I just find it weird, it's like they've launched their next handheld in all but branding. I mean it has 2 new buttons, an extra analog stick, more powerful components and games that will only work on that console. It's a 4DS that is backwards compatible with the 3DS and DS.

It's like they went to launch their next handheld, realised they had a crappy launch lineup and changed it to a 'new version' of their current handheld at the last second to save face.


Disagree. I feel that this is what the original 3ds should have been. It should have had a second analog nub, as evidenced by the many games that would have greatly benefitted (monster hunter, resident evil, kid Icarus). Also its most celebrated feature by Nintendo (the 3d itself) was widely neglected by the 3ds audience (if it's not held at the right angle it becomes blurry and hurts the eyes). I feel like they were upgrading the 3ds and realized how out of date the system really is, so they pushed the upgrade further than they ever have before. I will admit that some aspects make it seem like a new system, but in the end it is an updated 3ds that will have a few software exclusive releases that would not have been able to run on a normal 3ds.

i wish they would have saved Xenoblade chronicles for the release of their next system. Imagine a handheld Xenoblade chronicles on a glorious HD screen with improved controls?
