[Gokulo]

Envy!
I never had a 3ds previously, so I know I'd want to buy a shitton of games as soon as I get this, so many great games waiting

Grats and the ambassador is just the NQ new 3ds? not the XL?

[Odin'sLaw]

Yeah its nice but I'm getting old I need a big screen

[Ratatapa]

Same i need the XL lol

[Lyall]

Was budgeting away for a new computer but if this gets announced it gets my money, flat-out. I am consumer sheep.

[octopus]

lol I was going to get the XL too, but then I found out faceplates are only for normal size ones

[Hitoshura]

I am still debating that myself, thinking of keeping my current XL and possibly getting the new small model but I know I will keep changing my mind until then lol.

Odin answer this for me

How is the Handling between New small and old small 3ds
and how is the screen are they the same between new small and old small?

After touching the old XL i can't go back to old small, so if handling/screen is the same between old and new small then i can't get it

Extremely disappoint that they changed the buttons and colors to same boring solid crap.

How do you know? The Japanese new 3DS LL has the same color scheme (only the normal sized new 3DS has the SNES color buttons):

Wait is that date NA or eu

[Kirin]

If the leak is true, 2/13 is for NA.

As for screen sizes, if I recall correctly the New 3DS is between the 3DS and 3DS XL in screen size, while the New 3DS XL is equal to the old 3DS XL.

3DS < New 3DS < 3DS XL = New 3DS XL

Little bummed not to see a SE New 3DS for MM. Still having my fingers crossed.

It's gotta happen, with all the Skull Kid pre order sell out hype, it should be no question. If Persona got one of all games.. would be retarded not to.

The handling is about the same but everything looks and feels a bit cleaner sorry for no pictures Destiny took my attention last night (crota during the psn lag down kinda screwed me over)

Spoiler: show

Spoiler'd for extra huge comparison pic.

Screen size has actually been increased for the new 3DS (read: not the new XL model), let's just hope it actually get announced here. That advertisement I posted above only mentions the XL, and that kind of scares me. It wouldn't be the 1st or 10th time Nintendo has let us down. If it actually does get announced during this morning's Nintendo Direct, it's going to be day one for me, colored buttons or not lol. Just the fact that it has face plates, increased screen size over the original 3DS, and the other added benefits has me sold already.

This review really pushed me towards the smaller model: http://tay.kotaku.com/nintendos-new-...yet-1679148755

The smaller one does look good and feels good tbh I do recommend grabbing one if you've been looking at getting a 3ds
