There are wild rumors of a 3DS redesign but no concrete fact. You are given a friend code per 3DS system not per game. The battery is estimated around 3 hrs per charge if 3D, internet, and lights are fully on. There are several rpgs out for the 3DS: -Shin Megami Tensei -Tales of the Abyss -Heroes of Ruin (coming soon) I think it is a good time to get a 3DS. Nintendo and 3rd party companies are ramping up releases. Much of the features of the 3DS is more fleshed out.
