So is this thing dead in the US?
>>284095664
Port strike is making it impossible to restock.
When's NA getting the normal size?
Nintendo said they weren't bringing the regular one over.
>tfw no faceplates
>>284095879
m-maybe this is why the US didn't get the normal n3ds?nintendo pls
>>284095978
When the moon falls to the earth.
@Up - Never. You like your system XL. You do.
>>284096150
No, thats because Reggie has fat hands.

NEVER EVER
>>284096243
good
i couldn't fucking decide
American hands big and strong, Lily white European hands soft and small like woman child
>>284096243
You don't think they'll announce it at E3?
>>284096243
And yet it didn't occur to just give the consoles a less fucking stupid name? The only reason shit is so confusing is because they made it that way.
>>284096243
I'm still holding out until later this year. Honestly, I'd just get an XLnormally, but those faceplates are 2cool.
Should have been called the Super 3DS.
Bam, hire me, Nintendo.
How do we force nintendo to give us the smaller model and faceplates?
>>284096715
>super nintendo is an entirely new console that plays different games
>super 3ds is just an upgraded version of the same console
TRIGGERED
>company names their products retarded shit
>complains that people don't buy their things
>continues to name their products retarded shit
>"we're not releasing one of our products in our most profitable region because it would confuse people"
>people still defend nintendo
>>284096457
If Amerifats can understand Apple's bullshit, why didn't they just call it the 3DS Plus? Or 3DSi, since that already worked.
>>284096867
holy shit. fuck nintendo.
you guys think they will release it at e3?
>>284096457
this. i work wal-mart returns and you can't go too simple for some of these people.
this week alone, i had some lady return 4 amiibo because they didn't work with her sons skylanders game and a guy return an xbox one controller because it didn't work with his 360.
>>284096867
I HATE NINTENDO OF AMERICA HOLY SHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIT
>>284096867
See. I'd buy this in a heartbeat, if they'd just release the normal sized one over here.
>>284096715
>"i'm not buying a Super 3DS for my kid, it wont even play the normal 3ds games. I got scammed once 30 years ago, this nigga aint falling it for again, nuh-uh"
Should've called it 3DSX
>>284098068
3DS+ is a better title.
>>284096867
Wait for Gateway to work with N3DS and import a regular one from Europe or Japan. NoA have made it clear they don't want your money and only care about casuals and soccer moms.
>>284098068
I think they went with New 3DS because that's the name of the product in Japan, and in Japan it sounds distinct. But obviously outside Japan it's a stupid fucking name that confuses people, which makes me wonder if Nintendo of Europe/America/Australia are just forced to do whatever Iwata tells them to do or are just legitimately retarded.
It's my most played system by far at the moment actually
>>284099025
It sounds bad in Japan too. Nowhere near as bad as it does for English speaking countries, but still was a bad name.
>>284096457
Yeah, its totally the consoles fault and not because amerifats are utterly inbred and retarded.
If you can tell that the xbox ONE is the new version of the xbox360, then you should be able to know that the Wii U is the new version, and same goes for the N3ds.
>>284099491
You kidding? It sounds kawaii as fuck in Japan, they have to say it as NYU 3DS.
Consider this:
Eventually, the New 3DS will phase out the older models with more exclusives being released.
Eventually, the "New" will be dropped, and it will just be called the Nintendo 3DS. Nintendo didn't want to make a different console, just upgrade it. That's why they didn't give it a different name (Just tacked on "new").
>>284100935
Should have been 3DS U. And they should have made cross functionality a big point.
Cool thanks Reggie.My wallet's $169.99 fatter.
335.000 units for a launch week seem kinda low. Is the strike affecting it that much or is there simply no interest in them? All retailers around me still have plenty in stock.
>>284102230
>All retailers around me still have plenty in stock.
Every store is sold out for over 30 miles for me.
>mfw thats only 2 major cities and a decent sized town
Groupon is selling a bunch of 3DSXLs, anons
>I want a New 3ds plz
>What version?
>A new one
>You want a used New 3ds or a NEW New 3ds?
>NEW.
Fuck you NoA.
I think I can hold off a bit.
When I do, I'm going to get a black one and take it apart.
Since I couldn't get a fucking MM one (thanks a lot you fucking jew cunt scalpers), I'm going to give it a custom paint job.
I'm thinking gold on the outside plates, and purple on the inside.
I'm already studying the inner workings so that I can be prepared for when the time comes.
>>284096954
Eh, it's getting it's own exclusives so it kind of counts
>>284096457
>try to buy new 3ds online
>every search takes you to old 3ds
>have to sift through to find new new 3ds
holy shit this was a bad name
>>284104627
only one announced so far. the DSi didn't have a lot of exclusives, only a handful
XL has better 3d effect, normal new 3ds never coming
waiting for some more limited editions since we're not getting the faceplates
>want white 3ds because it looks cute as fuck
>the best faceplates only look good on the black model
>realize i dont have to decide because NoA is never going to release it here
Is the New 3ds region locked?
I wanna get Devil Survivor 2 overlocked , but just as you guessed, im European and we all know Atlus fucking hates Europeans
>>284107987
ops, i mean record breaker
>>284107987
they are all locked
get pokemon and wait for the flash cards to get their shit together.
>>284107987
All of nintendo's products are region locked.
>>284108428
Nintendo DS isnt
>>284108616
well they are now: Nintendo WiiU, 3DS , and all of their products in this generation and onward were now equipped with Region lock.
>>284108616
Buy one and enjoy your 3ds games region free on it then
500 hours in MSPaint, but this is my idea.
I don't care if it drives me mad, I'll be happy knowing that I didn't give shit to scalpers
>>284108842
Fuck, i really wanted Devil Survivor 2 Record Breaker
Well i guess it comes out 2 years later in Europe just like Devil Survivor Overlocked
>>284106738
>white looks better
>faceplates all for black
I had exact same dilemma. I went with white. I figured it will only take a single good faceplate for me to like white more.
>>284109063
I'm utterly confused. Are you planning on painting on the zelda shit?
If gateway would just hurry the fuck up and relase n3ds support I could import a eu model.
Your favorite nintendo products may never be in stock, you may never get the full roster of nintendo products in america
But atleast reggie's body is ready amirite? lel
>>284110194
but they will be and the scalpers will go away once the port strike is sorted
