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.

Where are the list of games get enhanced and amiibo support? SNES on 3DS are emulator, 3DS hardware can't emulated SNES games at flawless fps because the CPU is too slow. Do you know psp can emulate GBA game on paper? However, only a selected of games, for example, let emulate Kingdom Heart Chain of Memories - a 2D game only on psp. You will be very lucky if your psp can reach to the main title screen. In contrast, DS can play all GBA games no problem. Why? Because it was built backward compatible with GBA. Do you know New 3DS CPU clock at 800 MHZ, even faster than vita which was 333 MHZ, 444 MHZ if you hack. Check the list below:

You honestly want to argue that the base 3DS cannot emulate SNES games? Don't kid yourself. You're not fooling anyone. There is literally no reason to think a base 3DS cannot emulate a SNES. If you need further proof, here's a homebrew SNES emulator for the regular 3DS. Sure it's not perfect, but it's made by a couple people in their spare time, and not made by Nitnendo itself.

As for your list, it isn't actually very long. That's what I've been saying. I'm not sure why you feel the need to post link after link to the list and then post the list itself. But, according to the list you provided, there are just 22 N3DS enhanced games (21 if you note that Shantae only takes advantage of the extra control stick), among the literal hundreds of 3DS titles that have launched since the N3DS came out in 2015. In 2017, two games were enhanced for N3DS. Two. Developers are ignoring the new 3DS's additional specs. They do not care about it. How can this not be made more clear?

Amiibo support is a joke and not worth mentioning. If you want to act like adding support for the NFC reader in the N3DS is somehow "taking advantage of the additional performance" then you have bigger problems.
