much better on this than the original, due to the bigger size. Can't wait to try it out.

Also, that D-Pad looks great. Much improved. US/EU dates for launch will probably be announced within the hour at their respective streams.

 

[abstract alien]

- Eh...I've never had a problem with battery life on my 3DS.

-Never cared about a second analog stick on 3DS.

-Don't have any issues with size or comfort on 3DS.

-This new 3DS is ugly anyway.

Oh well. Still sold.

 

[Aeana]

No AC adapter? This will make it harder to sell my original 3ds.

Do you have a DSi? Same charger.

 

[Derrick01]

Despite my disappointment that there's no 2nd stick, I was going to buy a 3ds later this year anyway so I'm in on this one. That screen is huge.

 

[TP]

Matte or Gloss?

 

[Mistle]

Would new games be developed for the bigger screen? Or will everything just be enlarged?

 

[A Pretty Panda]

It's really not too pretty but I understand what they are going for with it. It fits in with the Wii-U game tablet.

And since it has a better battery life I will finally get a 3DS. The screen being huge is a bonus.

 

[Glorified G]

No AC adapter? This will make it harder to sell my original 3ds.

Yup, they lost a sale from me.

 

[Error]

No second analog stick?! fuck.

 

[ArecxP]

Solar powered. I believe!

 

[hatchx]

No second stick

this fucking company

Only Nintendo, honestly.


It's why I love em'. They constantly shatter my expectations. Good and bad.

 

[The Grim Heaper]

If this comes to the US without an AC adapter, I'm gonna hold it out for a third revision. The LL looks just alright but that's just plain dumb. =/

 

[DrForester]

Update 2:

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

The hell?

 

[Salsa]

Do you have a DSi? Same charger.

Neat. What I needed to hear.

 

[Alex]

Colors suck ass, gimmie Bronze back. Bronze DSi XL was the best.

 

[Jinfash]

Ugh, I need to see how DS games would play on this thing. If it's any worse I'll be buying a used DS XL.

 

[DMeisterJ]

So it's effective resolution 400x240 on a 90% larger screen?

yeesh.

 

[graywolf323]

so if I sell my 3DS in order to pay for this how do I get my Ambassador games on it?

 

[johnsmith]

Glad I waited.

 

[systematic]

Can you use DS charger with 3DS?

Only the DSi charger works with the 3DS.

 

[AGITΩ]

This + Wii U this year...I already have a Launch 3DS...but they Showed a Black and Red one...if launched in the US with it then I will be broke.

 

[Zoe]

Wait, what?

No adapter?

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

Must be a Japanese thing. When we bought a prepaid cellphone there a few years ago, we had to buy a charger after the fact (didn't even notice there was!'t one until a couple days later).

 

[Striek]

No charger is smart business. I'd say aimed at curbing tradeins more than anything.
