Support NeoGAF

[Rich!]

Seems like a strange decision. Why not offer it?

retailers likely dont want it and the 2DS too.

Seems like a strange decision. Why not offer it?

The OG 3DS sold terribly in NA. XL was the main seller.

 

[Kinsei]

Whats the problem ? The XL version of 3DS is much better anyway,why people would want the basic version ?

Colored buttons and faceplates.

 

[Deleted member 20415]

This bums me out - I preferred the smaller form of the 3DS... and the screen was slightly larger, so it was all going to be good.

Disappointing they went with this - I don't like the XL and think it's too large.

 

[Raptomex]

GAF hates the XL? I was going to go for the XL anyway.

 

[Princess Viola]

why the fuck did the direct show the regular new 3ds and the xl anyway if only the xl is coming out in north america

 

[KillGore]

lolol

Fuck you, Nintendo

 

[lionpants]

No AC adapter included?? Wtf

 

[Trojita]

I didn't want to get the regular version, but that sucks for those that did. Those faceplates are nice and too bad they aren't available for the XL.

NOA done goofed.

 

[mr2t]

Doesn't even come with an ac adapter. Cheap fucks.

 

[kamakazi5]

No AC adapter either, yeah.

 

[Noobcraft]

Don't really care about faceplates, do care about mobility. Will a 3ds XL fit in a jeans pocket?

 

[Zhao_Yun]

Just import an European regular sized n3DS. Oh wait...

 

[ElFly]

You can't fit that shit in your pocket and it doesn't have faceplates

I fit it just fine along with my galaxy note 2 AT THE SAME TIME.

Lern 2 be bigger.

 

[lobdale]

Awful.

 

[EchoChamber]

Fucking bullshit.

 

[hwy_61]

Whats the problem ? The XL version of 3DS is much better anyway,why people would want the basic version ?

I'm not a fan of the image quality on the XL.

 

[Laconic]

I guess I'll just go ahead and not get an N3DS, then.

Fuck yourselves properlike, Ninty.

I have Xenoblade on my Wii, anyway.

 

[lolez2matt]

And it wont include an ac adapter? I want my normal new 3ds :c

 

[Weeaboosuke]

I guess I'm sticking with my current 3DS.

 

[Floex]

Im shocked for you guys, wow

 

[Regiruler]

I fit it just fine along with my galaxy note 2 AT THE SAME TIME.

Lern 2 be bigger.

Yeah, those things are too fucking big.

 

[NateDrake]

why the fuck did the direct show the regular new 3ds and the xl anyway if only the xl is coming out in north america

I never saw the N3DS shown in the NA stream. It was always the XL.

 

[CrossTrigger]

You can't fit that shit in your pocket and it doesn't have faceplates

I am sure cargo pants and shorts are on there way back in fashion soon anyways... lol

 

[Ingueferroque]

And this ugly burgundy red instead of the gorgeous, beautiful, clean white.

I'm probably going to just wait before jumping in.

 

[phanphare]

ugh, no New 3DS for me then

hopefully it will come at a later date? please?

 

[Gonzo The Great]

Thanks for saving me $169.99 dollars, Nintendo.

 

[synce]

Well not buying one then

 

[Astral/H3X]

You have to be shitting me. I can't believe it.

 

[18-Volt]

Yep, that's it for me. Not buying 3DS XL, hated the huge pixels and its ridiculous size.

 

[ScOULaris]

What in the FUCKING world are they thinking?! Jesus, Nintendo. I was gonna by an N3DS, but now they can go fuck off. This is a new low for a company that makes so many bone-headed decisions.

 

[vgamer1]

I'll only get one now if there's a Zelda Special Edition. This is such bullshit. Italy gets the non XL but not US? Fuuuuuck that.

 

[topplehat]

So it looks like I won't be buying an n3DS anytime soon.

 

[Doc Holliday]

Well I guess in keeping my xl, bullshit!

 

[Dr_LucienSanchez]

Such a strange decision. The fact that it doesn't even come with an AC adapter is probably a bigger insult to consumers though.

 

[BronsonLee]

You gotta be kidding me. What a weird move.

 

[nckillthegrimace]

I hope press at the event today grill them about this nonsense.

 

[Tribes of Trusty]

That's...actually really shitty for you guys.

Spoiler

And another reason why region locking sucks

 

[CronoShot]

I guess we need to start Operation: Bring the Fucking Regular One on Facebook.

 

[mp1990]

Colored buttons and faceplates.

Yeah,the colored buttons is a bummer,but i think i can live with that.

I'm not a fan of the image quality on the XL.

Uhhh,i never saw any difference. I think they should release the normal version to give a option to the costumer,but this isn't a thing to get so upset about.

 

[Flappy]

Suddenly everyone hates XLs?

Gaf always shits on smaller screens.

 

[C.Dark.DN]

Just now tuning is. Who is this goober?

 

[DoubleDash]

Went from being super excited about New 3DS and buying one at launch to not giving a shit.

Story of Nintendo of America.

 

[Laevateinn]

but I already bought faceplates

 

[Princess Viola]

I never saw the N3DS shown in the NA stream. It was always the XL.

i saw colored buttons during the direct, which only the regular n3ds has, not the xl

unless the north american new 3ds xl has them too or something

 

[KarmaCow]

I was wondering why Reggie kept mentioning XL only. That is really lame.

 

[HardRojo]

Makes it easier to stay right to my decision of not getting the regular sized N3DS.
Sad news for those of you who wanted to get it though :/

 

[kaioshade]

All those people yelling at posters saying "even nintendo isnt that stupid, shut up"

yea.......

Yes Nintendo of America IS that damned stupid

 

[Jawbreaker]

How can NoA be so fucking incompetent? They lost a potential sale here.

 

[Madao]

what the FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF

i planned everything around the regular N3DS since i already have a JP N3DSLL

well, that's it. no new N3DS for me. the only reason i wanted one is completely nullified even with importing.
