And what's being done with that added horsepower? Essentially nothing. There's about 15 games taking advantage of it, most of them are first party, and most of them are only using it for quicker load times, many others are just taking advantage of the additional inputs. Third party devs are effectively ignoring it.

Again, check all games in the list that i sent you, not only games taking advantage of it but also exclusive ones. You said 3ds to New 3ds is a small step, but it is not by any mean

You can argue that it isn't a small step all you want, but the fact remains that the graphics processor is exactly the same in the new 3DS vs 3DS. That pretty much says it all about how big of a step that actually is. Imagine and Xbox One X or a PS4 Pro, with all their upgrades, except the GPU remains the same - these machines lose a lot of their usefulness, and I'd argue - much of their appeal. Nintendo has done some nice things with the added processing power and RAM in their own offerings, but pretty much everyone else has shrugged, and released 3DS game after 3DS game that treats the new 3DS like it doesn't even exist.

Since the new 3DS has come out, hundreds of games have come out on the 3DS, and you're here praising up a dozen exclusive games, most of which are small e-shop titles, Super Nintendo e-shop games that are arbitrarily and unnecessarily locked to the new 3DS and another dozen that take advantage of the hardware most of which are in very small ways. That is not good no what which way you swing it.

So yeah, I'm going to stick to the "small step" claim. It's pretty obvious that's all it is.

Again, that is almost none. Third party devs are effectively ignoring the additional hardware. That's not great optics.
