The handheld doesn't come with a charger, so if you buy it at the store and don't remember to get a charger, your 200$ handheld will turn into a useless brick within a few hours of playing it.

THIS is their plan to combat their declining market share? Have they lost their damn minds?
You're forgetting the part where its CPU is 2* as fast as the current 3ds. It has longer battery. Faster Internet Connection. The price is less than the current 3ds. It has a control pad. And it has other good features.

Also, their 3ds is already the dominant software on the market... and they're making a better version of it... I really don't see how they're doing any bad decision. They already won the hand-held race a while ago for this generation.

I sometimes play my 3DS all day. And obviously I still have the hands I need to type this message.

Assuming all game stores in your city gets destroyed while you lose connection to your internet, sure.

Didn't the 3DS or the XL version get shipped without a charger as well or was it just the PAL countries that had received the short end of the stick again ?

Anyway, seeing that I still don't own any of the current-gen handhelds, I'm looking a bit forward to the new 3DS version. Not that I'd keep track of news or anything like that *lol*.

Only Regular 3DS were shipped with the AC adapter and the cradle in Europe, similarly to US and JP.

In fact, US release of the 3DS XL is the exception: both europe and JP 3DS XL have no adapter included.

So I seriously want to buy the new 3ds because I really want to play Xenoblade (I'm an rpg fan and missing this game feels wrong, but I'm not buying a Wii for it and I hear finding copies is a nightmare since they are very expensive), so I might trade mine in and get the new one at some point, the sad part is I bought mine last december so I am pissed off Nintendo did this but they already did it with dsi to 3ds so it was expected.

The DSi also didn't have a charger included I think. Or maybe that was just the DSi XL, can't really recall.

But of course, people are different with their experiences with controllers and handhelds. I found playing on 3DS XL to not be enjoyable in that sense. Just like how some people hate certain controllers, while others are just fine with, or even love, the same controllers some hate.

True. Maybe there should be another sort of customizable add-on or form that is the same price to make it feel less taxing?

You can get the Circle Pad Pro for the non-New models. I imported one for my XL to play Monster Hunter and it's super comfortable. I definitely recommend it if your hand/fingers cramps on it normally.

I think Nintendo needs to do better than they have with handhelds recently, in terms of ergonomics and comfort.

I recently bought one of those SD Card readers so I can back-up my SD card. I plan to get that Monster Hunter 4G New 3DS Bundle, but since the data will be deleted from my old 3DS, I want to keep my data (mainly MH4) safe in case something happens. Since I obviously want to bring in my MH4 data to MH4G.

.......Hm?! Super Smash Bros is already coming out next week for the 3DS?! I haven't reserved it yet Uwaah~~...
Oh wait, there was a DL version. Hahaha, the world sure is convenient these days.

Super Smash Bros., Persona Q, and NES Edition 3DS XL styles coming to North America

the marketing department for nintendo needs to do their job. there is no point in getting these with the New 3DS on the way unless people are fanboys of the covers.

For people who haven't bought one yet, I would say that it may be a compelling decision if they don't want to have possibly more than an entire year to get the new 3ds (and if they can't read Japanese or play Japanese games or don't want to). I still don't see the point, but people who could afford might buy it...

Damn, after losing my regular 3ds, i bought a new XL. I don't think I can afford the Persona 3ds even though I want it bad, since I'm expecting to spend a pretty penny on the rumored 1tb PS4 AND I would be saving up still for the new 3ds + building a new rig once Windows 9 comes out. :'(

DS2: BR is apparently on 2015.

So is the N3DS like a 3DS with 2nd analog attachment?
