Nintendo has released a new promo for New Nintendo 3DS XL. Set in the “University Testing Facility,” the video demonstrates how fast the recently-released system’s processing is compared to the standard Nintendo 3DS XL. Available now for $199.99, the New 3DS XL features a wider range of controls with the addition of a C Stick and ZL/ZR buttons, stable 3D via face-tracking technology and built-in NFC functionality that allows for communication with amiibo figures.
New Nintendo 3DS XL Promo Demonstrates The Handheld’s Enhanced Processing Power

Then how much more powerful is it?…
I’m tired of hearing things we already know…
I believe they’ve already said it’s 3 times more powerful than 3DS?
Is Meta Knight overpowered in Smash Wii U?
I don’t think anyone is overpowered…
Only the measure of skills decides who’s overpowered to another or not…
Agreed, I’ve creamed plenty of Meta Knights, and I’ve had my aas handed to me by plenty of Jigglypuffs
Little Mac is OP.
No, anyone that only plays as one character out of 50 plus character is not allowed to judge…
I even tried him. He’s balls and others that use him obviously only use one of his two BS OP moves. Side or charge punches. That’s it. Oh and his fucking KO meter makes it worse. WTF would you reward a player for taking hits and then turn it into the most noobiest BS perk ever? Worst than all of COD’s OP crap COMBINED.
Obviously noobs regardless of user or opponents…
I can quite easily destroy Little Macs…
Well that’s you Spider-Slayer
And the other elite commanders that can play games for real…
Little Mac is easy to destroy with most characters. Anyone with range or a strong air game.
Also, I’ve won some minor tournament matches with Gamondorf, so yeah I think the balance is better.
Nintendo is improving your ads. Nice
i want to know when we will get the standard size here in the US. I’m waiting….
Haha what a ad..i will maybe get new normal,that pixel nightmare of XL is no no
I got the 3DS XL Zelda ALBW bundle and then they release a better 3DS just over a year later. Fuck you Nintendo.
Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate is pretty good though. Tried the demo the other day.
Welcome to video games.
It has been like this ever since the Gameboy, blame yourself for lack of knowledge and for something that’s just common business…
No it hasn’t. The Gameboy Color came out 10 years after the Original Gameboy. The DSi didn’t have anything good the DS didn’t have.
No, fuck you. You KNEW this would happen. It’s always been like this. Be happy they aren’t like Crapple and releases a new phone every 6 months. Which has no good games and crappy ports of real games.
…except for the fact that Apple doesn’t release a new phone every 6 months.
Indeed, more like every 3 months…
Stop exaggerating dude. lol You know they update every year. Only when iPad 3 came out they updated it again in 7 months which was fucking bullshit.
Silence or you will be considered a part of the worthless cattle masses…
My logic is undeniable and the Applings are a force that must be destroyed at all costs just like the Xbots…
You got what you paid for so stop complaining. It’s no worse than buying a PSVita that no company is supporting anymore, not even Sony; its own creator.
Jesus Christ when will Nintendo realize that US wants the normal new 3DS!?
When will the gamers in that Xbot infected country realise that they complain about every little thing?…
How is this a little thing?
Cause it’s the little 3ds :p
Ba dum tss
When they’ve already figured out that it’s only a tiny percentage that want it?
So why don’t they post actual statistics if they’re so confident of the numbers? Just like how Ubisoft posted the 95% piracy rate of PC?
And EVEN THEN. The 3DS XL was everything the normal 3DS had, and better. Of course it’s going to sell more. But the New 3DS actually has some advantages, like clearer screen, faceplates etc. Nintendo isn’t getting it that faceplates especially can be a big moneymaker for them, like amiibo are
Now they’re gonna take a hit for not releasing the very new 3DS model the nation wanted. More people are gonna skip out on the XL especially since it has no charger which adds even more problems for its sales.
i think im just gonna wait for a new 3ds xenoblade bundle, if that will ever happen, but i think it will.
Exactly what I’m waiting for!! Haha
New 3DS + new Rhythm Heaven 3ds bundle. June 13 2015. I’m calling it. Make it happen!!
So…..Nintendo thinks this is NEW just because it loads faster? Seriously? Is that really worth spending yet MORE money just to buy this thing? I’m still not sold. I’ll have to feel very impressed with an in-store demo/kiosk of this before I’d ever buy one. And I still think that the name “New 3DS” sounds SO unprofessional. Super 3DS would have been better. Just like Super Wii would have been better than the horrible name, Wii U.
I have one and the loading times do make a huge difference. I can pop 4 games in and out before a Vita game loads. Also, the 3D is magnificent. I am still freaking out every time I move my head and it doesn’t break I’m so trained not to move my head. The sound is better. The screen is better. It feels lighter. The bottoms are softer or quieter or something. It us very different. I won’t play my old 3DS after this. Just try one and you’ll see.
*buttons
Can I have your old 3DS then? lol
It is “new” in more ways than you think. It has NFC, built in ZR/L trigger buttons, IR/Light Sensor with auto brightness/face tracking for improved 3D viewing as well as 60 degree (guessing) 3D perspective view; features that the original models never had but needed from the beginning.
Seriously Nintendo, you’re marketing the 3DS like crazy…. DO THE FUCKING SAME WITH THE WII U ALREADY!!
Agreed
STOP TOUNTING ME NINTENDO!
I TRYING TO GIVE YOU MY MONEY BUT NON OF THE STORES CLOSE TO ME HAVE IT ;-;
there’s this thing called e-commerce.

huehuehue
wtf
It’s photoshopped. Look closely, there are clear signs of duplication.
Vita lol
A what now?
^Obvious Nintendo fanboy is obvious
Doesn’t make it any less true, nobody knows what a Vita is except misguided cattle…
It’s a dead joke
So is the Vita…
Whoops :P
That’s still alive as a zombie trying to look for more dumbass flesh walkers to feast on with its wasted existence. lol
Putting obvious before and after anything is far more obnoxious than any fanboy.
These ads are phenomenal. Well done Nintendo, well done.
They really need to work on their naming skills. Even something cheesy like Hyper 3DS would have been better, or simply 3DS2. And Wii…
“New” as Amiibo quotation marks should be a giveaway that it’s a brand new revision of the 3DS that you can use Amiibo figures on and the box even says its a different system with faster processing and buttons. That’s good enough to avoid confusion from the stupid.
This would’ve been my 1st 3DS if not for 2 things:
1. Nintendo’s pulled a Nintendo and didn’t include a power supply (it’s not about finding one separately, which is simple enough, I just hate stupid jump-through-hoops crap like that)
2. Game theory: They’re just gonna unveil the 3DS’s successor at E3. So instead of spending close to $300 then see a new handheld and rage quit gaming forever, I’m keeping my money.
@Virus
Bravo for post !!! someone who is using brain..
Doesn’t mean it’s gonna come out this year idiot. Will take at least another 2 years until the 3DS is done. Also you don’t know if the next console will play DS and 3DS games. Have fun playing on your Atari during the time. Because according to your logic buying new consoles is useless because there will be something better later. Whee.
Yo retard,off course its not out this year,maybe next,but something will be on e3,and you go buy everything “new” from N every year imbecile..
It’s true though.
When the GB released, a few years later the GBA released backwards compatible with every GB and GBC game, and the DS was backwards compatible too
When the DS released, the DSi came, and 3DS runs DS games too
And yet, I don’t hear the same jackasses complaining about Microsoft releasing a new Xbox 360 and soon “Xbox One that’s not in Betamax size and equal to PS4’s built” or when Sony redesigned PS2/3 over 2-3 times in its lifetime.
More or less “available”
I want one… But every store near me is Sold Out!!!!
