New 3DS and 3DS LL models are coming to Japan in October.

Nintendo has announced two new 3DS models are coming to Japan this October.
Today's Nintendo Direct in Japan detailed the new models, New 3DS and New 3DS LL. Both models contain faster CPU's, quicker download speeds and colorful face buttons akin to the Super Famicom. Hardware wise, the models also contain Amiibo support, better 3D viewing, a new button that helps control camera movement (similar to the C-stick found in previous console controllers), added ZR and ZL buttons (leading the cartridge slot to be moved to the front of the console), better battery life, and is also a bit lighter to boot.
New Nintendo 3DS will exclusively have changeable top and bottom plates, with various styles shown in the Direct. Many variations seem to be packaged for retail, but that is not confirmed.
MicroSD support has also been added.
New Nintendo 3DS comes in white and black, while the New 3DS LL comes in Metallic Blue and Metallic Black. Both models are scheduled for release in Japan on October 10 for 16,000 ($150) and 18,800 yen ($180), respectively. The models will be available in the United States and Europe in 2015.
Some interesting choices were made on the inclusion of new buttons, but not a 2nd nub.I do.
That said, it blows my mind they did all this to port Xenoblade Chronicles to a handheld (http://www.siliconera.com/2014/08/29/xenoblade-chronicles-remake-announced-new-nintendo-3ds/). I take it the Japanese market loves playing their lengthy RPGs on a handheld?
Ha, well ****, I happened across the XL Link Between Worlds edition yesterday on sale and ordered it on impulse. I don't really care about the Xenoblade port, but I really hope they don't switch too much output to the new juiced up version. Is there any feasible way they could release some kind of expansion doohickey to make older 3DS systems work with games like Xenoblade?
Your right Doom was on all those systems wasn't it.Ha, well ****, I happened across the XL Link Between Worlds edition yesterday on sale and ordered it on impulse.

doubtful considering it has all new buttons, a second analog stick thing and a faster CPU, unless they really are trying to copy Sega to their doom.
This isn't terribly surprising. Gameboy Color did the same, technically so did DSi though they were few and far between beyond DSiWare.
So all you Nintendo whores that bent over backwards for the outright scam that was the DSi, this is YOUR fault! **** all of you for making Nintendo think they can get away with this ****!Not buying this ever? Okie-dokie. What does it matter to you then?
Well I'm never buying this new 3DS ever.

And kindly stop trying to pass the buck on others. If you bought a 3DS thinking, "Oh, Nintendo will never release a new version or model," that one is on you considering how much precedence there is to the contrary.
So, don't be glib and quick to dismiss other thoughts on the matter because they don't like this idea. It would be ok for you if him or others complained and made the statements they have as long as they mentioned they were still going to buy the system? What logic is that?How did you come to that conclusion? Complaining about something then buying it is simply a different kind of ridiculous. Of course, others don't have to like the idea. However, raging and ranting and blaming others about something they're admittedly not taking part in ever is a waste of time. They're making the only point that matters by not buying it. Sounds reasonable to me.

So someone buys a 2DS and 10 months later a new 3DS is announced with new games that are incompatible with the handheld they just bought less than a year ago that was a brand spanking new model at the time? Come on! That's ridiculous!New 3DS is not meant for the same audience as 2DS as New 3DS includes improved 3D capability and is more expensive. There would have to be a New 2DS for there to be an analogous comparison.
It sounds like you still plan on getting a 3DS, just the New 3DS instead of the standard one. If that's the case, Nintendo didn't stop a potential sale; they just pushed it back a few months. In the end, they're getting your money anyway.
The days of a static handheld platform lasting 8 years are over. Games meant for an iPad Air 2 are going to run like crap on an iPad from 2011.
On the up side, Nintendo themselves might be more supportive of "CCP" options now since the 3DSLL will have those features as standard. I would've loved KI but the controls were a mess--would rebuy in a heart beat if an second analog control option was available.
So all you Nintendo whores that bent over backwards for the outright scam that was the DSi, this is YOUR fault! **** all of you for making Nintendo think they can get away with this ****!Oh yeah? Well YOU didn't buy ExciteBots and many other awesome Wii games, so screw you too, good sir.
This is like the third time Nintendo has done pretty much this exact thing with a handheld line. Anyone surprised by this hasn't been paying attention.I don't think anyone is surprised that this thing exists, except maybe people who are surprised that the sky is still blue.

I figure this co-existing with the 3DS and 2DS will continue to cause massive confusion with consumers and that's good because Nintendo needs to get knocked down a peg for this Sega-style bullshit. My thinking right now is that there is no point in buying a Nintendo handheld while it is current because they're just waiting to release some bullshit half-step revision on you. Might as well wait and get an outdated used model when it's cheap. That's Sega. They ruined consumer trust by releasing new platforms that they discontinued early. I feel that way with Nintendo and handhelds. I don't trust them. Hey, now I don't trust Nintendo consoles OR handhelds. Now that is fucking Sega!This is my only fear with it. Marketing is going to be as bad, if not worse, as the Wii U.
All "NEW",3DS games should be exclusive to the eShop and only accessible through said device. That way there can be no brand confusion at retail.He's right here. When they came out with the N64 expansion pack and Wii Motion Plus they continued to make games that worked the old way, but they also made one that only worked with the new hard ware and I don't know about all of you, but my friends and I all figured it out and with N64 that was before the day when any confused mom at Walmart could pull out her smart phone and look it up
This had been happening since the 90's. Expansion Pack, Dsi, Wii Motion Plus. And not just with Nintendo. It's at a price point that lends itself to refreshes more so than relaunch.
And it doesn't effect Smash4 far as I can tell so bunk that noise.
This is my only fear with it. Marketing is going to be as bad, if not worse, as the Wii U.
"The New 3DS. Is it a new platform? Is it an upgrade to the 3DS? Who the hell knows?!"
You could replace 3DS with Wii U in that statement and you get how the Wii U originally was.
I'm still hoping they'll change the name for the US but it probably won't happen.
I think you underestimate Nintendo if you think this name means they can't put out another 3DS revision later on.
I want this for Smash because of the c sticking like qualities.
I love the size of the XL but I want the case swaps to show the world my individuality, only it's only available with the smaller model.

I think you might be getting ahead of yourself. I've heard nothing about Smash 3DS being affected by the NEW 3DS or having the capability to use the c-stick for smashing. (Though wouldn't it be funny if that was a big reason why this revision is bing made.) I find it hard to believe that Smash 3DS will come ready to use it in a control scheme when it gets released later after the Smash has already shipped. Has there been any word or statement on the c-stick being usable for Smash?I love the size of the XL but I want the case swaps to show the world my individuality, only it's only available with the smaller model.
I get this is appealing to some but it means nothing to me. I usually keep things the way they are. It might come from cooking. When I make recipes or eat other cooking, I eat it as created to get a true sense of what it tastes like and how things blend. I've long stopped using condiments to add or change the flavor of things after they've been served. Likewise, I just don't bother with changing and personalizing other things. My computer desktop is just the default desktop. I bought a GBA Micro but it was the Famicom edition so I didn't want to buy any other face plates. I was happy with the look of it the way it was. Thus, I'd buy the XL as I'd want the larger screens and losing the personalizing option doesn't bother me at all.
