    That 3DS is so fucking sexy. I gotta have one. Actually, how much of an upgrade is that 3DS? Are the newer games even going to support the older consoles?

    Also ANOTHER ANIME GUY WITH A SWORD!!!

    Also, from what I've managed to make of the video, the new 3DS has gyroscope enabled 3D ( for better 3D from any angle ), 2 more shoulder buttons, a second analogue stick, more sensitive / responsive slide pad / Dpad / ABXY, an Amiibo reader, faster software / better processing unit and improved screens, seems like a hell of a jump for people like me who are still using launch model 3DSs.

    I am so excited for videogames.

    Where's the second analog stick? Is it that tiny nub next to the face buttons?

    Yeah, it seems like it's gonna' be akin to the 'nipples' you used to get on laptops before touchpads became the convention. I used to use them all the time, so it's cool with me. Not like they could have added another slidepad in without making the system huge.

    Yeah, i t has a faster CPU. And apparently, the normal version (non XL) has swappable faceplates, so that's cool.

    XB 3DS is only for the new 3DS' though, which is kind of lame. I hope that doesn't become a trend.

    I've seen it floating around on news sites that Nintendo have other titles exclusively for the NewDS that are in development. Whether this means that the bigs guns are jumping ship to the new model to force upgrades or whether it'll be like with the DSi remains to be seen though.

    I think the computing power jump from the 3DS to the new 3DS is much larger than the one found last generation, though. I guess we'll see though.

    Also, 3DS home themes!

    I'm pretty sure North America will get the New 3DS/3DS XL as well. With all these new features and the fact that people will want Xenoblade 3DS pretty much confirms this. Although, how it will sell depends on how well Nintendo markets it. Putting "new" before the title may or may not confuse buyers. Also, I hope this means we will start getting portable Gamecube games (with the new analog stick on the right).

    Also here are a couple of things regarding the Nintendo Direct that Capt Marvelous forgot to mention:
    - Official 2-Disc Super Smash Bros. soundtrack announced. Must purchase both versions of the game and register both on Club Nintendo to acquire.
    - One Piece: Super Grand Battle X! - 11/13/2014 for Japan
    - Etrian Odyssey Untold 2 – 11/27/2014 for Japan. Official soundtrack also announced.
    - Monster Hunter 4G bundle. Comes with 3DS and the game. Releases 11/10/2014.

    Oh man... I want that new 3DS really badly now. The speakers on my current launch 3DS are basically broken for some reason so I kinda want a new one. I was thinking of getting an XL but not anymore!

    @Ice: I think Nintendo is gonna start making games exclusive to the new 3DS unfortunately... But it does mean we will probably see better looking (and better running) games from Nintendo. Majora's Mask 3D anyone?

    Also, this kinda feels like the same as the Gameboy Colour, don't you think? It was basically an upgraded Gameboy original with better insides and, well, colour.

    Hopefully they don't go down the route with the DSi and only make a small amount of exclusives for it. There was going to be 5 retail titles and only three of them were even released here. Kind of the reason why I never upgraded my DS, it still worked fine.

    With this, though, I do need the upgrade. My 3DS has a hard time reading infrared/wifi signals, which makes it hard for my to play multiplayer games, local or online. I need to sit right next to the router to get on to the eShop.

    I was literally thinking the exact same thing, except the color wold be the improved 3D. Haha.
    I honestly thought the original 3DS was an honest piece of hardware, it had decent 3D capabilities, and fine graphics, game wise it was way ahead of the game. I don't REALLY think it's time for a refresh. but that's me.
