You'll be able to transfer them as long as you have both systems handy for about 30 minutes. Just like if you transferred from a regular DS to a DS XL (like I did).

Nintendo reveals the "New Nintendo 3DS" and "New Nintendo 3DS LL"

Yes they will, just do a system transfer.
You have to have both consoles next to each other and connected to WiFi, iirc.
It's pretty painless to be honest. Obviously a true account system would be ideal but the Nintendo version isn't nearly as bad as people make out.

Will there be an upper limit on the size of MicroSD card I can use? I'm thinking about buying a 64GB one now. Amazon has one for $40.

They will, but they'll be removed from your old 3DS.

Officially Nintendo is only supporting up to 32GB SDHC cards. This is the same as the regular 3DS... support ends at 32GB, but you can use up to 128GB SD cards in the regular 3DS as long as you format them to FAT32 in your computer.
We assume, but don't know for a fact, this will be the same for the New 3DS. You may be better off waiting till the system is out and people confirm it working, it's not like flash memory is set to raise in price.
It is like it "at all", you ignored my response that explains why.sörine;127888253 said:

If the understanding was that the games would still be playable on every game boy they wouldn't have included that blurb in the back. And why wasn't Game Boy Pocket on the front of every box after it released? Because it was a revision, while the GBC was a new system.
Also, the GBC was not unique. The Neo Geo Pocket/Color and Wonderswan/Color also had cross-compatible games and exclusives. They were both successors as well.
How they lump them together in their financials doesn't mean much at all. That's for investors, not consumers. Didn't sony start lumping PSP and Vita together for awhile?sörine;127888253 said:

The GBA and SP were to help show you these supposed great lengths Nintendo went to upgrade OG Game Boy games doesn't somehow make the GBC a revision. Clearly there's no pattern.
But really Iet's look at the most obvious thing here, please explain what reason Nintendo had for beefing up the GBC specs so much outside making more graphically demanding games that of course the OG GB wouldn't be able to run. This hardware was proooobably designed before the system was released and had such a smashing success.
Edit: I think I should point out I'm pretty happy with this new announcement, since I think I remember you said you were too awhile ago, correct me if I'm wrong! Most of all I like that they're going back and getting 3D right instead of ditching it. I was worried after the 2DS. It really made a difference in Mar 3D Land even if it felt like I had to keep perfectly still.
Not even the mainstream media is as confused by this as some of GAF's 'Gamers'. Everyone in the media recognizes it as a new model in the same line of handheld ala DSi. Most of them even reference the DSi in their articles. Meanwhile hardcore gamers on message boards are confused by something that's happening multiple times in the past.

I'm only vaguely annoyed at this announcement because I was planning on picking up an XL this holiday season, but now that this thing has been announced and won't be coming to the US until 2015, I'm probably going to be waiting another 6+ months to pick one up 
On one hand, I'm glad this was announced before I grabbed a regular 3DS, but I just wish I didn't have to wait so long for it.

Unless they are able to significantly reduce light transmission through the parallax barrier, there will still be crosstalk ("ghosting"). The dynamic viewing angle won't affect crosstalk.
Note that crosstalk can be minimized by having the brightness set lower and viewing at a certain vertical angle. I've never been able to completely eliminate it, but it is far less noticeable with brightness at 3 than 5.

Good idea plus who knows when this thing is coming out anyway. Thanks.

I thought I had read all the info, but I finally got around to watching the reveal video, well actually the GameXplain discussion, and this looks cooler than I thought. I'm still not planning on picking one up but I hope Nintendo's next handheld is as customizable as the New 3DS will be. The faceplate + matching themes seem pretty neat.
I love it.
Nice to see you support the correct button labeling.

The more I look at them, the more I'm loving the smaller one.

So I have a very dumb complaint I'm going to throw out there. Why did they make the A button red and the B button yellow on the regular New 3DS? Seeing as A tends to be the confirm/action button and B is typically a back button for menus, i feel like they should have made A green and B red (like on the gamecube controller or even xbox). I mean it's not like they could be in trouble for "plagiarizing" the xbox controller's 4 button color scheme right?

Wonder if the improved 3D will help those with bad eyes.
I have a friend who has one bad eye and can't see well out of it.
Hope the new 3D will help give the 3D effect better.

I remember people saying similar things in the terms of the Wii U...
Let's not go in this direction. There will definitely be confusion -- especially after Nintendo emphasized the fact that 2DS owners could play "all 3DS games".

It's the old Super Famicom button color scheme. If you grew up during the Xbox days, and lived in the US, then you wouldn't have seen it. But during the Super Famicom/Nintendo days, Europe and Japan got their buttons in those colors and the US got the Purple/lavender variant.
It's just a throwback.

Seriously, this is what I've been arguing this whole time. Everyone outside gaming forums knows what a "new 3DS" is. It's a new 3DS.

Man I want those colored buttons on the LL and i'm so in. Need to move from the USA 3ds to an Australian one anyway.
It would be perfectly fine if the device didn't have its own exclusive games.

I just told my casual friend about it at dinner, and he was confused because of the exclusive game thing.

To those at America on the fence about the colored buttons VS the XL, don't worry about it.
It won't release here because NoA will say something like "colored buttons don't sell!"

Yeah, but the one game they announced so far is a port that probably couldn't run on the old 3DS. I'm withholding my disapproval until they make games from the ground up that won't run on the OG 3DS. I'd be pissed about a Majora's mask port being exclusive too.

I'll only be getting the white model. Remember it well Nintendo, I have stuck with that sentiment since the xl was announced.

I guarantee you there will be some market confusion, but it's being greatly exaggerated.
And even that will mostly subside when the New line completely replaces the old one

Its kinda sad to see people think Xbox started the colored buttons and that their BAYX formation was always the standard. But I guess thats expected with every new generation of people that comes through here.
