It will feature "New 3DS"-specific titles that are not playable on older 3DS models, which may imply new encryption keys(though blocking title-launch of those titles on old hw could be done other ways too as well).

According to official sources, the following changes have been made hardware-wise:

Faster CPU

Better 3D screen technology

MicroSD-slot instead of normal-sized SD-slot

NFC support

Two circle-pads instead of one

New buttons ZR and ZL
