Am I the only one who finds the colored buttons to be tacky and ugly looking? I mean I feel like the gamecube pulls it off because of the weird shaped buttons but otherwise I prefer the more uniform button coloring scheme.

I don't think so, N64 had different colored face buttons and it worked for it. So did SNES actually. My only complaint about this machine is it has forced me to decide to get the current model well the NES themed one, or wait till next year. I am probably going to just get the NES themed one anyways.
Trying to be a better person, honest.

I am not looking at buttons when i am playing games.

But i do like colour coding because it makes it easier to distinguish buttons at a moment's glance, even more so within game's UI than on controller.

I am not even looking what letter button prompt on the screen is, i just look at the colour, if it's yellow i push upper face button (Y on Xbox controller), red - left face button (X on Xbox) and so on.

It doesn't help that i jump between Nintendo/Xbox/PC constantly, so i constantly forget which button is where. Colours are easier for me.

I miss the convex/concave buttons of the SuperNES. That really stood out for me, and made it quite easy to distinguish button placement.
I like Nintendo more than j00!

Well the time is coming, I'm off to trade in my LL before the price drops dramatically!
Hopefully will be picking up an all-black New LL next week! #hypeGET!

Thanks to Danny for lending me his no-longer-used launch system for a temporary host for my games and NNID :-)
Of course I wouldn't have to do that if Nintendo had a proper account system....sigh

For those that are upgrading later this year (Aussies) or next year (Europeans/Americans) how do you intend to make the jump?

Picked up my matching microSD card today (64GB), gonna buy the New XL on Xenoblade day, do a home system transfer, then use the proceeds from trading in my XL to get the eShop version of Xenoblade.

I plan to keep the old one as a Nexflix/Mario/PlantsVsZombies system for my wife as she likes to use it from time-to-time. So no transfer challenges for me.


Still hoping for the beautiful Monster Hunter LL system to come to western shores.

Apparently you can set up your microSD as a network share (SMB):




Very cool. That means you don't have to take out our micro SD card out of the system when you want to copy your files or something.

That is a nice feature. Not really the kind of thing you'd expect from Nintendo.

Given the hell involved in getting the microSD card out, I'm not surprised.

And it should be especially useful now with homebrew out, so you can load stuff on there more easily.

Hello! New to the forums. :)

Anyway, I am excited for the New 3DS. Will be purchasing the regular model myself. I hope they come to North America as soon as possible. I understand wanting to go through current inventory first, but I don't think they should wait too long either.

Oh wow, I'm sold!

On a whim, took a few low-quality photos with my 3DS XL a couple months back. But when I went to remove the SD, the spring broke. Guess what's not covered under warranty?  It's ok though: Nintendo offered to fix it for just over a $100... 
 :Q

Ok, it wasn't that bad. They did agree to do it for less after some discussion, and while I'm not sure what the results will be yet hopefully things will turn out ok.

Still, being able to transfer files (music and photos mostly, but also possibly some save data) easily is a huge plus for me. This is a great feature and one that will definitely get used.

Displays of the new 3DS are popping-up at gamestops in my area, with a Majora's Mask demo.  I was surprised how well the nubbin works for the camera.  Something I initially found ridiculous I think will work pretty well overall.  That said, I wouldn't expect it to work particularly great with something more twitchy like Call of Duty-esque FPS.

I am still convinced the nipple is a stupid idea, but increased loading times and no more circle pad pro make this system and EVENTUAL BUY WHEN THE NORMAL SIZED ONE COMES OUT.

Yeah, **** you, Nintendo. You're not getting my money that easily.

I think the Screen Resolution would nix that anyways.

Well, my GS amiibo order is marked as "closed" because that has shipped to the store (called to make sure already). They have a pending hold on my money for the MH4 N3DS but it is not marked as "closed" so it has't shipped.


I'll report back if there are any changes.

I was so set to buy a NEW 3DS this Friday and have been waiting and waiting for it to come out and now I find myself wondering if I should just wait two more months when Xenoblade Chronicles 3DS comes out on the chance there is a limited edition 3DS. Urgh. What to do, what to do...

I'm getting the Special I wanted.  The real question is do you have a compelling reason to buy one sooner?  If not then I probably just wait.
