-Nintendo has announced a brand new iteration of the 3DS known as “New Nintendo 3DS”. The system features a second analog nub and much more like a cartridge slot on the bottom and ZL/ZR buttons.

-New Nintendo 3DS is white and black. The XL model is metallic blue/metallic black.

-New Nintendo 3DS is 3.88 inch, 3.33 inch for the New Nintendo 3DS. It’s 1.2 times bigger than the original model.

-The top right of the New 3DS model has the little nub called the c-stick. It serves the same purpose as the slide pad. Nintendo went with the smaller C-stick so that the abyx buttons wouldn’t have to be moved/redesigned, and it’d still be close for the fingers. Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate, Dragon Quest X, Final Fantasy Explorers, and Smash Bros. all take advantage of this.
Additionally, the button colors come in the same color as the Super Famicom.

-New Nintendo 3DS can use the bottom screen to use NFC. In other words, you won’t need a special reader.

-New Nintendo 3DS supports micro SD cards. Data can be sent over Wi-Fi to PC.

-There’s also a more powerful CPU inside. That means things like HTML5 videos in the Internet browser will be supported.

-Will be released in Japan on October 11 this year.
 
Meh, I'm sticking to my old Pokémon X and Y XL.
 
*looks on internet*
Shulk in Smash?!
An NES Remix on 3DS?!
A new 3DS model?!
what the hell happened while I was asleep
 
i have no motive to purchase this

my regular 3ds works just fine, and most of the new features are just accessory.
 
My 3DS is actually on the verge of breaking, so I've been saving up for a replacement 3DSXL for ages, and I was finally going to buy it come the next school break, just in time for Smash Bros...

but these actually have really cool features imo, so now I'm torn between getting an XL now or waiting forever for the new 3DS to come to AUS and replacing my old 3DS then.

WHY
 
i'm in the same boat as gbatoad in that my 3ds is almost broken so i was saving up for a replacement, but now im definitely gonna wait to see whats happening with this one in the west, seems really cool

although there was one thing i didnt quite get (because the whole thing was in japanese, obviously) and that was whether or not it still supports regular sd cards? i know it has micro-sd support but i couldnt quite tell if it was only micro-sd. if it is only micro-sd then thats a shame because im quite content with my 16gb sd and it would be a pain to have to replace it

just rewatched the announcement and by the looks of it, no regular SD card support, but I could be wrong

e:just watched a bit further, yeah, the sd card slot is being replaced by the micro sd card slot

also, as expected, it's not hitting AUS/EU until 2015. Bummer.
