not really powerful enough to be a new 3DS
this might be a stop-gap until they iron out home and portable merging thing
How much more powerful is this thing. From what I'm reading from you guys it's not a lot, did Nintendo provide a figure?
Given the YOY declines 3DS is seeing, I don't see how this is supposed to buy Nintendo another two years. It's still a very traditional dedicated handheld when the market is increasingly rejecting that model.
I can see why they thought a stopgap was a good idea, but wouldn't it be better to sell 3DS software to as broad a userbase as possible, instead of creating exclusive software that will only sell to a segment of it?

If Majora Mask turns out to be one of the exclusive....man, gaf will implode.
Might not be happening until at least 2016 then, they won't even launch this outside Japan this year.
...And the gates have opened...
Fire Emblem please!
It's a new handheld this split user base stuff is dumb. The fact that it'll play older 3ds games is like backwards compatibility.
Mother of God.SNES and GBA VC HAVE to be in the cards.

Nintendo, make this region free and everyone will stop complaining.
A pokemon game for 3DS without frame drops.
Old 3DS has install base of 60 million it will never be phased out.
It's going to be Majora's Mask 3D, isn't it.
What are the chances Monster Hunter 5 is exclusive for the new 3DS?
I'd buy three New 3DS's and give Miyamoto and Iwata handjobs AT THE SAME TIME if they can pull out their magic pixie dust and make the new handheld give me a proper sequel to Final Fantasy Tactics....
Something I've been dreaming of for ages....
No. Only the CPU is improved. We're not sure how much yet.

Upgraded versions of ALL OF NINTENDO'S HIT 3DS GAMES! Link Between Worlds Deluxe! Super Mario 3D Land Deluxe! Fire Emblem: Awakening Deluxe!
But seriously, this really is the new Game Boy Color.
Then it would be a fully new portable hardware which Nintendo won't release until 2016
That's all that's been confirmed, and 3DS has two CPUs btw. Going by previous Nintendo iterative hardware upgrades (GB/GBC, DS/DSi, GC/Wii) we can probably expect 1.5-2x faster chips and 3-4x memory.Better CPU. That's it.
Guys, imagine if Majora's Mask is exclusive to New 3DS.
IMAGINE
Fuck that, gimme Super Mario Sunshine 2 exclusive to New 3DS!
I wonder if Nintendo will make New 3ds games eshop exclusive to avoid retail confusion and manufacturing costs.
