This is loving dumb. New features is cool, splintering the game library like the DSi did is not cool.

It really just depends what games they decide to release for the thing- thinking about it rationally I guess it'll be a while before I buy one regardless.

Well, Tokyo Game Show starts in a few weeks and Japan is 3DS home turf. We'll probably hear about some New 3DS exclusives then.

DSiWare aside, very few games even made use of DSi-enhanced features, let alone relied on them. Game Boy Color is a better point of comparison.

Sodium Chloride posted:Since the new 3DS has a faster CPU do you think that will mean old games that chugged on the framerate will run better? No. Upcoming games may get better performance, but old games weren't programmed to take advantage of the extra power and will run the same as always. In theory, they could be patched to use the faster CPU, but it's still on a game-by-game basis and I don't think most developers are going to find giving some years-old title a few extra fps for a subset of users worth the investment. Venusy posted:I think this is just "not fully compatible" for the same reason the 3DS itself isn't with these titles - the lack of GBA slot. Pokémon D/P/Pt/HG/SS should play fine, but you won't be able to do any of the transferring from the Pokémon GBA games. Similarly, I think the Phoenix Wright JP releases had extra features if you had the GBA versions. Correct, most of the games on that page just have GBA slot functionality that's disabled on newer devices, they'll work fine otherwise on the New 3DS. However, there ARE 3 titles that won't work at all on the New 3DS, since they have weird non-standard game cards that won't work with the new game card slot on the front of the system. I don't think any of them were ever released outside of Japan, though.

I've read elsewhere that it may be a slidepad but it doesn't look to have enough room to slide. It does look quite a bit different than your old IBM/Lenovo nipple mouse. To me it definitely seems there's enough room to slide a bit.

If you're feeling somehow slighted about them releasing a new revision then you're loving dumb and should get your head out of your rear end. The first half of the direct was talking about upcoming Old 3DS games, its not like your current console is suddenly obsolete or something and the exclusives probably will not amount to that much unless it sells a ton. Now, if you just bought a XL recently I'm truly sorry, RIP.PaletteSwappedNinja posted:Did the DSi actually do that, though?

Tusen Takk posted:Nintendo has literally lost their minds. It's an effective albeit roundabout way of implementing child filtering on a device that's largely marketed at children. The PR nightmare that they have to deal with every time a "my kid can go to playboy.com on his new NINTENDO SYSTEM!" is enough to make them at least attempt to be proactive about this sort of thing. I mean, sure it's dumb from a normal person's perspective, but it's .1% of the purchase price of the device, likely the smallest CC transaction they could offer. Hyperbolic freaking out with "LOST THEIR loving MINDS!" seems a bit misguided.

Policenaut posted:Siliconera translated the Q&A page on the official New 3DS website. I was worried about the "no transferring games/save data to a PC for storage" part, and checking the original Japanese website I'm not sure that's the case. The question is more like "Can I transfer just individual games and save data from the SD card?" As in, it's asking if you can transfer things piecemeal and the answer suggests you have to do the whole thing. I don't think it's saying you can't back up your microSD card to a PC. (Which doesn't really make sense anyway, how would they prevent it in the first place?)

Help Im Alive posted:I don't think New 3DS is that confusing. 3DSi or 3DS2 or something probably would've been worse. It's not gonna be confusing for us because we all read the press release and saw the explanations from multiple other sources. But we live in a reality where the Wii U, where personally to me is pretty self explanatory, still got passed off as a addon for the Wii. New 3DS is going to be super confusing for most people especially when its new features aren't that obvious if you're just looking at it side by side with the current models.

So is this name about the same or more confusing than the Wii/Wii-U names? Because I'll be honest it really doesn't look that different from the OG 3ds.

More then anything i'm just annoyed that Xenoblade Chronicles is New 3DS exclusive. At least that implies to me anyways that the new CPU is really powerful because I don't see how the current 3DS could possibly play that game.

I don't think it's really that they're marketing to children as much as they're trying to be more child-friendly, while still providing what older people want. I don't want that giant 2DS. I want something that folds up to protect the screens, because I care about the scratches that might be on it, and it possibly getting bashed around in my backpack.

Something that was on the press release that I didn't bother to mention: Fantasy Life is gonna have day-one paid DLC that contains a new area with new quests and whatnot. I'm only mentioning it now because it sounds like it might actually be content that was a part of the base Link expansion but is being stripped out and sold separately for the international version. Lame.
