Wait so this is a new system?.. Is it stronger than 3DS then? Weaker than the Vita? Do we even know the price? Is it just a GB to GBC kind of jump?

Will they still be region locked?

wait so they are making a new model and giving it a game and giving the 40+ million 3ds users the middle finger?

I may have to buy it, but I don't have to like it.

Anyway, I'm guessing that there will only be a few games that require the upgrade. Still, it's confusing for customers, and fragments the market for games like Xenoblade.

I'm fine with this as long as the other exclusives are downloadable games nobody gives a shit about!

Fucking bullshit

Everyone here needs to calm the fuck down. 1.) This is not a new system. It is simply an upgrade. They've done stuff like this before (GBA SP, DSi, etc.). 2.) You are currently missing out on ONE game...that isn't even new...that you can play on the Wii. 3.) If you really feel like you need to play this ONE game, go buy a New 3DS (which doesn't come out for awhile anyway) and sell your old 3DS. 4.) This is the most important point. XENOBLADE WOULD NEVER HAVE COME TO THE 3DS ANYWAY! THE ORIGINAL 3DS DOES NOT HAVE ENOUGH POWER TO PLAY IT!!!

I've had a 3DS for a long ass time, just saying. This really is a non-issue, so please stop bitching.

Probably like DSOriginal/DsLite -> DSi difference. 

Away with teh past, in with the new... i hope that 3ds and 3ds xl will be disc as well... just keep teh 2ds as it is different and cheap enough!
