It is genius, you kno how many of these are going to sell?

To millions of people who already own an original or XL version of the 3DS no less.


Yes. I hope fans buy this. Other people won't buy anyway and moms will try to figure the difference between New 3DS and 3DS 'cause Nintendo makes bad marketing decisions. New 3DS will have more PORTS of Wii/GC games with lags and bad graphics and then will announce an entirely new handheld screwing everyone with a New 3DS. Of course, they won't bother because they are brainwashed by their friendly Nintendo and will buy again.


this is why,i insist that the name should be 3dsi/3dsixl!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The problem is, why do I need to purchases 2 handhelds for this gen? It's gonna be awesome, it looks really cool and it will have a very long lifespan (which might be the only reason I will get it in like 2 years), but you have to wonder as a consumer, why did I buy the OG 3DS or the 3DS XL if their gonna release the definitive model some years later? 

That's why a lot of people (including me) are pissed off.

Is it a great idea? Of course! A dual analog stick, with ZR and ZL Nintendo handheld will be amazing, but not as part of the 8th Gen, since we already have another awesome Nintendo handheld to worry about.



Bet with bluedawgs: I say Switch will outsell PS4 in 2018, he says PS4 will outsell Switch. He's now permabanned, but the bet will remain in my sig.

Do people actually not remember the Gameboy Color? Like at all? Because I remember a LOT of games only being on the Gameboy Color and not on the original Gameboy.



Money can't buy happiness. Just video games, which make me happy.

I'll be very happy if it is like the GameBoy Color, where nearly all "GameBoy Color" games also worked on the original GameBoy, but you got colors if you used a GameBoy Color. Just this time, instead of colors it'll be better frame rates and access to the new buttons. This way it justifies the purchase of a New 3DS without screwing the owners of the old 3DS.

Why did you have to buy two handhelds last gen? The DSi had exclusive to the DSi because it had better hardware.

Nintendo has been itterating on hardware with releases since the original GameBoy. The one thing that's made the upgrade actually make sense is that all of your games continue to work just fine per generation. I, for example, updated my DS and (will) update my 3DS because the originals have started to wear out. My DS broke on the hinge from mismanagement, and my 3DS has always had a screen-tear that was from the fact that I bought it cheap refurbished.

at least it shows that 3DS still has a lot of life in it and that we definitely getting a new handheld announcement little alone release within the next couple years.
