Xenoblade (port?) _exclusive_ for new 3ds (no "old" 3ds)

[S.Peelman]

So it's basically like a GameBoy Color or DSi to the 3DS. The GameBoy Color is obvious, but even the DSi had a handful of games that weren't compatible with the regular DS and vice-versa. There could be a handful of games that only work on the N3DS because of the beefed up CPU.

Then again I'm not even fully convinced yet this is the case with this Xenoblade port. (EDIT: People claiming to know Japanese confirm translation, but it doesn't change my point) I'm hoping there's going to be a US/European Direct very soon.

I don't think it's such a big problem. It's a good step to prolong the life of the 3DS.
