Online gaming publications Eurogamer and Joystiq have been told by Nintendo that the new Nintendo 3DS console won’t be coming to North America and Europe until 2015. The newly announced console with an improved CPU is launching this year in Japan.
“Different territories make their own business decisions regarding individual products and timing,” a Nintendo spokesperson told us. “We plan to launch these products in Europe in 2015.”
“As for the overseas markets, our local subsidiaries will separately confirm. However, there will be no U.S. and European launches this calendar year.”
Can’t wait!😋🌸🍂
They better be as cheap as the current ones when they launch…
Meanwhile, Andrew House is performing “Taps” on his beloved portable… which I can’t mention here. Ha ha…
Whoever that is…
I’ll be ok with them being just a little more expensive.
16,000 yen and 18,800 yen = about $149 and $179 US dollars.
How much are the current ones?…
Fuck, I love how Nintendo is releasing better and better stuff, but my wallet can’t keep up.
If your wallet can’t keep up then my dark resources won’t last much longer than 0.03 cycles…
I will make a plan, even if I must sell a kidney, Nintendo comes first, all else, second.
Fortunately for me, I only need upgrades…
$170 and $200 respectively
They aren’t going to sell it for that low. Different currencies work only for their country or region.
Unless you meant that the current ones are 149$ and 179$ respectively which I think is a bit pricey…
I hope so.
I think they’ll be about $20 more than a 2DS.
And as usual, they’ll be overpriced in my territory because of the Xbot Zealots that gives Xbot consoles a pricecut even before they are released…
The original launched at $250 USD… I will not pay early adopter prices this time.
My fellow comrade has been promoted I see…
As my friend Magneto once said:
“That’s why in chess the pawns go first”
lucky, in Australia for launch it was $350 :(
using the Japanese pricing as a guide the New 3DS will be around $150 and the New 3DS XL will be around $180. Oddly enough, they’re actually cheaper! The usual 3DS is normally $170 and the XL is normally $200. With these New versions being double what the originals were the price is definitely justified.
I agree I just bought a 2DS & returned it because of these New 3DS another reason is that they say thes DS are necessary to play all 3DS games cause the current models only play most 3DS games i’m going to be pissed if it $200
Why would it be? Its upgraded hardware in every respect… from the processor to the 3d. additionally it is capable of doing more… if you cant afford it then find the money peasant
They will be 180 according to the yen conversion of the Japanese price
ya ebay has them for 200 and jp has them for 1600 yen = 131
Outstanding news!
I’ll wait till a Limited edition version is announced or if there’s a huge discount
Wait a minute…is that little grey button that second “stick” they mentioned…?
Oh here we go…
No tell me. WTF is that? A “stick” or a button?
Yeah. It’s better that it’s small
….okay. This just almost killed my decision to get this. WTF kind of excuse for a stick control is that?
If they added another full sized circle pad, the 3ds would have to be extending.and Your right hand would hurt after a while from the button / pad placement, since they’d have to be close or far from eachother.
Look at PSP/Vita. I don’t see a problem with shrinking 4-button pads slightly, relocate it down and then stick in the dual analog. Bam. That “second stick” is just some fucking button which IDK WTF it does.
Do you have ANY idea what it takes to design a circuit board?
God you make it sound SO EASY!!!
Its not a button its a second analog nub it’ll probably be used for the view in games
I know that. I’m saying from sight it looks like a button. Even the Japanese ad of its reveal didn’t even animate it to show its a stick.
I think it’s totally fine since the circle pads aren’t meant for presicion shooters.
Sometimes I wish you could just use a keyboard and mouse on consoles, but at least there’s good ol’ Steam :)
Yes…
OMG….
Yes. It is. :/
It’s a miniature of the left hand side one.
So we’ll miss any chance for a holiday sale but at least our consoles are as up-to-date as possible here for a little while longer… meh. So much to buy… Nintendo’s getting rich off of me.
I’ll be buying it despite these hypocrites saying otherwise, I think this is an awesome idea and by the way guys… IT’S OPTIONAL… you can still play games from the NEW 3DS on the older models…
No you can’t…
It’s not “optional” if you want to play certain games. The ZL and ZR buttons along with the C-Stick and most importantly, the “improved CPU” makes this basically a new handheld with confusing branding. The Xenoblade Chronicles new 3DS port won’t work on regular 3DS’ or regular XLs.. You HAVE to buy one of these to play “new Nintendo 3DS” games down the line…
I wish that was the case…
False. Xenoblade Chronicles for the N3DS has made it clear the games will not be backwards compatible… Not all at least.
it is backwards the acknowledge the ds games during battery life
Someone fell asleep in class…..
Nintendo, stop… I’m trying to save for a PC but you won’t let me! :(
Agreed…
Easy solution: DON’T BUY..just yet. XP
I need to upgrade myself to handle all these new weapons High Command is developing…
Yeah but that “second stick”…somebody fucking kill me. -_-
-Activating Annihilator Beam-
Why can’t Nintendo get that shit done right? -_- Shrink the 4 buttons a little, move them down and then slap in the second stick as fully sized as the left.
It’s not as if anyone uses these sticks for all games anyway…
My problem is, this is still mostly a bad idea and they should have waited for the Nintendo Quadraxis model and the CPU for it to be 3 times better…
*facepalm*….
Don’t you facepalm me…
Okay. *double facepalm* lol
-Takes aim-
Translation, why launch a half-ass upgrade, just enough that it’s not directly compatible…when they could wait a little longer and release an HD version… A full upgrade.
Indeed, I think it’s obnoxious that you must have this new one to play the new games…
With that in mind they should cost about the same as the current ones are…
Nintendo is ripping off people like usual. They could of just released all this stuff with their next handheld.
stop bitching if u dont like it dont buy it =.=
You know how old that post is? XD You’re mad late on this one. lol
Terrible idea that segments the market further. The console looks good, but you’re now segmenting your market. It doesn’t work well for publishers, which ultimately doesn’t work well for Nintendo, and frankly, doesn’t work well for consumers. The benefit of consoles is the plug-and-play aspect. You could buy a console, and buy any game for that system, and know that it works. Now that is removed.
Also, with the shift to different versions of consoles compatible with different games, consumers will be pushed towards holding off on a purchase waiting for the next new thing, next version of the handheld. The cellphone business model is not ideal for consoles.
To Nintendo: If you guys are going release it, PLEASE DONT REGION LOCK.
You know they will region lock this. Nintendo never listen.
True. (Sighs)
it’s just another 3ds with the same hardware and features.
SHUT UP narutard
Except that it’s not. It has upgraded hardware and exclusive games coming out for it
you know you want it
You didn’t read anything did you?
Seriously though, come up with better names!
“New Nintendo 3DS”, whoever decides the names should be annihilated and let me name the systems…
Well, I think it sounds better than Xbox ONE. Freaking ONE
Well the Xbox Done is always crap…
But why not the Nintendo 3DS Ultimate?…
It’s like how apple always calls the ipad “new” retina or something. Gamecube was great though…
Indeed, the Apples are the worst, they come up with a new iPad every 6 months…
Then annihilated your god who brainwashed you….. iwata.
My Lord never brainwashed me, otherwise I would only be another blind Nintendo drone buyer that would buy eveything at launch…
He’s the one coming up with all of these shitty names and everything else ever shit at nintendo.
Are you getting that new 3ds sometime? I really don’t care. xenoblae is on it but im pretty sure the wii version will be the overall better version. Though that game on a handheld would be cool.
I need proof…
Only if the new Metroid is created for it, otherwise not until it’s about 50% cheaper…
yeah, don’t get scammed by nintendo. This is complete bullshit if you think about it. If they were not going to fuck you over they would have waited for these new games played on there real next handheld.
This is a kick in the ass. This is just as bad as people getting ripped off by wii u at launch.
Trust me, I might love the empire but I’ve never been blind because I was formed by darkness and darkness never blinds you unlike the dreaded light…
Why are you calling Iwata lord? Still don’t get it.
Post Script: Apple releases ipads probably once per year. Don’t hate them, they pretty much invented the mobile platform.
Invented or not, still annoying and right off a ripoff, much like this New Nintendo 3DS…
this is perfect for me becuse i was gonna start saving up for an XL at the start of 2015.
its like nintendo are watching me :3
They are known to be perverts who make little kids work 10 hours a day for less than minimum wage. :3
Can’t argue with facts.
How long have you been on this site?
I haven’t been on this site for months man. I left for the longest time, for over half of a year. I first came to this site like somewhere over a year ago.
Ok
Seriously why? I thought you would have a better reason than ok.
He might be your secret fan…
*wink*
Or he has a thing for your bum
I hope the NA version has the purple colors for the buttons. I want the white one already!
So if the new one supports HTML5, it can play videos on the browser?!
Even though I just got my 3DS, I’m not really mad over this.
If they say 2015, it pretty much means the later half of the year.
The rate, which I can save money for gaming, I would most probably have save for 2 of these, while still getting all the games I want for Wii U, PC and 3DS.
That gives everyone plenty of time to save up!
I expected a lite version not a version 2.0 with more power and exclusive content. I don´t like this. I´m not to big into handheld gaming so i don´t want to invest into hardware to often. A true next gen handheld would be easier for my wallet to accept.
Good it´s coming 2015, just got a 3dsxl this year.

This is a shame imo. I’ve been thinking about selling my 3DS anyway, due to not actually having that many games that I’ve enjoyed so far, SM3DL is probably the one game for the system I really loved – I thought A Link Between Worlds was like a Zelda-lite and far too easy – I really don’t understand the praise heaped upon it.
Anyway, the only thing keeping me from selling the thing was the promise of future games from Nintendo. Seeing as I might not be able to play them on my current console I’ll be sticking my 3DS on ebay this weekend before the value of the old systems really plummets when this news becomes public knowledge.
Someone would have to release something TRULY INCREDIBLE that I couldn’t get on my Wii U/PS3 for me to buy this updated system :(
Should have named it the 4DS
Bam. I should work for Nintendo.
Anybody else disappointed that the old school colors are only available on the smaller new 3DS?
You know how many people I see on the net complaining about this update? Too fucking many. X(
As an anonymous representative for Nintendo I am going to be the first to point out that Japanese and American Nintendo don’t usually do the same thing EVER… Look at everything Japan gets first plus the only difference in games is going to be camera control and amiibo they are still 3ds games and will be playable on any 3ds system however the camera would be restricted the point of all the extra buttons is to be submerged like you are physically in the game and this is the reason Nintendo is the closest to VR gaming thus far the games won’t change except settings wise and the only reason Nintendo came up with the new system was to make use of the Amiibo function that they promised to deliver at E3 and I GUARANTEE THAT YOU GAMERS WOULD BE MORE NOT GETTING SOMETHING THAT WAS ANNOUNCED.. example pokebank delay

I don’t know how I feel about the new 3ds yet to be honest…It sounds like they made some better changes..but some of them are questionable until I actually get to play it. I was thinking about getting a 3ds xl earlier this year but I guess I’ll just wait it through….And whats up with America and Europe not getting it until 2015? Also not just to throw negatives out there but the graphics on the Xenoblade re-release trailer they showed in the Australia direct don’t even look that great especially when compared to the psVita….I mean come on I thought they added a higher cpu or tech…
My prediction for the New 3DS/XL some people will like the size of the new nub some will complain Nintendo moves the A,B,X,Y buttons down a little bit in order to make the second nub equal in size as the first one
