Have I missed something about this handheld? Has there been any new exclusives for it, besides XC? I wanted to get one, but now I think they are more concerned with whatever the future platform is. They haven't even showed off any new bundles, or special editions. 

You think it's still worth upgrading if you already have an XL?

I'm actually pretty disppointed with it. I knew there wasn't going to be a slew of exclusives, but I also expected more than like two... 

Thoughts? 

it's the new model of the 3DS, like DSi was for DS. So new exclusives weren't to expect.

Is it worth upgrading - hmm, depends. It is a bit faster in menu and stuff and some newer games (like MH4U) have better textures or similar improvements. Also 3D-effect is a lot more stable for movements (I tried). The second analog stick (or nub) is great for some games like MH4U, Ironfall or Zelda MM. Ah yes, and the small variant has changeable faceplates.

So, there are a lot of minor improvements, but nothing serious. You have to decide for yourself if it is enough to justify the purchase.
