Forums - Nintendo - Do you think it is a good idea for Nintendo to put out a new 3DS so soon?

......I would...but in this new model, they fix so many issues gamer were addressing: Poor 3D function, browser speed, lack of a second stick, added triggers, better screen function, camera function plus flash, HTML5 support ....idk feel too soon but then again the 3DS is the only successful dedicated handheld gaming device in the world of mobile device. Might as well keep up with the time.



Don’t follow the hype, follow the games

I expect lots of angry parents when kids say their new game "doesn't work" on their 3DS and being explained they have to buy the "NEW" version of the system.  

Nothing new really. I was in EB today and a parent was returning a PS4 game because it wouldnt play on the PS3 -_-

Ok so thats the 1st time Ive ever seen that happen with something so obvious as numbers but still =P



Terrible idea, an hardware revision with exclusive games on it.



this is a bad idea. the system itself is fine. ANd yes some like to pull GBC out of there butts to try to justify this, but the Game boy had already been out for YEARS, it had been so long GBC was considered a different system by some. IMHO this move reeks of desperation they really are trying to move more 3ds' i doubt it will work.

I cannot imagine being a non gaming parent and trying to make sense of 3DS, 3DS XL, 2DS, New 3DS, New 3DS XL.

... Never thought about it like that. 

Mother of God..... Imagine having young kids too who don't know either? 


thats another issue right there, its like Nintendo forgot who the primary market for this type of machine would be

I really don't give a damn.. I will just stick with my good ol' 3DS! I will be missing on a portable version of Xenoblade? Big fucking deal.

That is sort of my point. If the public struggles with clear distinctions between consoles, no question muddled mid generation advances will cause even more head aches.

Also, 3DS audience skews more casual with kids and parents who tend to be more easily confused by not being in the know.  These are th epeople that thought the 3DS when it came out was just a DS with 3D.

No, it's the time for a new model, but not the time for a new handhled! The huge mistake is to make New 3DS-only games : people won't pay 170€ for slightly improved graphics or Wii straight ports.

I'm not sure about that. People paid $400 for slightly improved graphics or PS3 straight ports.





If you're interested in Nintendo content and understand german, maybe you want to take a look at my youtube channel! :)

Its not like all games will need it, and wats funny is nintendo has done this with every handheld aside from GBA (though it did get GB SP model), and it works out for the better. 

If you, me, somebody else wont buy it, 20mil others will. Its going to be huge for sure



New 3DS for my birthday next year I hope!
