Will the current model cease its production and be replaced by this 'new' 3ds ?
Also, is this really going to be its name, 'new 3ds' ?
I have a 3DS purchased on sep/11 and its directional button is broken so this will be a good opportunity for me to shift it
It does look like the Japanese price is about what a 3DS/3DSLL costs over there, so I won't be shocked if these new units replace the old ones.
I think people are freaking out as if we have to get one. Like, there is only ONE game that is exclusive and its a Wii game. i won't be shocked if its made to easily port Wii games and we see a few Wii ports here and there (don't be shocked seeing Mario Galaxy soon).
But guess what? I have a Wii and Wii U. I'm good if that is what they will be doing exclusive. Don't get me wrong, if I didn't own an XL i would be all over this, but I already do and I'm not getting this just because... its too late in the 3DS life cycle imo.
I really would have rather had a ACTUAL new platform of Nintendo handheld that just happen to ALSO play 3DS games.
