Pre-ordered from BestBuy. Might scalp, dunno.
was about to preorder the MH4 one but realized... waiting is a better idea this time I think.
>wait for potential price cut (happens regularly for nintendo shit)
>maybe a future version of the new 3DS XL will have changeable plates
>only 1 new 3DS game that interests me anyway, MH4 being available on normal 3DS anyway. just need the circle bad pro
that and really don't wanna give up my pokemon XL, easily my second favorite 3DS design ever (first being the fire emblem 3DS)
this seems like a good idea, i was going to trade-in my current XL since i haven't turned it on in quite a while, so i can at least have a hefty trade-in credit, backup all my files to my sd card before that. But this new one is just very damn nice, so i may just get it.
This is great. I was considering sitting this out because I didnt want to lose my saves for Theatrhythym and all my downloaded stuff.
Only problem now, is that I cant trade in my old 3ds xl.
Do you have to do it that way? cant just go to pc and copy paste files?
I am also expecting a new handheld in the next year. 3ds is nice but the resolution is shit.
Nintendo doesn't give a shit about resolution.
This right here would be a deal breaker unless Nintendo themselves can assure me I would get all the old games I bought as well, I plan on selling mine but only if the MM n3DSXL is available locally for me, otherwise just gonna wait till later and hang onto my XL. Just happy Majora's Mask is releasing 2 days after my birthday, I hope it gets a midnight release on the 12th.
Also if you have a capable PC, by all means you should play Xenoblade on Dolphin, would be doing yourself dirty playing an even more nerfed version.
If they take my regular 3ds as trade in (it doesn't have stock battery has battery extender idk if that's a deal breaker) then I'll get a new one since gamestop would be 170 for 3ds and 3dsxl combined. If not, then I'll just wait on a price cut
Btw Siliconera is saying that while NA gets only the XL version, Europe will get both the normal and XL and also in February. Dunno what's the source on that.

Update: it seems legitimate as zavvi.co.uk already has pre-order for both the normal and xl verions.
I thought it was known that Europe was getting the regular and nXL? Though I guess I just assumed since the Ambassador version was announced last week that they would get both. Looking like NA is the only ones that won't. Maybe if the salty tears are plentiful enough to wash the wax out of NoA's ears we see them later on? Doubtful I'd guess.
I was thinking of getting the MH4 edition if the MM doesn't work out today, but none of my friends play MH. Got boring playing through with only myself. I also think the MM edition looks better.
I guess the only thing would be that you most likely won't get one of the "limited edition" versions. If they do come out with face plates for the XLs, though, you might be able to get something good anyway. Really depends on if you want a "hype" device, or you're happy getting a cheaper one and customizing it yourself.
the regular sized old 3ds has been discontinued since the 2ds came out in the US as well, so they might just not be marketing that size one as it doesn't sell as well stateside
Did Amazon just never get stock for these? Looking for it just pulls up Japanese imports.
Amazon and Nintendo apparently got pissy with each other a couple years ago, so Amazon does not sell any 3DSs only third party sellers do.
Been dissapointed with Amazon lately. No majora mask 3ds, never get release day shipping hardly for nintendo games, and they didn't get any of the type-0 CEs while bestbuy and Ebgames did. Amazon better start stepping up their game
strange amazon.ca has NEw 3ds XL black and red, just not the special editions
