Why, oh why did Nintendo had to do this. First the 3DS XL, now this. I've had my regular 3DS for 2 years and it's quiet beaten up. So, about time for an upgrade-- though I'd feel like I'm spending money on the same thing. Don't get me wrong, the New 3DS' features are good and all, and I was so hyped about this but. . . . come on. They could of replaced the 3DS and 3DS XL with the New 3DS and New 3DS XL BEFORE they launched. I've already saved my money for a drawing tablet and a Steam game, I don't want to wait for another few months, just to have enough money to buy a clone version of the same product-- only it has more features. Heck, I don't even use the 3D, unless the game has cutscenes or for pictures. I don't even use the AR Cards or Head Raiders (I think that's what it's called) like I used too. Maybe I should switch my gaming style to that of a PC gamer. Because I know that PCs, computers, laptops, desktops hardly ever upgrade to newer versions-- in a sense of outer appearance-- let alone disappoint it's fans.

All I'm saying is Nintendo's gonna get boycotted by it's fans sooner or later, unless this new thing of their's makes a successful run.

Not the most unique name, but seems like a great console. I like the advanced processing power because I can have faster loading for Smash 3DS because that game takes an eternity for me to load whenever I get to play it, and I can get to play my favorite game of all time, Xenoblade Chronicles, on the go and in 3D. I also like the C-Stick because it will help with camera angles in some games, but it cannot replace the Circle Pad Pro because that was an actual whole Circle Pad. I would have liked to see a left-handed 3DS with the Circle Pad on the right and the D-Pad and A-B-X-Y buttons on the left.

This console has been released. Closing thread.
