@@ I just bought my unit 2 days ago....

dont worry so much , just enjoy the games that're available now and also anticipate the upcoming games like Persona Q, Fantasy Life and SSB4. It'll take at least 5-6 months more till we get the US models. You can sell your current 3DS model by then or before.

ya, 100% they forced u to buy it and 100% all the future 3ds game will not playable on old 3ds model anymore.. from our beloved nintendo

I don't understand what's the rage all over this.
In past time Nintendo also released NDSi which is basically upgraded version of NDSL (similar to what new 3DS is to current 3DS)
They also introduced several exclusive title for NDSi. But we didn't see all games are only playable on NDSi after that.

And as a developer perspective, it's a bad idea to develop game only for new 3DS. Doing that basically give up the majority and big market that Nintendo establish.

hahaha, thats what nintendo doing it right now

For sure there will be some exclusive title coming up for new 3DS.
Else the introduction of new 3DS will be quite pointless, and that will affect the sales of new 3DS.

I am saying, no need to panic over the "total replacement".
Link 1 basically just expressing Hironobu Sakaguchi express their interest on new 3DS. And again, it's more likely they will make it compatible with current 3DS. The biscuit is too big to give up.

Link 2 just showing those game are now selling in bundle with new 3DS, MH4 already released in JP for current 3DS and Smash Bro is definitely compatible with current 3DS too.

Link 3, they of course will announce some exclusive title for new 3DS, else no one will even bother about them.

IMO, I don't really like the new name. "New" 3DS is very confusing and can be misleading.
Imagine the exclusive title need to put a remark on the game box "Only playable on new 3DS".
And it made peoples think it made the current one "old", and meant to replace the current 3DS.
If they named it in model type like 3DSi then I believe the uproar won't be that big.

Wait wha.. It's going to be called new 3DS?.. Lol I thought it was called new because it was new..

I hope they change it to something else.. like Super 3DS or something.. S3DS..

I just bought the 3DS XL 2 months ago. I will get the new one when it comes out - but will still keep the current one as the old games still work perfectly fine, and I think future games will still support the old consoles. There is a huge market to just ignore.

I think there will just be 2 control maps to match with either console. My current console will be wife's

I think some of you guys are jumping to conclusion here.. they only announced one game to be exclusive on the new 3DS, and a "several" other title still in development... they are not saying ALL future 3DS games will be only for the N3DS...

Not trying to be optimistic here, but for me.. I'll wait till next year before drawing any conclusions.. Wait till there are more info, see what their plans are.. I can't see any third party would develop exclusively for the N3DS...

no argument about the name though... no problem for me, but I can see if anyone didn't like it...

is it cheaper now, new 3DS only 16000 JPY.

this is awesome, but they didn't release a new platform, just a subtle generation improvement

I am impressed at how Malaysian gamer keep giving such offensive and negative comment on this. Or trolling?
Other country people is just fine at how the new 3DS is going.
If you need to play the game that will be exclusive on new 3DS, then just buy the console. What's the big deal?

Not surprising.
Sorry, Contrary to Rumours the New Nintendo 3DS Will be Region Locked http://www.nintendolife.com/news/2014/09/s...e_region_locked

I didn't care about the DSi because it lacked GBA cartridge support. For me that was important because I skipped the GBA era and went from GBC to DS.

As for this new DS... Meh. I don't need it at the moment. Just spent money 4 months ago on a new 3DS (because 3DS XL hinge cracked and I can't get it repaired- Maxsoft doesn't want to have anything to do with it because allegedly it's not distributed by them). See first how many games will make that second stick, the L2/R2 button, and the NFC reader, compulsory. And even then I will only buy the normal version and not the XL version because I found the plastic material used to make the XL's case very filmsy.

Knowing Nintendo, I think still locked.

Nintendo dun know how to evolve and keep region locking their consoles. They still don't know how to listen to gamers.
