>>260697512
People are pissed off because the upgrades are so minor it just shouldn't have been made. I would gladly buy a new system with actual spec improvements not just slight improvements. The screen improvement seems like the best thing but its not really such a huge leap.
Also the exclusive games won't be anything special, just some freeware games or some games will feature the nipple control and allow cam movement.
People need to stop freaking out about that.
>>260698521
>Also the exclusive games won't be anything special
It's fucking Xenoblade
The reason I am skeptical of the new 3DS is because I bought a DSi.
>FUCK YOU, Nintend! how dare you release a slightly more powerful system that has exclusive games!
>You should just keep making game boy games forever!
Honestly though, I don't understand why Nintendo thought this was a good idea, it just divides the market place. I mean who the fuck (besides Nintendo) would develop for an upgraded system with no users compared to one that has an install base of 43million units
>>260698521

>>260698658
>port
>>260698521
No they aren't. If this was just another revision everyone would be laughing at Nintendo about how they're releasing another revision.
The hate is that it's going to get exclusive titles. Which we completely have no idea how many the system will have except for one ugly port of Xenoblade.
Once they announce a new Metroid or StarFox exclusively for this thing, everyone will be completely validated to bitch. But until then, every NEET on this board is upset that they can't scrounge the money up in a year to get it for one so-far comfirmed exclusive.
You realize they did this with the Game Boy right? Is everyone here fucking serious?
>>260698658
Is it actually an exclusive? Or are people speculating badly? I assume they just showed it off as a way to sell more of these things since it probably plays well with the camera nipple
>>260698658
Big fucking whoop, emulate it.
>>260699083
It is.
If they release a new 3ds in GBC purple, I'm going to buy 2.
And rub my dick on it.
>>260697512
the worst offense by nintendo is not giving us a see through purple consoles. WTF? Someone needs to be dragged out in the streets and shot for this.
>>260699065
the weeb who drew the picture knows fuck all about perspective
I got 3ds day one then the xl a few months ago because broken shoulder buttons. Now this bs. If I didn't get the xl id be ok with it...maybe. Instead of a slight upgrade they should work on a brand new one fuck that 10-20% CPU shit. What's next wiiu2? Turning into Apple.
>>260699065
It took 9-10 years for them to do it with the GBC, though the complaint is still valid.
Think about this from the standpoint of a developer
>we could release this game with slightly easier to use controls
>or we could develop for the system everyone already has
A handful of games will use the nipple and and new shoulder
They will also probably be able to be controlled using the touchscreen in the same way
stop blowing your angerload over nothin m8s
>>260697512
So how many 3ds consoles do you own /v/?
I own 3, Eevee, Triforce, and Dreamteam
>>260699461
Could trade your 3DS XL in.
I'll buy one if there's a game that I want for it. I've had the same 3DS since release day 2011, and could deal with an upgrade to the XL.

feels good
>>260700116
That's the nature of /v/ consolewar threads.
We have people bashing it in one thread, people defending it in another, and a small group of people who want to just talk about the system but their thread grts derailed by haters.
>>260700268
Even if they don't have jobs, it's only $180. If they do all their chores and save up allowance they should have enough money to buy a New 3DS before it's even released in the west.
>>260699787
>the nipple
Call it that from now on.
>>260699823
I only own 1
>>260698878
That's why the DSi had, like, one game that used the camera
>>260700475
Plus they could even trade in/sell their old model and greatly reduce the cost of the new system.
>>260699787
but if the majority of the people who actually buy 3ds games own a new 3ds, then you should just make a game exclusive to it
I hope everyone here realizes Nintendo has ALWAYS made secondary versions / improvements of their mobile hardware
>>260699519
You're comparing today to the 90's. It doesn't work that way. The technology to make the GBC much like the new 3DS, could be done in the time it's predecessor came out, but they couldn't be made without losing money. The only reason they're releasing the new 3DS is because they found a cost effective way to produce it much like GBC. It's like you're trying to say technology grew just as fast today as in the 90's.
>>260700758
True, but that could be a few years from now, anyway, upgrading what you own by then will make more sense.
Are you people seriously retarded?
GB to GBC wasn't a minor upgrade like you're God damn implying.
>>260700952
Oh okay.
The only thing I can think of that explains Nintendo's decision to release a New 3DS is they're trying to encourage more 3rd party company's to develop for them.
Currently the only decent games that people want to buy are mostly 1st party games, this is great for the customers but bad for Nintendo considering they make most of their money from licensing. So to get the players to buy the new systems they have to release exclusive first party titles.
>>260700404
What about people who want to talk about the system but get derailed by blind followers? Two sides to every coin.
>>260699823
I just bought a refurbished one from the nintendo website cause all the ones around me are more expensive
I'm a little ticked off that they're gonna release a new system, but it probably wont come stateside for a while
>>260698878
I loved the shit out of the DSi. The sleek design was perfect. Also it had internet.
rather have this than a new system so soon, and it'd be nice if I got a pikmin game
>>260697512
>gameboy out for nearly nine years
>3ds is barely 4 years old
u dun acting autistic yet
>>260701096
Originally the Gameboy color WAS supposed to be a minor upgrade, the GBA was originally was supposed to be released in 1999 but due to the GBC being a market success it was pushed back.
>>260701182
Well yeah, that too.
>>260701096
It wasn't a huge upgrade though. They added the color screen, obviously. And a fasted processor i believe.
I had a GBC. Loved it, but there weren't a ton of games made exclusively for the GBC. The new 3DS is a little silly to me, but i'll probably pick one up probably 2 years after it debuts, and gets some games.
The name itself is the fucking dumbest part. Nintendo needs to fire their entire marketing department. The only thing they've done well is the E3 Treehouse event.
>>260697512
What was the best GBC game and why was it Pokemon G/S/C?
My 3DS is refurbished and bought it year and a half ago.
The only people mad about New 3DS are faggots who just got a new 3DS
Nintendrones are the worst people on the planet. Who in their right mind could defend such a blatant anti consumer move?
>Droning this hard
/v/ really is the shittiest yotsuba B board on 4chan
Wouldn't going from the GBC to GBA be a better comparison?
That was like a 3 year difference.
>>260701816
>but there weren't a ton of games made exclusively for the gbc
Yeah, you know, only 500 games.
Compared to the original gameboy's 700.

If Sony did this nintendrones would be chimping out over it. But when Nintendo does it they'll defend it.

And what exactly is bad with releasing a new, more powerful model after 4 years of the 3DS release?
Why are you people so fucking mad? They're still making 3DS games.
>nintendo just released 2DS a year ago
>here's another 3DS that's objectively better in every way and also has better capability than all others and ALREADY has a fucking exclusive
This is an anti-consumerist bullshit stunt I would expect from fuckin Microsoft, for Christs sake, really Nintendo?
Anybody else have that one Nintendrone friend who's 100% ok with this?
>>260702572
The Japanese market probably understands the marketing perfectly, it's just when they try to bring the same principles to another culture.
I'm sure NoA was probably against this bullshit, but knowing old Japanese business men they probably were trying their damned hardest to push this stupid bullshit.

>>260700895
No they have not. Nintendo has always made revisions with improvements that were optional. You were never locked out of new games because you bought an old version.
The one exception was the DSi, which introduced DSiware. It was slightly more powerful than the DS and had content exclusive to it through the DSi store.
The New 3DS is another DSi, except Nintendo will be making new retail exclusive games for it and pushing it as hard as they can.
Want to know why this won't be some shit revision you can ignore? Because they have to pay royalties for the old 3DS now.
http://www.law360.com/articles/495175/rakoff-sets-royalty-rate-for-nintendo-3ds-technology
This also falls align with their new strategy of finding alternative source of revenues outside of games. The New 3DS with its faceplate accessories and the NFC reader actually being incorporated into the system so they can really push Amiibos on it and the Wii U.
The NEW 3DS was built more out of desperation than actual design.
>>260702908
Sony fans would defend it just as hard, get over yourself.

Are you retarded or something?

Look at this thread, look at OPI know someone who bought the 3DS at launch, then the zelda 3DS, then the 3DS XL and finally the D2S and is thinking about getting that mario 3DS. I'm pretty sure he'll get that new 3DS too
>>260702738
I only own one
the original 3ds was too small, so I waited for the superior 3dsxl
then the 2ds came out and I laughed at how shit it is
now is a good time for an upgrade, just in time for the new systems to come out
>>260703616
That's pretty much what /v/ is now, so no, his assessment is pretty spot on.
>>260702908

>>260703043
the 2DS was for poorfags, children, and cyclops's
it wasn't a proper upgrade, more of a side-step
>>260697813
if anything this will serve to extend the 3ds lifespan since without this we'd get a fully new handheld probably in 2016, but with this there will still be games for 3ds well for a few years longer. i doubt there will be very many n3ds exclusives, just a few here and there.
>>260703829
At the cost of alienating the already alienated Vita base?
>>260703484
The Vita TV is pretty consistently shit on though.
>>260703913
I just realised, Nintendrones are actually like Applefags
>>260701816
I agree full heartedly, both this and the wii u have a terrible name
the wii u should have been the ultra nintendo entertainment system, and this should have been the 3DS control or something
Go ahead and be totally okay with this, nintendo fanboys, and keep using "LOL U POOR?" ad hominems, but you completely lost the right to criticize shit like iphone upgrades if you eat this garbage.

>>260704257
As a Nintendo-mostly owner myself, I agree that a huge part of the fanbase act just like Applefags in the sense that they LOVE to waste money on every new console Nintendo shits and just throw their 2-year-old console to the trashcan. The dude in the video portrays the situation pretty well.
It's pretty sad how far it has gone.
I can see why people would be angry.
I was gonna get a XL last Christmas, Zelda one, but I ran out of money. If I had bought it, would I be angry now. FUCK YES. But since I still have my 3DS from release, I'm actually relieved, as long as they do not release a new one next year.
>>260700738
That would be a great idea...if your account wasn't tied to the system, but it is, meaning you can't simply sign in your account again to get all your stuff back, and if you sell your console to get a new one, you'll lose all your digital games.
Thanks, Ibama.
>>260704146

You replied to me....!
>>260704732
>their 2-year-old console
Wasn't the 2DS out only last year ?
>>260704831
Does system transfer not work between 3DSs?
>>260704528
current 3dsxl is 200 dollars. I don't see the new 3dsxl being 200 dollars unless some massive price drops happen.
And since when in a handheld system have upgrades like this ever been acceptable after 4 years?
Oh wait, you're just going to respond with "LOL POORFAG"
>>260704732
I wouldn't be upgrading if it wasn't for monhun and the fact that the right shoulder button on my 3ds is mushy
>>260697813
How much time passed from DSlite to DSi?
>>260704953
It does, but you'd need two 3DS' to do that.
>>260704831
sell your system after you do the transfer
what, are you so poor you can't afford the new 3ds without trading in you old one for it?
>>260704831
Don't some retailers offer the same credit if you do a system transfer and return with your receipt?
>>260704805
I saw that store.nintendo had refurbished Zelda XLs over the weekend and bought one along with a CPP. I'm angry. Very angry.

>>260703985
No shit, stupid. that's not the issue.
The issue is that this is so absolutely abrupt and out of nowhere, and it is quickly coming. There are probably millions of people who bought new XL's, 2DS's or regular 3DS's for Smash and all of that, and now they're pulling this shit for no reason. There was even a kid who posted a pictureof his receipt for a new XL he bought yesterday for Smash. The 3DS is selling great and they know it, but they decide to fuck everyone over and put out something objectively better and easier to develop for.
I guarantee you it's gonna get an important game that everyone is gonna get pissed off over, like a new Metroid or Pokemon gen.
And if you're the kind of mongoloid to spout LOL POORFAG BUTTMAD you're the exact kind of idiot this product is for: spoiled manchildren with no perspective on expenses.

The GBA was also cut short in a shitty way.
It's terrible for current 3DS owners no matter what way you slice it, and bad for others when nintendo feels like releasing more 3ds systems in four years than EA does Madden games.
Man, I keep hearing justifications like
"well my 3ds is worn out anyways"
"good, my shoulder button isn't working"
"I bought the 3ds at launch and wanted to upgrade anyways"
What the fuck? What happened to nintendium hardware that could last through an atomic blast, you people are just tossing out your barely few years old hardware like it's already out of date.
The Vita is dead and now there's a hole in the market that Nintendo wants to use, but nobody wants to develop for the 3DS because of the hardware and controls, you can't fucking port a franchise from another system when the control scheme is completely different and the hardware is underpowered, and you want people to buy the new system so you release exclusives.
>>260705325
the system isn't coming out this year, so if you want to play smash this year, you need an old 3ds anyway
>>260704528
That's not the fucking point, when you are paying for this shit you are supporting this kind of practice
Of course you don't even understand you stupid spoiled shit
>>260705325
there's no way they could have announced it without maKing people that JUST bought one mad
I'm just pissed about having to do ANOTHER system transfer.
>Owned a 3ds when it first came out (terrible mistake, the original sucked ass)
>Got an XL about 2 years ago, loved it, but I had to buy the XL, bring it home, system transfer my shit, bring the XL and the old one back to gamestop, return it, sell the old 3DS, then rebuy the XL with the credit.
The assholes at gamestop gave me so much shit for trying to return it to. I explained to them step by step what I was going to do, asked them if it was cool. The guys working said it'd be fine, but when I got there they couldn't figure out shit. I never worked at gamestop, but refund/rerings are pretty common in retail.
>>260705371
then borrow some money, buy the new system, transfer games, sell old system, and give the money your borrowed back

>>260705370
Duh, nintendo releases model revisions, that's nothing new, but fragmenting the userbase with exclusivity like this is retarded.
Should have waited at least another 3 years and just made a next gen handheld

no it wasn't

I would know, I played them on my ds

Not the same situation as going from the 3DS to the NewDS, those were slight upgrades/new models, not an entire new generation from the previous ones.
>>260705148
Does that specifically matter? The DSi didn't have exclusive games, just exclusive apps that no one used anyways.
>>260698082
Are you so fucking retarded to buy the same console twice? Fucking hell, how can be anyone so autistic to defend this bullshit? Is the jewest shit I've seen in my whole life.

okay, this is an interesting rebuttal

>>260705829
I'm just concerned over how much faster the revisions are coming now.
DS had four in over 5 years.
3DS is at five in less than 4.
>>260705674
If you don't want to constantly transfer your data, stop being a retarded fickle consumer that buys every iteration of the same hardware.
How simple is that, you don't have to buy everything nintendo puts out and throw out the old
>>260705674
should have sold it on ebay, retard
you get more money that way

>>260706101
>>260705726
The point is it shouldn't have to be this complicated. Why can't I just log into my account and get all my games back easily like I did when my Vita broke and I had to get a new one?
And it's not just Sony. I'm not familiar with XBL, but I'm assuming it's the same way (correct me if I'm wrong, I'm not claiming this as truth). If your PC died, after getting a new one you could just sign into Steam and get all your old games back easily. Why is it just Nintendo that makes it so difficult?
>>260706075
Because they didn't have an internet connection.
You need to connect to the internet first before doing a transfer I guess.
>>260705985

>>260705947
>Are you so fucking retarded to buy the same console twice?
it's not the same console, it has exclusive games
>>260705616
Stop droning.
There are people who are planning to/have already put their money towards the Smash 3DS bundle. Once it comes out, they have less than a year until it goes obsolete. The fucking thing has a godawful name and it already has a fucking exclusive. This is literally something Apple would do.
>>260705924
>The DSi didn't have exclusive games
Yes it had.
About 4 but it had.
Go read your 3ds manual if you don't believe me
>this hardware plays DS software and DSi software
>>260705823
>>infrared port, but who cared about that
Why did they never use that? Was it just not reliable enough, or did they just say "hey, let's waste consumer dollars for hardware features maybe one game will every use"
>>260705148
DS was 04
DS lite was 06
DSi was 08.
So you had 4 years between the DS and DSi.
There were a couple differences. The DSi didn't really have too much of a hardware bump when it came to the games, it just had updated software to do some more digital stuff, so the DSi games were largely digital-only and small in scope. There were like 3 DSi only carts and 2 of them never left Japan.
This is different because they bumped the main hardware some but not a lot, but they intend to put a number of carts out on it.
It's the same as the DSi at best (Which, while not great, is decidedly neutral).
At worst, we're looking at sega-tier bullshit where 3DS is abandonware.
>>260705924
It had Shantae.
One advantage Consoles have over PC's is you don't need to upgrade them
Nintendo took this advantage away

I'm not totally sold on the new 3DS either, but if it ends up having a solid amount of games exclusive to it, I'm gonna buy it. The only reason I bought the XL is because the old 3DS was so small and it made my hands cramp up like a motherfuck.
>>260698785
All they mentioned about improvements is a slightly better CPU.
>>260706238
>Why can't I just log into my account and get all my games back easily l
because people would abuse by giving their friends their information so they could download the games they bought
>>260706471
They'll first release before the four year mark, this year, in japan.
Even at four full years 5 versions of one system in four years is atrocious.
>>260706238
Because then the games would still be on the old handheld, and nintendo doesn't want people buying used 3dses with free digital games, which apparently would be a problem with how fickle you people are and how often I guess you toss out your old hardware just for a bigger screen or some shit
There sure is a lot of autism going on in this thread.

>>260706760
This isn't really a problem for any other manufacturer.
>>260706673
To be fair though the XL was a nice upgrade.
The 2DS made sense because parents were worried about little Timmy fucking his eyes up with the 3D effect. (I know you could disable it, but the average consumer doesn't read the owners manual, or check around the settings.)
Let me get this straight. I just bought a 3ds XL last week with a couple of games. A new fucking system is coming up soon ,meaning I wasted 250 dollars
>>260706673
>Even at four full years 5 versions of one system in four years is atrocious.
not really, these are the first upgrade
the xl just made the 3ds bigger
the 2ds just removed the 3d
this is the first time they actually improved the core 3ds model
>>260706370
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nintendo_DSi#Software_library
Ok, but which one of these justifies buying one if you already have the DS? I mean, all the power to them for introducing new models, but the DSi isn't in the same league as this.
>>260706032
you mean before right?
>"new" 3ds
This shouldn't be allowed, they done it in the past but that doesnt mean it isn't wrong when exclusive bullshit happens. Specially when the 2ds excuse was "cheaper and that allows to play 3ds games". Now those kids and people who bought the cheaper version can get kicked in the ass if some of their favorite series are exclusive to the "new" console.
Worst is how in 3 years is possible that Nintendo has an actually new portable console.
Because of shit like that I am extra cautious and only buy consoles like 5 or 6 years after launch because of the revisions bullshit. Really, this bullshit revisions is the same thing they do with Pokemon A&B versions, worse is how consumers eat this because they can't control themselves.

Mate, unless they decide to bring back the name next generation because they go full "core gamer" with no quality of life bullshit and don't want to associated to the wii, The Nintendo naming pattern of _NES is dead. UNES will never happen.
>>260707062
Yes. It was announced yesterday.
Are you in your return window?
>>260707053
To be fair, that's more or less irrelevant.
They've still pumped out hardware at a rate that exceeds 1 per year, and that's ridiculous.
>>260707165
>No, the other hardware versions don't count!
Oh stop it.
You're just trying to justify annualization of hardware releases

Theyve been jewing people since the Advance SP launch. While this isnt new, they have been drastically speeding up their time table.
>>260707551
Speeding up the timetable is the real problem here.
They are really destroying any and all incentive to buy a handheld from them for the first 4-5 years of its life.
>>260706637
>because people would abuse by giving their friends their information so they could download the games they bought
Not really, no other company tends to have this be a big problem. Just do it like Sony does, allow the game to be downloaded to two different platforms only. Problem solved.
>>260706760
Like I said, this isn't a problem for ANYONE else. Why only Nintendo?
Even so, you can just deactivate the other system like how it works on PSN.

If he bought it last week he probably opened and used it.

>>260707551
There has never been only a slight improvement of a system that had exclusive games that "required" the slight improvements outside of Nintendo at the very least. It's not just jewing it's advanced jewing.
>>260707904
>psp street
wtf is that?
Also, good job neglecting that there was a 3 year gap between the first psp and the second, and straight ignoring the DS release dates since that was four versions across six years.
Releasing at a rate greater than 1 per year is not the norm.
>>260708050
Many would argue the XL was an upgrade, and you are also trying to steer the metric away from hardware versions to upgrades.
There are five versions of the 3DS hardware.
>>260707551
You are crazy or a poor fag if you don't think the SP was a necessary upgrade to the GBA
the gba had no fucking backlight, it was retarded

>>260707693
This.
If there's even a next gen of handhelds from Nintendo, I know it'll be smarter to not even consider purchasing the handheld until many years later. That's not going to look good on their sales if a lot more people choose the same thing. Imagine too, people were enormously enraged that Sony released a slim version of everything but releasing three significantly different versions of the 3DS is okay, each one supposedly treating some issue of the previous model.
>>260708583
fuck the sp, it was a downgrade compared to the original
>>260703319
>I'm a literal retard and dont know what inflation is apart from my disgusting fetish
>>260708740
So?
You are neglecting a lot of information there.
>>260708619
2.5 to be totally accurate.
>>260707551
Most of the time they've added a few hardware features, like the SP's backlight and better mobility, or the DSi's gay little camera. The NewDS is flat out better in every way, and they're still pushing 3DS's while giving the NewDS promise of exclusives. I'm sure millions of kids are gonna get 3DS's for Christmas in 4 months and find out it's already obsolete.
Its bullshit that they gave us such short notice, because that means they already considered and now how well Smash is gonna move units but chose not to tell us. A 2016 release for the New would be acceptable but this is obnoxious.
>>260697512
The difference is 3 years and 9 years.
Now stfu
>>260704954
N3DS is priced the same as old 3DS and replaces them. They're actually 100 yen cheaper than the older versions. But hey, you're retarded and wont bother looking at facts.
>>260708875
Five. If a consumer were to look at the 3DS there will now be FIVE distinct variations on the system to choose from.
Really, I won't touch another nintendo handheld until its cycle is almost over. You can't trust them.
Shit, they even announced the XL like two weeks after saying no such thing would happen.
>>260708583
I didnt say the SP was a necessary upgrade.
That was the year they started doing almost 1 system a year.
>>260708906
no I'm not
some people prefer the original, some people prefer the xl, and some deviants even liked that 2ds shit
>>260703472
>one exception was the DSi
and with that your argument is invalid
>>260709336
Right, and your point is what? That every one of them is a wholly distinct version of the system? Cause that's what I've been saying.
>you can buy anime
Would this whole thing be made better if NoA themselves offered a credit for trading in a 3DS/3DS XL for a New DS?
>>260709156
No, there will be 3, you shitsniffing smegmaking. The new 3DS completely replaces the old ones. It has the same price.
>>260709156
>If a consumer were to look at the 3DS there will now be FIVE distinct variations on the system to choose from.
no they won't because the new ones aren't out yet, and nintendo will faze out the old ones first
>>260709663
Probably if it were generous, but they never would since they have effectively no use for the older systems.
>>260697813
>GameBoy Color 1998
>GameBoy Advance 2001
>>260709538
they are options, not upgrades
their is only one 3ds upgrade
If any other company did some jew shit like this, no one would defend it.
>>260709721
No, five.
3DS, 3DS XL, 2DS, n3ds, n3ds xl.
>>260709734
These old ones will not disappear from the market when the new ones launch. Not for a good while.
>>260709806
Nobody really does, just a bunch of nostalgiafags wanting to add to their collection.
>>260709663
It would have to be a majority of the price off and full transfer of the memory from the old system. Otherwise no it wouldn't be, it's pretty damn scummy to try and push "new" hardware out when it's more like just a slight upgrade and say that games require the new stuff.
>>260709915
Right, wholly distinct options.
Meaning you will have five options if you want to buy a 3DS
>>260697512
funny thing that nintendo had already technically finished the Game Boy Advance when they released the Game Boy Color, but they wanted the extra money ... so basically just today
>>260710075
So, take $100 bucks off the price and they do a full transfer?
>Nuh uh, there are only 3 versions of the 3ds!
wtf is this shit?
That's some powerful ignorance.
>>260697512
The Game Boy Color was released 9 years after the original Game Boy.
>>260710128
please tell me you arnt so fucking dumb that you actually believe this.
>>260710128
Everything about the GBA launch and nintendo was weird. They REALLY just wanted to drag the gameboy color out to an extreme, but the wonderswan and NGPC kinda showed the market how bassackwards nintendo was keeping things.
>>260710201
That's assuming the price is going to be around $200, that would be decently adequate but would still feel pretty burned.
>>260703263
Fuck you, buying a system 2 years into it's lifetime is not compulsive.
>>260709721
>implying Nintendo will recall the existing models.
2015 launch mean that they'll be pushing the old gimped 3DS on as many unsuspecting customers as possible.
>>260710326
>wtf
Keep strawmanning normie
>>260709974
the old 3ds is almost completely gone already
>>260710495
It shouldn't be, but that's how nintendo has made it.
You have to wait four years at least.
They really fuck their early adopters.
>>260708902
you're absolutely fucking retarded if you think $70 in 199 is the same as $200 now.
>>260710671
>They really fuck their early adopters.
oh yes, they are so fucked, what with all those games they played during those 4 years
it's more like the DSi, a slight upgrade and some games that'll be exclusive because of it, but not a new system because there is no new gimmick.
as someone with only the original 3DS I'll probably buy an XL version of the new one when it comes to the US, I've been thinking of upgrading anyway.
>>260709974
No. 3.
N3DS N3DSXL and 2DS.
Are you completely and utterly retarded? No one is going to stock an outdated model that has the same price as the new model, you colossal mongoloid.
>>260710919
If there's existing stock of the old SKU they'll have a fire sale on them to get rid of them.
>>260710405
And the GBA 3 years after that, and the DS 3 years after that.

They got the worst version of the system, paid more, possibly dealt with the screen scratch issue or yellowed screens, and had to wait through all the long empty release periods, just to have the system be invalidated in less than 4 years.
Yeah, kinda sucks.
>>260710790
Yes. It is. Roughly calculated, 70 bucks in 1989 with current inflation would be around 150 burgerbuck around now. Which is the going rate for a standard 3DS.
Another fun fact to educate your inbred ass; every nintendo console has cost the same mount of money, considering inflation. AKA you paid the same amount of money for a NES as you do for a WII U, respectively.
>>260711267
When the pocket came out, they stopped selling the brick. Nintendo just let them finish selling the stock they had left and thats it. Same thing with the advance SP.
>>260711469
>They got the worst version of the system, paid more, possibly dealt with the screen scratch issue or yellowed screens, and had to wait through all the long empty release periods, just to have the system be invalidated in less than 4 years.

What the hell, I thought it was way longer than that.
I bought a 3DS to play 3ds games, not just most 3ds games.
Not surprised that nintendo did something shitty like this, but still, I hate that supporting nintendo never seems to work out like it should.
>>260711067
Thats already happening now you shittershattered faget. Retailers are having massive sales on the 3DS right now.
They're getting rid of their stock in anticipation for the new model.
>>260711620
The brick was still available for the while, and had been out for a long enough time before the pocket hit that sales had slowed harshly. It's not quite comparable.
>>260711663
