"New" is such an odd branding scheme to me, but I guess it works if NSMB is anything to go by. It seems like such an odd decision to announce this before the Smash bundle unless there's a New Smash bundle.
There's nothing to see through as there's solid plastive underneath the plates.

Same. Not selling my Zelda XL.
Next Nintendo handheld generation I'm holding out for the revision.
This revision is fine as long as Nintendo does put new system games on it. Games like new Mario Kart, new Mario platformer etc. If it's just wii ports or gba vc console titles, then I'm perfectly fine with it. If they put a new Fire emblem exclusive on it, I will be sending angry letters to Iwata and co.
Micro SD cards seem to be a lot cheaper then SD cards the higher up you go right? I got a 64GB for my phone for only £25 or thereabouts.
I think 3ds Advance or Super 3ds both would have been better than *New* 3ds. Neither advance or super sound terribly dated to me, although they are very videogamey. Super 3ds would have been best as it communicates basically what the Nu3ds is, just better in pretty much every way over the current 3ds.
The extra HW might make GBA emulation possible
I know the 3DS is able, but not with BC processes running.
Just wait until there is an Animal Crossing shell and you may change your tune.

I'll definitely be buying this. The improved 3D alone is enough to make me bite. I'll look forward to hearing more about the NA release.

3DS with ambassador can run GBA game without flaw so what they waiting? Playing handset game on a Wii U sounds stupid (I know Wii U have no games *sarcastic*)
Yeah, it's kind of crazy to think that, all these people will want to buy a 3DS for the Christmas season because of Smash. And yet, there is a new 3DS that makes the old one obsolete (well basically, if they are the same price there is no reason to get the old one)...right around early 2015.
Then again, I guess if Smash Wii U is out in December people will shift to WIi U instead of 3DS smash. *shrugs*
Neogafshitposts is the best. I love that I don't miss insane stuff like this.

They are pushing Amiibo; what else would work with the same Amiibo logo font and accents?
The 3DS has to go into a GBA mode where normal features (multitasking) are unavailable which kept Nintendo from making a GBA VC. Maybe this model can properly emulate GBA games.
Sega didn't ditch the Sega CD. Why else would there be 5 games needing both periphals?
They didn't ditch the 32X for Saturn, but it was internal conflict between Japan (Saturn) and US (32X). SoA wanted the Neptune and 32X to be a stop gap which could have worked well.
The issue with the DC was that the PS2 was the shit.
That's where I saw it. I had to come see if it was real.

Based on the precedent of Xenoblade Chronicles coming to new3DS, what excites me is the potential of other Wii games coming to the system.
Mario galaxy 3d, metroid prime 3, full 3d Zelda like twilight princess anyone??
Yes, we have seen a previous Wii port in the form of DKCR on the original 3ds.
Also, I'm looking forward to other new experiences that take advantage of the added ram and cpu power.

lol true
I'm trying to understand why they aren't launching in America this year, and I think it is a branding argument. Which is why they trademarked the ADVANCE name earlier this year.

how is media playback (pictures/music/video) on these? Any improvement. I have 32GB micro sd cards for phones that I never used.

I was hoping for something like this:
But I guess it's complicated to design around technical constraints and the need to keep it small and portable.
Just ergonomics I think, the dpad was already in an awkward position but thankfully isn't used much.

After a whole day kinda of pissed off about this, I finally got around to look on the bright side: that likely means they aren't replacing the Wii U (which I got last month) any time soon. Sales are picking up and they'd release the next console together with the next portable, and since this is a stopgap that doesn't arrive until next year in the west we're looking at it buying 2 years or close to it.
Well, at least I hope so, I hate how Nintendo drop the support of their consoles so soon. And if this releases 2015 and the next one 2016 they kinda deserve to go bankrupt.
Hey, big stretches here, but I got to think about something to get my mind off that fucking atrocious second stick.

They actually do have flaws. They can't really run the 3DS menu smoothly; once you start one, you have to shut off the 3DS entirely to get back to the system menus. Also, Yoshi's Island had massive blurring issues, from my experience and other reports, but I'm unsure how much of that was present in the GBA port. Supposedly it was not, but I'm not certain.
Not to mention the complete lack of link-up/wireless compatibility.

That design would be way less awkward than Kid Icarus Uprisings current control scheme.

Shit, does this have better speakers than the XL or the OG? The speakers on those suck

You aim with the CPP in kid Icarus, the game just makes you walk with touch screen.
Yes it's as awful as it sounds.
Playback is ok and has some interesting toy features, but very limited media types, organization is primitive (photos/videos by date only, music by file system structure and manually-created playlists), and the lack of proper indexing for the music app makes the initial loading slow. Don't bother dumping all your media library on the card.

I'm wondering the same thing.

The only speakers I have heard that were better than the original 3DS were on the original DS, or possibly the original Game Boy. What is being compared here?
I've read though most of this thread and I have to say the posts here are some of the most harsh, hasty, knee-jerk, misinformed, FUD-based and just plain ignorant posts I have ever seen on GAF. I am often wondering if the person writing the words has even bothered to put a millisecond of thought behind them.

I think it just depends on the speaker lottery... My roommate (at the time) and I both got a 3DS at launch. My speakers are super quiet, I have to play with headphones on if there's any other noise around, I could hear his over the TV...

So obviously I have yet to get my hands on this thing, but in theory I like the placement of ZL and ZR, it's actually something I hadn't considered. I was trying to think of ways to get two shoulder buttons on a portable without it being terrible, and never even considered that.
Maybe it'll suck, but Nintendo has surprised me on that one

Or they're waiting to do it with the true successor.
No, I am assuming the apps are the probably the same and he asked about the current ones.So you have one of the new ones?
Hmm OK get it, remind me of the Wii BC which don't allow you to play with the Wii U Gamepad. It's basically a software issue, it's not like the 3DS is not capable enough, Nintendo really struggle being efficient (like a bunch of Japanese company since post PS2 era).
But when I play some Fire Emblem back in the day and even today it's always not available (for everyone) I feel a bit angry.
Would buy in a heartbeat. Still haven't played Xenoblade.

Ive been using a microsd card in my 3ds for months now with an adapter. And ive only had one problem. I cant get it out of the friggen adaptor -.- hopefully i can get it out before launch.

I don't really see what they're going to accomplish with this personally. I own a 3DS and Vita but am not a big handheld gamer so maybe it doesn't matter what I think, but I don't see this doing much of anything really.
For me it just makes me want to sell my current 3DS XL, and maybe buy one of these new ones to replace it sometime down the road.

Maybe we will see some kind of funnel shaped button thing that attaches to that "nipple" to make it a bigger size

Backup the card to a computer first, and then try to get it out. It happened to me once, and using very sticky tape on the tang and yanking hard helped me. Of course a stunt like this is truly an absolutely last-resort try. Whatever you do, do NOT use pliers; you could scratch and fuck up the card!

Asks questions so Ezalc doesn't have to
I'm all for this. I'll likely get this, and I can't wait for Nintendo to eventually release the New U. I'm ready for an inner change.
