Hoepfully now, used prices for 3DS start to lower on different websites (AWD:hot:).

Curious as to why this wasn't shown at E3. Seems kinda strange to me.

No second analog stick? Fail.
I agree I got a 3ds after the price drop and even back then the second stick was rumored. I returned the 3ds pretty fast and am much happier with a Vita. I might get another one tho. It was pretty fun and if nothing else my kids would enjoy it and I got a r4I card for it too.
So, now Zoidberg is big huh? That's more like it! Who's intimidating who now big city? Hello Mr Chase Manhattan Bank! Deny my credit card application will you?

true. Nintendo def. needed this, cause their press conference sucked the most and thats saying something, but yesterday Nintendo finally revealed 2 things that everyone was curious about.
Why they didn't just show this at all a e3 in the first place makes no sense.
1. This
2. Super Smash Brothers 4 will be developed by nacmo bandi, but the lead designer is still head of the project.
Im not good at detailing things so here's the article- http://www.ign.com/a...next-smash-bros

Because it's ugly.
Definitely won't be upgrading.

I'd say it's a good reminder for people looking for deals on a 3DS. I mean maybe somebody will see this and hesitate buying a new 3DS.

In addition to a second analog weren't they debating turning down the 3d imagery too?

That's one ugly handheld. Hopefully they do a little more redesign with this thing. Thanks op for the info!

It wasn't shown at E3 because it would have detracted from the buzz they wanted the Wii U to get.

Awesome, guess I have no reason to get DSi XL! I've heard people complain about the look of DS games on a 3DS.
Hoping the picture quality of DS games are as good as a DSi XL if not better, on this newer 3DS XL!
Now I have to really decide on which system to get Zero Escape: Virtue's Last Reward on. The Vita has my digital PS1 and digital PSP games. I have more physical cartridge DS games though.

I agree, It looks like a kids laptop toy to me. I have the orginal one and will be sticking with that.

Small satisfaction in knowing that it doesn't include 2nd analog. Shuts up some of the people who insisted they will only get it with the inevitable second stick revision (which is less likely to happen now with this coming out). It does look ugly though, so I'll stick to my Ambassador Cosmo black one.
#19
Posted 22 June 2012 - 11:25 AM
I don't know why they implemented that second stick add-on only to snub it for the redesign.
Only want a 3DS for SMT V, so I hope they tinker with this design a bit more. It's a bit ugly as is.

It's not a redesign, it's only a bigger version. They'll probably save a revised version for next year.

If it was a full on redesign you'd have a lot of people pissed off. This? This is an "upgrade" for those who felt the original was too small by making the screens almost twice as big. If you value portability, the original's better. If you value screen size, the XL is what you'd want. Eventually Nyko will release a battery for it too that'll double the time (which, as you'd expect, is higher).

A bit mental that it won't have a second stick or a cradle but...I'm over it. Glad I waited.

anyone see any SPECS on this..
same size as the DSI XL or bigger.. looks bigger for some reason
Top screen 4.88 bottom 4.18
3ds 3.55 and 3.02
xl 4.2
so the Top screen is going to be alot bigger while the bottom stays the same.... Why are the screens two different sizes...

Well I had no intention of getting a 3DS til they made a bigger screen, and they did it, and I actually like the redesign better than the original, the rounded edges look smooth, and the buttons look nicer plus extra battery life to boot. I'm sold, bring on August!

Because we all know they hit it out of the park with that.
#27
Posted 22 June 2012 - 12:40 PM
I'm waiting to see what the battery life looks like. I hear it's pretty bad on the original 3DS, so unless they dramatically improve it here, I will probably sit this one out.

Posted 22 June 2012 - 12:51 PM
Oh, wonderful. 90% larger screens and superior battery life. So I guess we have until Black Friday to sell our current 3DS if we wanna get this one on sale so we can also afford the Circle Pad Pro.

At least in NA we are getting a AC adapter...in Europe they get the privileged of buying it separate.
