What??????????????????????????????

Saw Japanese Direct now it just looks like the regular 3ds and the 3ds xl.

Is this from the Japanese Direct?

- 4.88 inch screen 3DS LL
- 3.88 inch screen 3DS OG
- ABXY Buttons color coded
- A new stick like button (like a small slide pad stick)
- No need for circle pad pro
- Wider 3D sweetspot?
-NFC embedded in device
- HTML5 Support
- Faster CPU for faster downloads and browsing
-Removable battery?

makes sense since the sales of the wii u is kind of lacking. This 3DS.ll will compensate

Please put more information in the OP:

I hated the fact that there was only a Nintendo 3DS XL available here and that the only way to get the old smaller one was second hand or get a 2DS instead. Hope this version will arrive just in time for Pokemon Silver so that I have a nice gift for my sister and for myelf ofcourse :p

Good thing I wanted and did not get the xl. With this ds line I seem to buy the first and the third.

This needs to make it westward before Christmas. I need that New 3DS XL.
Watched the whole direct and it was totally worth it.

This is cool and all, but I don't think I will buy it!
