I hope it's true, and that Majoras Mask comes out very soon after.

so will I be able to play xenoblade on an old one? you'd think they'd already have learned there lesson about naming their consoles almost the exact same thing.

so whats good on the 3ds? been enjoying my wiiu, maybe the 3ds would be good while commuting on the train. weirdly enough, ive never seen anyone use one on it, mostly kindles and candy crushers on iphone and poo poo.

zelda link between worlds, smt iv, etrian odyssey series, rune factory 4, fire emblem, bravely default + assorted usual mario games + many more

No you see this is the New 3ds which is different from buying a new 3ds. I mean why would you buy a new 3ds when the New 3ds is coming out. Unless you want to wait for the next Nintendo handheld upgrade to come out in which case you could get a Used New 3ds rather cheap. And if the used New 3ds is cheap just imagine the prices on the Used 3ds.

Also how much blood do I need to sacrifice so that Nintendo will start making handhelds with large wide screens just like every other handheld device?

The 3ds screen is smaller than what was on the Gameboy pocket.

Hory sheet, this is big big news! I knew it was coming, but not this soon. I bought my 3DS on launch day and have many attachments to it however. I will need a good game to come out for the New3DS before upgrading.

So what's the scuttlebutt on this thing's price point anyway?

Wait that little white thing above the face buttons is the second analog stick? that looks useless as gently caress.

You can get a lot of mileage out of a nub control wise.

It's not supposed to be another analog stick so much as a dedicated camera nub.

Remember the little orange nub in the middle of old laptop keyboards? Looks like an orange pencil eraser? People with no mouse used it to control the cursor? Didn't work for poo poo as I recall?

It's basically that but hopefully innovated to some point of actual functionality

I think it'll help with controls, but I already have the 3DS Circle Pad Pro, which has a second circle pad that's identical to the original instead of being a lil nub.

Price on this thing anybody?

Price for the N3DS is rumored to be the same as a new 3DS. Same goes for the XLs.

lol i used to play FPS games on one of those for a while. its no mouse, but they work okay if you just get used to them.

and its perfectly fine for anything that isnt an fps unless the one on your keyboard is a piece of garbage. there's a surprising amount of room for making precise movements with them.

I'm telling you that the price is close to the price of an old 3ds xl, so you can figure out how they might price it wherever you're from, which is what that other guy was speculating.
