They should've brought back "SP" or "DX".

Like I said, they did 3DS, they did 2DS, why the hell not call this new and improved 3DS the 4DS.

Why not jump on the Apple bandwagon and call it the 6DS Plus?

I'd say calling something the "New *blank*" definitely qualifies as jumping on the Apple bandwagon.

New iPad - new 3DS - New Coke! It all makes sense now. The new 3DS' stylus can be used as a straw to snort cocaine, the 3D effect will make your heart explode. It's actually the same console, you're just based and it seems way more intense.

I really can't wait for this to release and see if the rumors of the RAM increase are true.  I personally, think it isn't true, and Nintendo was just experimenting with different forms. 

But if it is true, then this upgrade is more than just a superficial one.  And I think it will be more than just a 2 year stop gap.  Though honestly, a 2 year stop gap is a long time.

The DSi's the closest analog to this, and it was about two years from it to the 3DS. The thing there is, though, that two years from now is probably going to be around when Nintendo's going to want to release a Wii U successor, and I doubt they'd want to do both in the same year, unless they're going with BnM's mythical hybrid system.

Nintendo released Gameboy Advance and GameCube in the same year so it wouldn't be without precedent. That said, it's probably not a terribly good idea considering how much trouble Nintendo is currently having supporting both Wii U and 3DS consistently. If New 3DS can give Nintendo an extra year or even two (though two is stretching it), there's no reason not to take that opportunity. Wii U's successor will need all the help it can get.

I don't think it was a great idea to do GBA and GC in the same year, and with the way the market is today I think it'd be a worse idea now. The Wii U successor needs a strong start to have any hope of success, and Nintendo having to compete with itself in its first holiday season probably wouldn't help that.

New 3DS ain't no GBA.  That's an Apple to Oranges comparison.

I think you read the above posts wrong. No one is comparing New 3DS to GBA. insano said Nintendo wouldn't want to launch the successors to Wii U and 3DS in the same year, and I brought up how Nintendo has done this before. We agreed that it isn't a good idea.

Apparently n3DS launches November 21st in Australia.

They even had special regional Direct about it:

I wonder if play-asia wil carry it, i might import then, considering Australia is still PAL region...

Since this Australia Nintendo Direct kind of came out of nowhere I really would've liked to have seen a Sega Saturn "It's out right now!" launch.

Considering how you can just buy dongles to swipe credit cards on a phone, I think think that would be an epic idea to do at E3.

"And it's available today! Like right fucking now! Go, go! It's outside right now. No bullshit!"

And then like 5 booth babes would be critically injured, maybe two deaths.

Just imagine the stampedes for the Wii at E3 2006, but with that. There wouldn't have been another E3 after that because of how high the death toll would've been.

You know something about the XL buttons really just rub me the wrong way...



Seriously Nintendo, either color the buttons or leave them as they were, don't try to go halfway with colored font, that just looks bad.

I still like the colored font, not as much as the colored buttons of the standard New 3DS, but I still like them. I'm not sure why Nintendo made these odd choices. Why doesn't the XL version have replaceable cover plates? I probably would never change them myself if I had a New 3DS, but I still consider it to be bizarre.

I'm hoping we will get an improved Netflix channel with the updated system. I was watching some yesterday and the load times can be atrocious.

I seconded the strangeness of the lack of faceplates on the New 3DS XL.  I'd actually like a faceplate, especially if I could find some really neat ones.

Nintendo probably didn't want to divide and confuse the market with face plates of different sizes.  It is quite easy to know which plates fit the only model that they fit.
