sooo is 3ds get new menu look?
Xenoblade remake is exclusively coming to the new 3DS, and that really makes me sad
no….its on the old 3ds too
“During the stream, Nintendo president Satoru Iwata announced that a remake of Xenoblade Chronicles is currently in the works and will be released for the New Nintendo 3DS models”
i wonder how itll only be compatible with this new one when they have the same cartridge reader
its not a new system, its a revamped 3ds
same cartidge still compatible with old games and new games its like the 3ds and 2ds
Different features on the new 3DS, two new trigger buttons like the Wii U has as well
exactly but how could the cartidge not be read if they have the same game cartridge reader
nintendo is messing up right now ;~;
Just when I think they can’t do better than the 3DS, and the next leap forward is a 4DS, which would come years later, they come and show an upgraded 3DS! It’s everything I dreamed in a hand-held too! FMLFMLFMLFMLFMLFMLFML
or an hds
Oh yes!!
WOW tc your right i re looked at it
DAMN nintendo messed up big time with this console and stuff
lets hope that dont do this NEW 3ds thing with pokemon too ….
we know at least oras is on the old 3ds
what if they announce NEW Omega ruby and NEW alpha sapphire…. with update camera angles
or delta emerald for the new 3ds id laugh
I just realized. This new 3DS will most likely be powerful enough to run Pokemon’s overworld in 3D. Y’know what that means, old 3DSs only have 3D battles and the whole game will be in 3D for the new 3DS. 3D Hoenn..
well its too late for ORAS now tbh
They would’ve been informed by Nintendo waaaay before we probably even knew about ORAS and I doubt it’s that hard for them to program the overworld to be 3D enabled for the new 3DS, ORAS still has a high chance to have a 3D overworld
u do realize that the new 3ds is getting exclusives for the new 3ds its self that the old 3ds cant handle
not cause on the games it says playable in 2d some parts in 3d
Couldn’t really tell right now.. We’ll just have to see when both are released
u do realize it would be unfair that japan gets improved hardware for ORAS and we dont because we dont get the New 3ds untill next year
I’m just saying that they could easily make ORAS’ overworld 3D if they wanted to. Especially now that the new 3DS will be an option. They’re getting the improved hardware earlier either way, it has always been unfair. If they can play ORAS in 3D before us, big deal. Not like everyone uses 3D all that much anyways.
The current 3DS is powerful enough, Smash is gonna be full 3D. It’s just laziness or time constraints on the part of GF
i think the real reason why gf isnt doing ful 3d is cause full 3d will lag ORAS SOOOOOO MUCH
that they cant do it
If Smash can run entirely 60 FPS, Pokemon can too. A lot of work tho, and GF isn’t a big company
no cause pokemon and smash have different styles of play
smash in full 3d is different than an overworld of pokemon in full 3d
And all the stages in Smash don’t count as being overworlds lol.
no not at all.
You see how much 3d battles lag in xy when 3d is on
IMAGINE THE LAG OF AN ENTIRE OVERWORLD IN 3D
also think about it would you seriously keep 3d on the entire game?
Yes, it lags because they have the game running at 30 FPS lol. Smash has the game running at 60 FPS, that’s the difference.
if pokemon managed to get 60fps then itll work but at its current state it wont work 🙂
starts to imagine 60fps pokemon
Exactly what I’ve been trying to say
sorry for the misunderstanding then 🙂
idk why the caps randomly turned on XD
Styles of play is separate from the programming that goes into it. If Pokemon wanted, they could make the games 60 FPS and full 3D too, instead they have the games running at 30 FPS or something
I knew I should have watched it live…holy heck. I can’t even describe what I’m looking at.
The NEW Nintendo 3DS! With NEW features
I KNEW this would happen. I’m so confused, does this count as an entirely new console?
No, it’s just the NEWest thing that nobody kNEW was going to happen.
Shulk SMASH……..duck hunt dog should be official confirmed
Duck Hunt Doge for Smash
hes in already :'(
Duck Hunt DOGE
OHHHHHH
Didn’t expect that didja!
Will all this new stuff, i’m just sitting here worrying about work….
I’m off today, so happy, but picking up paycheck later so not technically off ;~; Must go out of house, ugh ;~;
What a coinkydink, i’m getting payed today too
But work still suuuucks
I like my job, but recently the schedule has been brutal ;~;
I hate mine, my boss yells at me if he sees me with my earbuds, or sitting down, and one person complains about the bathroom and i get chewed out
Sorry about that =/
I have work today and pick up my check D:
so do we got approximate pricing on the new consoles?
70000006660069$
…
very funny seriously tho
Don’t ask me.
in $ its $145 and $188
nice guess XD
154 dollars for 3ds and 181 for xl
I guess I’ll be getting the smaller model “new 3DS”, since I gave my old smaller model to my friend. I can’t believe it though.
You gave a 3DS.. To your friend?! O.O
Can we be friends?
I wouldn’t call it “gave”. More like a devious plan in which he gives me $100 and trades me Y exclusives.
Oh. In that case, we can stay as internet strangers. xD
Im so hyped for getitng the free smash 4 soundtrack ;~;
Free?
The most popular franchises will remain on ‘old’ 3DS, mosltly due to the install base. I reckon most new games can take advantage of it like BW did, with having extra options when using the N3DS, like having access to the extra shoulder buttons. N3DS exclusive games will most likely be reserved to more ‘hardcore’ games that have a real need for the extra horsepower, like the new Xenoblade.
this might mean that this new overworld zelda may come on the new 3ds cause this extra power might give it the great support it needs
The recently revealed new Zelda will remain exclusive on Wii U ;). Even with the extra horsepower, the Wii U is still far more performant.
true that can only mean one thing………majoras mask >:D
which runs on the same engine as Oot
reason why Im upgrading
Not gonna pay 80 bucks for xenon on wii
Majoras mask 3d for the new 3ds it can work well with camera angles 😀
All i want to know is if that lil C-Slider can work for Smashes
most likely
Narighty, because i really hate using the A+ Direction way….
it always charges up when not needed
reason why I never used the wiimote
Gamecube Controller master race
[2]
There’s a New 3DS Smash bundle if I looked right on the website.
Hmmm that could be problematic….
And the little nub will work the same way as a Circlepad Pro will, so I don’t see why not. 🙂
That thing still exists?
Hmmmm this is tough, everyone is getting the 3DS, and i need to be in top performance
YESS cause the nintendo 64 had the stick to change camera angles like this new stick
Why limit the cases to the smaller N3DS?
More people like the bigger screens because it’s easier on the eyes.
Still debating on this system.
I don’t think it’s worth it.
smaller means more portable. and with that you got an accessory I guess to personalize. The XL really isn’t something that fits in a pocket
I own an XL and it fits in my pockets perfectly.
are you a kangaroo?
the XL is MASSIVE
same
It’s not that big tbh
plus the new 3ds is bigge rthan the original so its like an old xl but better
Definitely not worth it if you already own a 3DS/3DS XL
Yeah.
It’s just unnecessary buttons.
there is only one extra circle pad and the zr zl from the wii u
Yea but its good for RPG type games now
And the “better” graphics.. Yeah. I don’t see a difference. The faster internet? Does anyone actually surf the net on a 3DS? O.o
yea but u get more features and limitations that the old 3ds couldn’t Handle
But nobody uses the 3D anymore which defeats the point of stabilizing it on the N3DS.
And I don’t use the eshop to buy games and I don’t think many people do either.
It’s really only useful if you use those.
its gonna be nice for the people who have yet to get a 3ds but those who have a part of the family it isnt worth it really
Plus they just came out with the 2DS, which is now the complete opposite of the N3DS.
tho i personally like this new 3ds i may get it
Go for it.
They’re minor updates if anything.. I doubt the new one can outperform the old one by all that much anyways
And it’s a tad bigger than the regular 3DS and 3DS XL, which I guess is ok.
its gonna be like comparing a iphone 4 and an iphone 4s
iphone 4s is slightly faster has better inhancements and new features
Normally i don’t hate things unless i get a hands on analysis
I don’t hate it,
I just think another 3DS was unnecessary.
I was thinking 3DS HD, and this is the closest we’ve gotten to that.
then dont buy it then simple as that
Don’t think of it as another 3DS, think of it as the next generation of Nintendo handhelds (such as Game Boy Color, Game Boy Advance, etc)
I think it’s more a strategic choice. There will only be one sze of cases, and it gives people a reason to buy the smaller model.
The smaller model hurts my eyes.
i agree
i personally like the smaller option anyway so its a score for me ^_^
I love how people are finding excuses not to buy it, although this is clearly targeted at people who had some gripes with the old model. Don’t buy it if you don’t want it, and if you can’t afford it, your older stuff won’t get worse.
I’m just afraid that they might put games N3DS exclusive.
Already done. Xenoblade Chronicles.
Yeah ik
N3ds games aren’t going be all the games after the system released they are going to make games that use the power and sources the N3ds and will give games that are on all 3ds systems exclusives features that N3ds can handle that others one cant
But what if they do? They can’t support older stuff indefinitely, that’s the way it’s always been done. But I don’t reckon they will pull the plug on the old model immediately. Stuff that comes out on N3DS alone would never be able to release on old 3DS anyway (like the Xenoblade port, it still looks shit on the new 3DS)
Yes but didn’t they also say during the direct that they would be releasing an add on control stick for the 3DS to help with the camera angles?
And the 3DS has been doing so good lately, pulling this out of nowhere, I doubt they would make many N3DS Exclusive games.
3DS sales have collapsed though, compared to last year. It’s not doing badly, but not good either. Nintendo needs this new model to entice new customers that feel like the old 3DS was too slow and cumbersome in use.
the 3ds and new 3ds comparision is really like comparing the iphone 4 and iphone 4s
hey guys….. Remeber the Dsi…. oh yeaaaaaa alot of people bought that. this is basically the Dsi of the 3ds
and the dsi got a xl too :O
Screw it, I’ll go for the new 3DS XL even though I already have the Pikachu 3DS XL. Go big or go home, as they say.
Yes m8 i might as well later go for the new 3ds small
I might still do that instead, I’m not positive yet. It’s not out until 2015 for Arceus’ sake.
yep so we got time
then when japan gets it we can see some reviews on it and comparisions to get our research
it has better CPU and processor too
The way I see it, If you already own a 3DS, it’s not worth it but if you want it, go for it. If you don’t own one yet and want a handheld, it’s a no-brainer, go for the new 3DS (given that you can afford it) it’s a great time to buy one. This is most probably the last update to the 3DS line before the next generation of handhelds, so if you want to get into this generation, now’s the perfect time.
I’m gonna buy it just because I buy mostly every Nintendo handheld. Only ones I don’t have are the Pocket and DSi
My least favorite no doubt is the original 3DS, what garbage.
;~: its my favorite of them all
The buttons are too stiff, the stylus is in a sucky location, the 3D turning off creates lines on the screen, the plastic feels cheap, ugh so many things that made for an uncomfortable gaming experience
hmm never experienced those 0-0
to eacht there own 🙂
Design-wise, it’s the prettiest. But with such a small screen, I can see why you’d think that :p
No you’re not. You’re the cheapest mofo I know. ;-;
In what way?
😉
Exactly, I hardly spend money on anything else, I save it for things I actually want xD
I’m not gonna spend $160 on shoes…like some people ._. 😉
#rekt
Ha I knew it! New character! And es Shulk! Cool 😀 Were his moves and everything elsethe same as Iin the leaks?
yes XD
yep hes not a marth clone he has different setting he can use…. he gets a counter as a shield
what if this direct wasn’t suppose to happen until like next month and the leaks for smash and sakurai cuss at Iwata to a do a direct
Hence the title of the video “Looks like we don’t have a choice” ;_;
Really! i did not the know… but it makes me love sakurai more now XD
omg!! people are angry about new 3ds LOL
I might buy one….
I was looking into it.
I like that it’s bigger than both regular models, the camera angles could be useful, and yeah.
u gotta love sakurai for the names he comes up with for his trailers XD
