Barkley, Nintendo is a business. They want to sell new 3DS'. Therefore they need to give consumers a reason to upgrade. This is a good way to do it because its not holding anything from regular 3DS owners of great value.

Agreed. 20 year old games will sell new hardware.

No, but it adds value to the purchase. No one thing makes you buy new hardware. Its the complete package.
