No, it was not; it was merely marketed that way.
I kinda realized that after I made my post

My Gf was planning on buying one, thanks for the heads up.

Why are strippers at the U.N. bad when they're great at strip clubs???
The original 2DS sku is being replaced by bundles as mentioned in Nintendo's PR this morning with Mario Kart pre-installed - who would purchase as 2DS at the same price as a 2DS with Mario 7 included

I think they aren't fully correct; perhaps they are just not carrying them anymore. One of my Target stores for example has no Pro Controllers. They told me it has been discontinued and they would not get any more at their stores. We know for a fact they aren't discontinued.
Stand alones may have been but Nintendo just announced 2DS bundles for the holidays. So...
Idk how I missed your second sentence, my apologies you are correct
Yup, it transfers everything

It's terrible. No amount of denial and mental gymnastics will change that.
I hope the battery life gets a worthwhile boost and is close to the high end estimates
DSi had no retail killer hits, but few download titles that were good and easily obtained on 3DS today

This thread is pretty much a carbon copy of the Nintendo DSi release thread:

LOL Nintendo will piss off gamers when Nintendo announces Majora's Mask remake only on the new 3ds
the original majora's mask only worked with a hardware upgrade too so maybe it'll just make them nostalgic.

This is my only concern. As long as it's playable I'll be getting one when it launches.
I've missed out on a bunch of 3DS games.

I think the video makes that pretty clear.

The first one is about selecting just some of your games instead of everything, but the Transfer-process is everything or nothing.

So they do still care about the stereoscopic 3D!
Yay
Right? I hope it's here forever and ever!
The announcement video? It showed nothing about the old CPP-compatible games, only the yet-to-be-released Monster Hunter game.
They do,

New Nintendo 3DS is cool for me, it could be Nintendo 3DS (2014) too, Nintendo 3DS 'insert code name' a la HTC One M8 (successor of the M7), I dont know why whining about it.
What will be the next handset name? Nintendo Super 3DS, Nintendo 3DS.2, who care.
They avoid the U think dont get greedy we're talking about Nintendo.
This is actually one time where brand confusion could help them. It might make people less reluctant in the rest of the world to continue buying the 3DS through the holidays.

region locking was always only on the software side of the 3ds it has never actually been the hardware itself if they wanted to remove region locking they could with a software update it would not require a hardware revision.

And this prevents you from getting one because?

I mean, I don't speak Japanese, but there's a part where they show a CCP on an old 3DS, and then immediately show the nub doing what the CCP used to do
Given the context, I think it's a lock
A Wii U is probably the better purchase. Unless the 2nd stick or improved hardware is vital for you, there's not much reason to upgrade. You can continue to play all of the games you have on 3DS as well as new ones, as there probably won't be a bunch of "New 3DS" exclusive games... for now at least.
Get the Wii U and save the New 3DS for a later date.

Unless you want to lose all your digital crap, I'd hold on to it until you can get the system transfer done

This is true but unfortunately I have no confidence Nintendo would ever be that generous.

only if u dont want to get a circle pad pro for $15 and want to play xenoblade chronicles on the go.
I was hoping for a price drop this year on the Wii U but I kind of figured the PS4 will get a price drop/revision next year so if Wii U had a great Black Friday bundle I would jump in. if this is 2015 then i still should be able to go ahead as planned.
I'll give you 10 bucks for it.
How is ultimate better than new? If anything Ultimate would lead to more questions/confusion.

Nope. Doesn't work this way.
All it takes is a call to verify the serial numbers and decouple your NNID from the old system and reinstate your software licenses to the new system. I've had to do it twice.

My head hurts so much, reading comments on other websites people actually think that this is Nintendo's "Next Gen Handheld" and that the 3DS is being abandoned in the middle of its lifetime.
Ah, so they have improved on this process? This is progress!

Lost one and upgraded another.
The only annoyance was the length of time it took for a CSR to call me back. (And my lost MoHun/SMTIV progress)
Still shouldn't be this hard though.
So from the chart in the OP the XL has a little bit better battery life? I would like the smaller white one but if the XL has some advantages it makes it a toss up. Gosh I'm starting to dislike the multiple sku model these companies are doing these days.
I'm not really concerned about the name if it literally says "NEW" on the box. Pretty clear actually, it's the NEW 3ds. So when someone asks for the new one, well, it literally says it on the box. Hard to miss if you ask me.

Ninty will release an add when hit worldwide and the 'mess' will be clear up.
Btw, I want a clear color new 3DS in honour of my clear GameBoy Basic.
