New Nintendo 3DS: Now with Improved 2DS Functionality

[Omniyoji]

They should just put out that transparent 3DSXL they teased ~4 years ago last year as a 20th anniversary of the original "Play it Loud" Gameboys...

Wasn't there a Princess Peach one that was pink released in NA at some point?

I miss my old translucent gameboys, especially that frost gameboy advanced. I swear, gba got the most love out of me with the colors and variations to the units, although DS lite always had that sleek black that I miss so much.

Jesus christ the nostalgia bomb. I'd drop for a translucent N3DS in a heartbeat lol.

So I can't seem to find a clear answer, but I'd like to buy a 3DS or 2DS with a capture card, but own a 2DS with Pokemon X preinstalled on it. Can you transfer preinstalled games to a new system?

You can with the system transfer tool but you'll have to redownload the game on eshop

Animal Crossing New Leaf to support amiibo







Scanning an amiibo card in the game will summon that character to your village, giving you the opportunity of to have them move in. Definitely a feature many fans have been asking for! -

Also announced are new outfits and items based on Splatoon and what appears to be two new squirrel characters resembling Callie and Marie – famously known as the Squid Sisters. It’s currently unknown how these new characters will be unlocked in the game, but it would make sense that the Squid Sisters amiibo would do the trick.

Anyone know a good DS emulator for android that doesn't require root?

Finally was able to downgrade my 3ds and install custom firmware.

The FreEshop is the best thing ever

Sorry for crushing hopes of better news

Sorry for crushing hopes of better news

I'm more and more certain that the NX will contain some mobile component, because Nintendo is in full on "transition mode" that they normally enter between portable generation cycles, where everything they do is new skins and shell redesigns a la gameboy micro.

[Omniyoji]

Wow wtf is up with that 90s design... also why not a non XL version? I'm sure some people would appreciate that.
