Also, I don't know why people are bitching about it. If you just bought a 3DS, you should have expected an upgrade or new console to be coming sometime in 2015 (which is when this will reach us) or 16. If you bought it at launch you've had lots of life out of it already and more still to come. And new titles like Smash, etc, are still being made for all 3DS models.
And seriously, without the upgrade Xenoblade wouldn't have happened on the old 3DS models. So it's not like you're missing out on something you could have had. If you don't want to buy the new model, don't play Xenoblade, play the other games that are possible on classic 3DS. You didn't buy a 3DS expecting to play Xenoblade. |
I would have expected and accepted an actual successor to the 3DS by 2015-16. This is more akin to the N64 RAM expansion. Except that you have to buy the whole console again.
When you invest in a new next gen console after 4-5 years, you do so with the expectations of getting a lot of new games for that system in return for you investing in the hardware. That doesn't look to be the case here.
That Xenoblade is on it makes sense, and is fine by me. But if they start producing exclusive games for it that aren't old ports that normally wouldn't work on the old 3DS, then that's a different matter. And they may very well do so in order to give people more incentive to buy the console.

Are you saying that 3DS owners haven't gotten enough games to meet expectations? You crazy. This is an actual successor to 3dS and is coming in 2015. If they called it 4DS, stopped making games for classic 3DS and the new one didn't have backward compatibility you would be more happy? You crazy.
