New Nintendo 3DS

Whoa now, I go to sleep for just a few hours and all this news gets unleashed. I guess a new 3DS got announced called New Nintendo 3DS. Comes in regular and XL size. Regular gets custom face plates like Mario and Animal Crossing theme. May go with regular.

It's also got thinner design, amibo support, faster cpu, second analog stick and second set of shoulder buttons, wider field of viewing for 3D, and micro SD card slot. Also it'll have exclusive games. Xenoblade Chronicles was announced for it. Oddly there was only a Japanese Nintendo Direct for this I think. Kind of weird.

October 11 release date in Japan. Nothing announced for anywhere else.

edit: Looks like Europe won't be getting this until 2015. I'm hearing that's true for all western regions but nothing has been announced for NA yet.

Still trying to catch up and see what else it's offering.

I'm a bit in my cups at the moment.
Maybe it's because I just woke up but I burst out laughing at this...

I guess the 3DS will have as many versions as the DS did.

I'm kind of bummed because I just upgraded to a 3DS XL this year, but if it doesn't come out until 2015 here then that lessens the sting a bit (and that's just how the tech world works now a days, not like the DS had lack of upgrades), and I can always sell my XL to help pay for it. Not like its collecting dust, I'm certainly getting my money's worth.

I highly doubt it will, but I so wish the NA version sticks with the Famicom colored buttons that the Japanese version has. It gives it so much extra style.

Geez what if they did the remake of Majora's Mask but only on this NEW 3DS?

My guess we will get a solid white new 3DS. That seems to be the popular thing these days.

I guess they could decide to make Majora's Mask a new 3DS exclusive, assuming the game is being made at all. It wouldn't be necessary since OoT worked just fine on the old 3DS, but they can do what they want I guess.
