UK. The current 3DS XL doesn't, the 2DS/normal 3DS do though.

Pretty sure the US has a law against not including a charger.
With the new idea of face plates, I think they will. I mean since we can change it to any color we want, the only models that'll be available are white and black, I doubt they'll just release black. Unless we won't even get faceplates...
If we don't get white then Nintendo can keep their shitty handheld. Not really but fuck that. Edit: looking at the videos the black model doesn't look all that bad with face plates. But I swear if it doesn't come with sfc button colors then fuck you Nintendo.
hilarious, if you took that photo well donemy exact feelings right now
What boggles my mind...I look at my OoT3D 3DS...and you shift the buttons up a few millimenters, and you have room for a second full sized circle pad. Even on the LL/XL, you put the start/select buttons underneath the secondary screen, and there's room for a circle pad underneath the A/B/X/Y buttons.
Didn't they see how universally reviled the nubs were on the original PSP?
I dunno, I could be tempted with the white one and all colour buttons, but I dunno just yet...

From here.
This suggests a charger isn't included:
That is Google translated but seems pretty clear..
Considering they're paying the equivalent of £120 (not much more than the 2DS here) it doesn't seem awful.

It's already uncomfortable to use the d-pad, having a stick in a similar spot that some games will use a lot would be pretty bad. Also it isn't a nub like the PSP, it stays in one place and you slide your thumb over it.

Is this new 3DS 100% backward compatible?
Not an Apple fan i hope, or owner of any smartphone,
Or owner of a gaming PC, or owner of ....
The thing is it won't be £120 in the UK. Retailers will price it about £150-170, which is about the current 3DS XL price (regularly goes down to £120-130). I hope the charger is included.
Also, the 2DS goes down in price regularly to £70-80.
Pretty sure this is a laptop nub, which is basically untested in the way they're using it.
I'm pretty sure it will be useless for FPS games though.

I have a ton of digital games. What's the transfer process? I haven't given a fuck but now the time for a full account system. Make both systems log in and full transfer.
Well white and black are very good neutral colours which is why they work well with the faceplate gimmick. I wouldn't be surprised if NoA did bring them over for you lot in the Americas because of that. It seems this 3DS may not have other colour options in the future but rather special plates and themes to entice people to splash their cash.

Apparently the new 3DS camera deals with low light conditions better. I guess that's something.
This is the reason the LL doesn't have removable covers: Limited Editions.
I actually forgot the fact that the Smaller 3DS won't have bar codes and writing all on the back now.
White or Black...hmmmm.

The cradle looks cool. Small 3DS superior as always

If NoA gives us a white XL I'm in.
Welcome to 2011. The 3DS has supported a full transfer since then. The account system is also quite old. Are you seriously saying you don't have a NNID?
I'm tempted to go white again like my DSi, but black would match my Wii U.
Well one good thing about Japan getting it before us is we'll have a good choice of faceplates by the time we get it. I already expect I'll likely have to import a design I'd like as the UK will likely have a really limited selection of 3DS faceplates, I don't even think the Micro had them over here.
So based on my choice of faceplate I'll get the system that suits it best.

So bought
Yup. They better not disappoint again
If it were me I'd whip out the big one and start stroking it. I'd make tentative eye contact with him and smile enigmatically.
Yeah I agree. I originally had an Aqua Blue 3DS at launch but swapped it for the Cosmos Black which I gave to my little brother. I currently have the all white 3DS XL that came with MK7. I have the Black Wii U but to be honest I don't care about that. I got both a Black and White Pro Controller and use the White one! I like the New Black 3DS but the colored buttons go better with White. First world problems eh? lol
Guess like you said it depends on the covers. White seems to be better overall. Black looks more rubbery to me like the DSi...is that just me?Also like I said, the LL doesn't have a clean back unlike the smaller model.
Blue LL looks Nice!.
Why getting a NNID when all it does is giving you access to Miiverse but barring you from ever moving to another state and using the local eShop? Besides, you don't need a NNID to transfer your stuff from one console to the other, or to have your digital stuff safe if you lose your console or something.

I do. So I can transfer everything between a new 3ds system? Am I they only one who didn't know this?
It's not locked to the system?
No, of course it's not. Nintendo's digital system is not particularly good, but it's not THAT bad.
I got 3 chargers with my DSi, 3DS, and XL. I don't need another one.

No, but you need to have both systems on the same Wifi network to do the transfer. A lot of people are pissed about that because they want to trade in their old system to get a new one. I hand mine down so it doesn't bother me but it's a valid complaint.
jts
...hate me...
You've been a victim of general Nintendo FUD.
Nintendo stuff is locked to a specific hardware but never permanently locked. You can always get a new system and keep your stuff.
You cannot download eshop demo versions without a NNID is another valid reason.
I don't believe this is technically true. The systems use local wireless during the transfer, which doesn't utilize any wifi access points at all. Of course, you do have to have Internet access at several points during the process, and be within about 30 feet of each other, so they will likely be on the same network, but theoretically, they could each be on their own wifi network.
There is no white XL. For now at least.

You need to have both systems on hand to do the transfer is I think what's critical for people to keep in mind. I hope that Nintendo is just holding back a traditional account system until they get everything perfectly in place (like cloud saving).
For all the bitching once they were done with the Wii OS it met all the requirements that people had for the system back in those days.
It says on the site (Google Translate):
Also:
Also due to the New 3DS not accepting SD cards, there's extra steps to transfer between the two right? Bad translation aside:
I translated via Google and paraphrased a few sentences, but I didn't want to change too much since I don't want to mistranslate anything. Anything interesting here?
So you can't transfer backwards? Is that normal?

Does anyone know what is that? Just a small indentation for the finger when you use the nub?
You can see it in all of the pictures. ie:
I think that's exactly what it's for.

Yes there's extra steps to transfer your stuff. You'd do a full system transfer, take the original full SD card (which still has all the data), copy it's contents onto your computer, put in a microSD card (through an adapter) into your computer, copy the content onto that, then remove the microSD from the adapter and put it into your n3DS
A system transfer doesn't actually move content from SD card to SD card, it just moves stuff stored on the internal memory, and transfers the licenses for all content from the old system to the new one
It's a DS -> DSi style enhancement.

Yeah, I know it won't be that price - we always get screwed over with price - but if it doesn't include the charger it still isn't too bad.
Hopefully it will be £150, I kind of want one now.. but I will wait until the new models probably.. it isn't really worth getting one now is it? I mean, I want Smash, but I have a WiiU.
It would be stupid not to include a charger again, the majority of people buying the XL probably don't own the original, and if they did they'd likely have traded it in:/
Ah thanks for that! That makes sense. I've done a few transfers back and fourth but never really understood what was going on outside of the obvious fact that Nintendo crammed a bunch of Pikmin in my system!
Ah thanks guys. I'll probably skip on this since I just got the gold Zelda XL less than a year ago...unless of course New Majora's Mask happens exclusively on this system! ;_;

Hmm, just realized the stylus is on the bottom for both models.
I HATED having it on the top with the original 3DS because I could never accurately grab it when I wanted it in game.
But on the bottom I think it could work a little better than that.

You can buy a charger for a couple of pounds, some stores give it for free with the console, it's not really a big deal.
