For me its biggest selling point is the stable 3d. Im probably one of the few who really loves the 3d. Like genuinly think it adds to the immersion. I dont use that word often but for me the 3d does really give the impression like you are looking inside the screen or occasionally see things pop out. Its a nice gimmick that adds. But like anyone knows, with the og 3ds it isnt very ideal and requires a sweet spot to get the best out of it. For me it isnt that bad, but its definitly not ideal.
I just got the mh4u n3dsxl. Firstly it looks really amazing and the build quality is so much more improved than the OG. The new 3ds stable 3d is amazing! I can move my head and there's some kind of eye tracking thing built in the camera. It even works in the dark. Its perfect
The second analogue or camera nub if you will, is really bad. It works for the camera but its not very comfortable to use. At least not on the XL I have. Im sure the small n3ds is a lot more comfortable to hold and use with the easier reach of buttons.
The new 3ds has been out for a week worldwide now. Anyone decided to get one? Any general thoughts about the n3ds are welcome too ofcourse
-
I was able to try out the system at an eb last weekend. That stable 3D is damn impressive.
I was in the same boat as you CT. Loved the 3d gimmick throughout all versions of the 3DS, but hated how it required you to basically freeze your neck in position. Given that Streets of Rage 2 - 3d is on its way, I'll probably trade up on that improvement alone.
The snappy fast system menu is pretty sweet too. Haven't tried out a game that uses the nipple yet, so I have no idea how well it works. The additional shoulder button placement also seems dumb.
All that being said, they did 3D right, so they win my money.

I didn't mind the 'nub' but it aint no C-stick. It worked fine, I used it in Smash and Monster Hunter 4 (demo).
Monster Hunter 4 actually looks nicer (texture wise) on the New 3DS. Thats nice.

I've played Majoras Mask on a couple demo units and I have to force myself not to buy one. The stable 3D is fantastic, the screen quite nice (I don't own an XL), and speakers are a major improvement from what I'm used to. What stops me completely from buying one is the absurd way to change the SD card (which is now microSD), since it's now a "replace and forget about it" process, rather than having a slot and cover to keep it accessible. I'm also holding out for a potential limited run of the small New 3DS, cause the cover plates for those are fantastic. Also, if I'm spending $200 for something then it should go towards getting a PS3, which I've put off for so long and still can't justify right now.
-
Do you change your SD alot? IT comes with one already. I don't purchase many titles on the e-shop outside of retro games, so I don't really care about moving it out.
-
There's a feature which allows you to connect with the router to exchange files between computer and 3ds memory. Surprisingly this is much easier than it sounds and its crazy how nintendo hasnt mentioned this at all, anywhere. Its a big deal and pretty impressive.
You need a windows pc or laptop though. Go to system settings>data management>micro sd management.
Follow instructions from there

Not interested in XL version. Guess I'll be waiting a while. Thanks Obama
This guy loves his new 3DS

They aren't going to release the regular size New 3DS in America for what I hear.
-
Yeah.. That's the only reason I'm not buying one.
-
Yup. That's why I said I'll probably be waiting a while. Will probably have to import it. There is a region unlock hack, but it's still pretty early in terms of software life. Too risky right now in my opinion. Will wait until the software matures more.

Honestly, just get the XL, I don't see what the issue is?

I never really cared for the feel of the XL, my wife has a blue one and it's pretty uncomfortable for me. I also thought the idea of the faceplates was awesome. I'll stock to my ltd edition ocarina of time 3ds for now
-
I do have a feeling that the New 3DS will come over too, after they sell out of the old stock. Will faceplates make it over? Doubt it. Seems like a very Japanese add-on that won't take off here.

Im from eu so I could have gotten the normal n3ds. But i bought the xl thinking the screen for the new normal was just as small as the original normal one. Now that i got the new xl, holding and seeing the smaller one the other day at the shop i can honestly say that i can really understand why people are mad. Its just so much more comfortable to hold. Yet it doesnt have all the cons of the original.
I really hope it comes to the state for you guys and personally i may get one if i got money nd have nothing to spend it on. The mh4 n3dsxl is too hard to let go and sell but i may give it to my brother or something.
-
Exactly what CrazyTails said. It's easy to see from pictures alone that the new 3DS is a fair bit bigger then the original 3DS. the 3DS XL i find to actually be a bit too big. Which is why I wanted to try out the normal new 3DS. oh well, not the end of the world. I really do love the form factor of Vita though. it's perfect.
I got a new faceplate for my 3DS #rebel.

the picture doesn't do it justice. Bad lighting and a bad camera.

Dang, looks cool as hell. Did you make that? Looks custom.
-
Thanks! and nah, it's not custom. It's actually a premium quality sticker. I was sick of seeing Yoshi! Lol
I got it from here:

they create stickers for all kinds of devices based off artistic designs submitted by artists.

Should I trade my XL for a New 3DS?
I'm comfortable with the XL size, but the head-tracking turns me on. What should I do

I put my 3DS XL for sale to see how much I could get out of it. If it compensates well with the N3DS purchase, id buy it, do the transfer and then give it to the buyer?

Yes. Question is if I will feel my experience less enjoyable because of the smaller screen.
-
What annoys me is to get money for a new XL, i'd have to sell the old one, but I want to transfer my old data. It would be nice if stores like Gamestop had a program where they buy your old 3DS, and do an in-store transfer to the new system. Cell phone shops do that, where you can trade in your old phone.
-
It would be nice if Nintendo wasn't so shit at account management.

Fixed it for ya!

I guess they want you to shell out 200, go home, transfer, go back to the shop and sell your old 3DS.
-

You should go with XL if that sits better with you. Otherwise only way to find out s finding a shop that's got it on display.Fixed it for ya!
Kind of overboard with how many great games the 3ds has delivered. The content transfer stuff is pretty terrible though
