Two thoughts:
1) I wish the New 3DS XL had the full colored buttons
2) Regardless, I'm so buying one

What, no. It's like "this is the best version of the 3ds it even has ultimate in the name"
Yeah no, nobody knows if it the last 3DS
What are they going to cell the next one? New New 3DS? Newest 3DS? Bestest version, srsly now guises 3DS?
Nah, call it first
, since they already show a clear 3DS, also the atomic purple ref is the GameBoy Color, I'm right?Talking about this

yes gbc atomic purple was goat
ill wait and see what plates they offer.
Blame it on the regginator. He maintains in interviews that white is unpopular for handhelds in the US.
This is one way to lose consumer trust. Like how Sega ditched their CD periphal for the 32x, then ditched that for the Saturn. Then they cut western Saturn support. By the time DC came out, consumer trust was way too low and Sega was already too much money in the hole.
Ah man, so many memories, first system was atomic purple GBC.
Maybe I'm in the minority but I think the colored buttons are insanely tacky, especially when rainbow. Maybe if it had the two-tone purple instead.
Nintendo 3DS with reggina display
Nintendo was hoping you would say that.

I didn't know that the Nintendo 3DS could no longer play 3DS games.
What are you even talking about, lol. I wasn't around here when the DSi got revealed, I wonder if the reaction was the same.

I bought the 3ds day one.
I upgraded to the 3dsXL.
I want to upgrade to this. I truly do. But my 3dsXL is the Animal Crossing Edition and no way am I abandoning that.

Or the GBC, which is incredibly ironic considering that other post.

Ya man, it sucks that the OG 3DS stopped getting games 2 years ago and now the XL ain't gonna get new games. Shit sucks so much.

how long did Sony really support the Vita
If you kept the 3DS basic, sell it, save a bit and buy the new one. My little cousin have the AC one (beautiful edition) and I was torned to buy it but I was waiting for something worth it (second stick was my main wish), here we are!
And how long did Sega support GameGear, Saturn, and Dreamcast for?
I did the same but I still have both the OG and my Pikachu XL. Will be upgrading my OG to the New 3DS because of the colored buttons and swappable plates.
I really hope 0.33in bigger screen is significant. The OG screen was a pain to look after getting used to the XL.
I laughed at this way more than I should've

The one system that has been stolen from me. It wasn't my favorite game but it was one of my favorites on the Gamecube so the franchise itself was special to me. At least I still have my box. D:

I really don't understand the need for this.
I'm aware of that but what about regular SD card slot? I don't think I saw any kind of slot for it on the video unless I missed it somewhere.

I'm fine with their support the last few years, and was ready for the dated-feeling 3DS hardware to get a bump (in fact, I wish we weren't getting a DSi-style half-step, but the next platform probably isn't anywhere close to ready, especially if it's the console/portable hybrid structure people are expecting).
But speaking of the first year, they did flop that initial 3DS launch hard. The eShop in particular not being available until months after launch was pretty impressive. Nintendo efforts were generally short (Steel Diver, Pilotwings) or low on content (Nintendogs + Cats, only three cats between the three games in total), the ones that weren't were bringing back old N64 games for another go around (Ocarina of Time 3D, Star Fox 64 3D). They were supposedly giving the 3rd parties a clear shot. But the 3rd parties phoned it in at best, or didn't have enough time to prepare quality titles for the platform. (Probably a bit of both in some cases.) And when the titles started actually coming, and the system finally looked like it was getting decent, they cut 1/3rd the price off. I'd spent $80 extra to play Dead or Alive Dimensions, Ocarina of Time again, and fiddle with the AR a bit.
"But... but you got NES ROMs! And GBA ROMs!"
Of games I mostly owned and played as much as I wanted to play them years ago.
I guess it's better we're getting a platform refresh that theoretically improves future games while retaining compatibility with older 3DSes, as opposed to a rushed, barren launch again.
Do you really expect people to read and be sensible on the internet?
They probably read some posters here earlier today. It happens. When the original 3DS was announced, Gamespot thought it was a DS revision.
Damn, that kinda sucks. Looks like I'll have to buy a new one. Oh well, I'll probably just use my SD card for my sister's camera or just use it myself. Not a dealbreaker since SD cards are cheap.
What annoys me the most is that some people think that their 3DS/3DSXL are apparently "useless" when the system can still play almost all DS games and all 3DS games except for Xenoblade. It's like the end of the world for some people and they feel like they're forced to buy the New 3DS because the regular 3DSs won't have anymore support.

Well, the n3DS comes with a 4GB microSD if that is of any help.

Some people are ignorant and don't realize that you can have a successor system in the same gen.
This successor to the 3DS is an 8th gen system.

Then people will be like:
WHERE ARE THE GBA VC GAMES!?!?!
Way too confusing, regardless of how cool it sounds IMO.
Uh, well I think it's fair to be annoyed over a game that you can't otherwise play. That's kind of the whole point of many poster frustrations.
Nah, need a 32GB one since I'm digital on my 3DS. Heck, I might even go for a 64GB since filesizes are starting to get bigger on the 3DS.
