Is the New 3DSXL worth getting if I already have a 3DXL (I'd sell it obviously)

It's basically a $100 upgrade to the new system that will likely be their next major handheld focus. Im going to get it but only because I use my 3DS a lot and don't mind paying now while I can sell the XL for value. Idgaf about xenoblade but I know nintendo will make good games for it eventually

It has a superior processor, head tracking and c stick, but the choice is up to you, my friend.

i wonder how many games are going to be new 3DS exclusive, really. from the comparison video the load times on it loving blazed the original 3DS but is the power gap actually gonna be a big deal?

im on this boat too. xenoblade is perfect since it's niche and fuckers will buy anything to play it but i doubt they're going to make some sort of big transition to utilize the extra horsepower and gently caress over anyone with a regular 3ds.

Samus, I can't authorize you to embark on this mission yet. These aren't regular space pirates. You're going to need more power.

What do you mean Adam? How can I get more powerful?

Adam opens his mouth, the game freezes abruptly and you are taken to the store page for purching a New Nintendo 3DS.

Hopefully more than just Xenoblade. After the DSi which supported basically nothing in DSi mode (aside from the scant few DSiware titles, which had a few gems) I hope Nintendo learned their lesson. I have faith.

I can certainly understand this sentiment as well. I would just like to see the New 3DS as a sort of extras where you could have features that wouldn't work on the original 3ds but you could still play the games on an original 3ds if you wanted. That'll probably never happen sadly.

well, games where you're messing with a third person camera a lot will p much need the new 3ds to be comfortable. so uh, monster hunter. and that'll be it probably for the rest of the system's life

Wry and wise,
but also very sexual.

they just announced that new downloadable indie 3d shooter game, that will be good with c stick

edit: the head tracking works fantastically well, ask me anything about the new 3ds xl as i have owned one since november

I pre-ordered the Monster Hunter one as well. I have a problem. I'll probably cancel the Majora's Mask one before it ships though.

The black ones are likely already sold out, along with the AC adapters.

if you want to play monster hunter it's a big upgrade because of the c-stick.

otherwise it loads everything a lot faster and has non-hosed up 3D. if you dont care about any of this, don't get it.

i dont think it loads everything faster, just games made to take advantage of it, which is why they always show smash and monster hunter

Same. Checked in with my local GameStop and gauged the response. Should have no problem picking it up to game through the Valentine's Day weekend.

So since I have 30 or so games on my sd card does that mean I'll have to buy another really big sd card and transfer them onto that? Or do I just put the old sd card into the new system and confirm my nintendo account... It isn't telling me in the support site...

drat, if Burst supports the New 3DS hardware or can at least somewhat take advantage of it that would be epic. The framerate is like my only problem with that game.

There's a vita version as well. It has more characters and better fps but most people agree Burst is the better game over all.

well you know, most things and pretty much any new/recent game. i dont expect old games to magically run better with the new hardware, unless they got software updates to take advantage of the processor.
