I might just have to dip on this system. I still use my original launch black 3DS. I'm so cheap, I have avoided the xl's even though I really kinda want one. Now this, and Xenoblade, which I didn't play on the wii. I might just have to jump in on it.
Still not sure about that second nub stick. Doesn't look very comfortable, but I won't judge it yet. The extra shoulder buttons too look a bit iffy. Will be glad to hear some hands one reports when people can actually use this thing. If the word is pretty good, and money is okay at the time, I might finally upgrade from my launch unit.
