February 12, 201510 yr What's so different about the new 3DS? Other than the size and new button. What does the button even do?
February 12, 201510 yr What's so different about the new 3DS? Other than the size and new button. What does the button even do? It has better hardware, meaning it can play games the normal 3DS can't. The only exclusive confirmed so far is a remake of Xenoblade Chronicles on the Wii, and that definitely needed the hardware boost to run on the New 3DS. It also has amiibo support, two new shoulder buttons, and a small second circle pad above the ABXY buttons.
February 12, 201510 yr What's so different about the new 3DS? Other than the size and new button. What does the button even do? It has a better processor that lets it run a little faster/do more at once, and I think a few other technical changes (idk). It's actually got two new trigger buttons (so now there's four), and the new "button" on the inside is a pressure sensitive nub that kinda works like a second circle pad (some laptops have something similar, though I don't think its very common). EDIT: Just realized Shulk answered you already. That's what I get for just skim-reading through the thread. X_X the n3ds hype is real! /jealous I wish NA was getting the smaller one, I'd probably get it (my launch 3DS is starting to wear out). But if/when it eventually does, I probably won't have money. -_- Edited February 12, 201510 yr by DragonMaster

Looks like I know what I'm probably going to invest in a few years.And the trigger buttons sound cool, but I guarantee they're going to suddenly stop working just like every other trigger buttons since the very first DS.As for the circle pad thing, it looks cool but I don't fully see the purpose tbh, but it's a nice extra feature.I also heard that apparently it doesn't come with an adapter, which I think is dreadfully stupid especially since for some people, this is their first 3DS/DS in general.

Looks like I know what I'm probably going to invest in a few years.And the trigger buttons sound cool, but I guarantee they're going to suddenly stop working just like every other trigger buttons since the very first DS. Like I said, it only has exclusive games because of the improved hardware. The only one announced so far is Xenoblade Chronicles 3D (Which myself and some others consider to be worth the upgrade, but I understand if others don't). I doubt they're going to move big series like Mario or Pokemon to New 3DS only. They're only making games exclusive if they absolutely need the hardware boost.

February 13, 201510 yr Wait DSi had exclusives? yeah. just the fact that you dont know about them should show something. this is one of the few there were: http://i.kinja-img.com/gawker-media/image/upload/s--Ae-2_CMw--/18hewqmtgp9x3jpg.jpg
