Gimme dat price!!!

Japan its 15000 and 18800 yen respectively iirc.
So if it comes to US it will be similar if not the same as the current prices

I've always been bad a t currency conversion, how much is that in U.S dollars?

I successively thought :

- Oh! Very nice new new model :)
- 2nd stick + upgraded screen capabilities is cool :)
- What? You want me to re-buy the same Xenoblade?
- WHAT!? Games will be exclusive to this new model!!!??? This is no new model, this some fu** camouflage for new handheld!

They'd better come up with something better than Wii straight ports.

Nintendo stopppp! I have so many handhelds already. 3DS 3DSXL 2DS.

Not buying this one since a NEW 3DSXL is probably on its way.

Roughly $150 and $180

Called it.

Though the second analogue stick could've been implemented, I am actually very impressed by this. Very good upgrade for the 3DS, but I wonder how many games will actually support the new stick/ shoulder buttons? Will they have to start making games exclusively for this model, or will there be different control options? Either way it looks good. Might actually buy one for Omega Ruby.

I know this isn't related to the thread but boy does Iwata seems to have lost a lot of weight :(. Hopefully, he really is in full recovery like he said.

OP: I'm not sure what to think of this... Can we actually confirm that Xenoblade is exclusive to this particular model? If so, then I hope that this model never makes it to the west because I don't really want to spend another 200$ on a 3ds system...

 Thanks, not bad at all
