Right!? ... ... *runs away*

[azoo]

DId you even read the article? :v

 

It's the New3DS smaller design that was released in Japan a while back that the western market never got.

[Dejimon11]

I think he's talking about the regular N3DS that the US never got instead of a new model

Stay put, matey. That's just the regular New 3DS model that we Westerners got jipped from, for some reason. I hope that this actually comes with a charger...

Let no-one stand in the way of a good niche-site-about-blue-hedgehogs journalist and good journalism, though. Even citing Gawker!

Oh for gods sake. 

 

I am not a fucking journalist, I'm a fan who updates a fansite. I am not paid to look into great detail into the news, especially stuff that I have little to no interest in, I do this as a hobby, you want these pathetic sly remarks/jokes to have some kind of lolz merit or generate some kind of laugh, pay me to actually look into this and post stuff as a job then I might actually look like some kind of fool when I walk in here under the banner of 'professional jurno' when/if I do post stuff which is wrong or inaccurate, instead of what this actually is in this case which is a misinformed fan who posted something which had all the signs of new information.

 

If there is an article there about a system which says 'new *insert name of system here* and people are commenting on it being a 'new system' gee it's not that much an unreasonable mistake to make now is it?

Comments like that really aren't going to help the atmosphere here. There are jokes and then there are uncalled for jabs.

 

The latter will earn you a strike if you keep it up.

If a comment upsets you, report it and let moderators sort it out rather than respond to it like this. A feedback loop of negativity is not what's desired here.

Correction, what the Americas missed out on. Europe and Australia got the smaller New 3DS, and the amazing faceplates as well.

[Cyrus]

NOW they're releasing the LL in the U.S. of A?? What is up with Nintendo these days?

Some faceplates, anyway.  Last I looked they hadn't yet released the ones I was really interested in.

[Tails spin]

You guys I think it really wasn't that necessary to grill Hogfather for being mis informed. But alas I will let that die. Since you guys missed or having talked about the fact that Nintendo may be planning digital download only games that only work on the New 3DS. I am curious to see if these games include first party outings .

[MegasonicZX]

Thank god if this is true, I despise the XL's but I wanted the New 3DS for the improved specs so it was pretty saddening when they only brought that one over but hopefully they're wising up and finally giving us the normal one too.

[Conando]

I can't say I really care myself (I can't stand how small the regular 3DS is), but it's good to see that people will have options. After all, not everyone has massive banana hands like me.

He could just be talking about The Binding Of Isaac Rebirth, which will be N3DS-only.

I've been seen the updates for it on gonintendo. Say are people surprised or excited by this? I know nothing about some localization choices

[Rucdose]

Here's something very fucking interesting.

 

So, Dragon Ball Z: Extreme Butoden is getting a console bundle in EU that includes a New 3DS, DBZ: EB coverplates, the game and.. a Digital SNES game.

 

Now, I couldn't possibly imagine why Namco would make a whole new version of Super Butoden 2 that would be considered eShop-original software if it's just gonna be the JP version anyway without a translation and it's a bonus exclusive to the console bundle or something, so with all that considered, Namco might of just confirmed that the SNES VC is coming to at least the New 3DS.

 

Or i might be a dumbo, i dunno

 

EDIT: Although at the same time, Super Butoden 2 was included on that J Legend Retsuden compilation pack they released in JP a while back on the 3DS, so it could just be a separate version of that.. But if they're gonna go to all that trouble to take out a portion of it and make that a standalone version, why wouldn't they just port over the entire J Legend Retsuden pack? Hmm.

Eh, it say Digital game not VC, which means it is most likely a port which we know is possible. We know the 3DS can run SNES games, problem is that it can't play EMULATED SNES games which require a loooottt more power

[Junko]

So, here's Nintendo's upcoming releases on 3DS for 2015.

• Skylanders: Superchargers Racing (20th November)
• Animal Crossing: Happy Home Designer (25th November)
• Chibi-Robo! Zip Lash (9th October)
• The Legend of Zelda: Tri Force Heroes (23rd October)
• Yo-kai Watch (6th November)
• Pokémon Super Mystery Dungeon (20th November)

[Salamander]

Maybe I'll have time to replay Golden Sun: Dark Dawn after all. *looks at Xenoblade Chronicles 3D on game pile* Oh.

[Mando-Whirl-Wind]

Yeah, I need to finish the first game as well on my wii-u XD

[JaidynReiman]

I'm not surprised about SNES and GBA VC potentially coming to the new 3DS. I think the problem with GBA and SNES is that they can't get it working easily without an emulator, and the emulator doesn't work on the regular 3DS and still have everything running smoothly. GBA games were added to the 3DS early on but they probably specially designed those to work on the 3DS architecture.

[Salamander]

But can anyone explain why the 3DS doesn't have a DS Virtual Console, though?  I'm sure there are DS titles I missed, and a lot more I'd be happy to double-dip on to support the concept behind them.

Also, while I kind of belittled this year's 3DS lineup just up there, then there are some really exciting things coming later this year in terms of eShop-original 3DS games.  ...Though European localisation being what it is, some of those could well be 2016 titles for me.
