I put in a pre-order, but don't know if I'll keep it. I have a month to decide. It just doesn't seem as cool as the Super Famicom ones :(

I pre-ordered it earlier today. The picture that shows the entire back side makes it look much better than the one in the OP.

Looks nice. Below is the PAL version for comparison, was just released in Aus last week.

It's shit like this. If GAF didn't exist I would never know about this and this is awesome news.

This has been on several websites.


it's stuff like specific retailer shipments and expectations from japan (or switch stock shipments) that I would have no idea of lol...
 
I thought about ordering one for a half second, but I think I’m past done with the 3DS. The nostalgia play is too late for me.

I feel all these actual legit gaming threads at this moment are turning an eye about what’s happening to our community.

Regardless. I preordered one

Pre ordered just because I need a new 3DS xl that’s white inside... even though this is grey. And ahoy, it’s nice to have the forums back even though I expect a ton of thread details for weeks to come :D

I had been debating whether to pre-order this or not, but have now decided to pre-order it. There's no way I can turn this down. It's just too awesome.

Now I'm thinking about getting rid of my Pikachu New 3ds XL with the colored buttons (like the Famicom/Euro SNES edition new xls) I bought a few months ago to help pay for this one. Amazon doesn't offer much trade in value for it though :(

When i see this thing I'm just reminded what a mistake it was to go with this design to begin with. The Super Famicom is just so much better.

Yeah that will really make people go to the other website.

me too.i think im going pokeball tho

Yeah I did the same. I liked the eur better but it really is just the buttons and the smaller 3ds have those so I am good. Also concerned it just a sticker.

Guess we can see what happens when the mods all go away. The dogs are cute but there are other places for them.

I'll pass. I'm giving all my money to the Switch platform. Seems cool if you're a gaming collector with some money to spare, though.

This.

Also, are any new 3DS games on the horizon? I last bought Metroid Samus Returns which is great, but what else is there?

Why oh why couldn't Nintendo just have given us here in NA this proper Super NES model back in the 90s? We are forever cursed with the purple monstrosity. Why did we have to get the different model?

It wasn't edgy enough to compete with the "cooler" looking Sega Genesis. Bright, colorful, rounded designs are for kids. Teens need something sharp to cut their eyes on.

Son of a-

I'd have picked this up in a heartbeat if it was around when I got my XL. Probably a bit late in the game for me now though, nothing wrong with the one I have.

Shame that the faceplate buttons and whatnot aren't actual 3D detail like the pokeball one, but it's cool nonetheless.
