I have seen a lot of people complaining about this new model.Well...... yeah its kind of annoying, but a very smart move.
The trailer is right here ! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N1cwg6mUhAg&list=UUfAPTv1LgeEWevG8X_6PUOQ
The only bad thing is that some games will only work on that console, leading of with Xenoblade Chronicles. The thing is, games like Xenoblade couldnt have been remade if it wasnt for this model, so u have no right to complain.
I bought my first 3ds in Feb 2012 and then saw the new XL model announcement a few months later :(. The XL was way better and had a bigger screen and was way more comofratble, so I sold my 3ds and god the XL in October/November 2012, 2-3 months after release I think.I thought that was it and told myself i might skip the next model cuz I expected it to be like the DSi, but the added controls and CPU will make developing sometitles way easier.
I already have Xenoblade Chronicles. Got really excited to play it and decided to get it back in June and play It on my wiiu. Probably going to sell my wii version and get the new 3ds version, when i get the console. CANT WAIT TO PLAY IT ON MY 3DS!
It is also worth noting that the new 3d effect is better and is viewed from all angels i think.
So, are u going to get the new 3ds ? do u think it is a smart move by nintendo ?
I personally will and hope I get my hand on a Xenoblade bundle, which i believe will be released.
