It makes me angry that there are going to be exclusive games that I can't play on my normal 3DS. Thanks Nintendo.

I recently got a 2DS and I'm annoyed at the fact I might miss good games. When the PSP brought out a system with twice the RAM, it just meant original systems would load levels slower than the 2000 and later. Nintendo has to make everyone buy another system to play new 3DS games.

And then people ask "why global warming happens". Because of Nintendo!

All joking aside, i just found it somewhat irritating. Since Nintendo is wiped out from my current country, that's OK though.

At first I got really annoyed... I was getting a brand new 3DS XL on the upcoming weeks (which still needs to arrive from the US to x country) and thought my purchase wasn't worth it anymore with newer 3DS models along the way. Then I realized that it probably won't arrive outside JP until 2015. I'll simply use my soon-to-be mine XL in the meanwhile, then sell it for around $100-$130 (since I will not use it for that long and I tend to keep things in brand new condition). Then the New 3DS will technically be just a $30-$80 upgrade, and a pretty good upgrade.

I'm not getting it at release, that's for sure. Will probably only get it when I feel there's enough things exclusive to it that warrant a purchase. Xenoblade isn't enough, and I have that game on Wii already. I probably won't be trading in my 3DS XL though (have the Zelda one).

wow that is dumb, if they aren't doin it for system requirements I don't see why we can't just add the analog add-on for these games that require the new c stick

Looks great to me! Been wanting a 3DS for quite a while now so I might pick up the new one.

never owned a 3ds yet so i'll probably get this one :D. but i understand how angry it would make a 3ds owner feel :/

It felt like a giant slap to those 44 million 3DS owners. Fucking cheap-asses, they are slowly turning into the new EA.

And it fucking has exclusive games, fucking idiots, shouldn't have bought the first 3DS model to begin with, [sarcasm] but hey I got 20 old-as-fuck Nintendo videogames, that's so coooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooool [/sarcasm]

Actually it could make things better for me. Only two games I have ever bought asap for full/almost full price were Pokémon Diamond and Transistor. I feel sorry for you guys, but if it means that new "old" 3DS will get cheaper I don't mind and consider buying it.

Well, as a old-bluelagoon-DS owner, that is not as frustrating as someone who'd just buy his... I never quite understood the concept of the 2DS, and wasn't too hyped about 3DS XL (I have a normal DS XL too so...), but if I had to take one of those last versions (because of games needing this one), it'd be the new 3DS LL for sure. I can't even quite understand why the 2 versions, who would choose the normal screensize over the big one for a difference of like $30 ?

I was actually pleased. Miyomoto recently said he wasn't going to pay attention the casual players,as they've got their smart devices for casual gaming. I believe getting a more powerful hand held will pave the way that was mentioned by him.

Nintendo jumped on the "we want more money fucking up our fans" train. I bought the normal 3Ds because you know, it has lovely games but now they decided to release a ravamped version that will have exclusive games I won't be able to play in my normal one.

I don't really care because I have Nintendo DS Lite

I just bought the 3DS a couple months ago and now this comes out...

Looks cool

It was high time. Sucks for those 44M 3DS owners who'll have to buy a New 3DS to play the New-3DS-only games, but hey, we can't be stuck forever in 2011.

Glad I waited.

gotta buy one, since i dont have a portable console since the first gen gameboy

oh im old

I am glad I did not by the 3DS XL yet, I will try get this at some point.

More CPU Power, a second analog stick (kind of), more battery life, better working 3D effect and that for the same price as the old one
In my opinion that sounds like a really great upgrade for the 3DS.
But exclusive titles that can't be played with the old 3DS really sucks. The 3DS was released just 3 years ago.
Perhaps the most games will still be released for 3DS and only a few titles, the old 3DS simply cannot handle technically will be on the New 3DS. If not it would really suck.
But to be honest, I'm going to buy the New 3DS anyway. Even if there weren't any exclusive titles. The second stick, the better 3D and the longer battery life are things I always wanted for the old one (circle pad pro doesn't count xD).

Who thinks of these names at Nintendo, seriously?! First, the 3DS doesn't make clear that it's an entirely new system and most of the crowd doesn't get it, then Nintendo fails at proper naming again with the WiiU, which had zero awareness and looked like a tablet controller that you could buy for your Wii, failing to make the new console clear to the masses again and now they name it New 3DS. I hope they change names when they launch it here, or I can see the miscommunication all over again, especially in stores with the exclusive games and angry moms and dads :)

Digging the super nintendo button colours! Improved viewing angles will be amazing too

They should've called it something other than "the New Nintendo 3DS." Everything I've read about it makes it seem like a new (but still backwards compatible) platform. Calling it the same thing but giving it new and exclusive features just seems like it was designed to aggravate people. I mean no one cares that a PS3 won't play PS4 games, but they certainly expect a PS3 to play PS3 games.

I am glad that I did not buy one when it had a special skin I liked
