Referred to simply as the "New 3DS" and "New 3DS XL", the refreshed handheld models purport to feature an improved screen enabling the 3D effects to be viewed from more angles than before.

Despite the new additions, the handhelds will be the same size as the ones currently available. A new C-button grants the ability to control games with dual analogue controls, while a micro USB card slot and NFC-technology are also part of the package. Interestingly, this means the planned NFC reading device the company's talked about in relation to its new Amiibo range is likely only relevant for older models.

Nintendo UK PR has confirmed we won't see it before 2015, but a Japanese release is expected first. As an additional quirk, a new range of face plates will be released for the handhelds, much like the ones you can get for mobile phones. Ones shown off include Mario and Animal Crossing.

quite interested in getting one of these once they release them
and the price point didn't seem too bad (16000 and 18000 yen in japan so around 160-180 here)

especially since Xenoblade Chronicles is getting a remake for it

kinda pissed they thought making games exclusive to their remodeled 3ds is a good idea, especially since around 50mil. users already bought your product (reg 3ds, 3ds xl and 2ds)

well it's stronger so games that take advantage of the fact it's stronger could never work on the older model (like Xenoblade Chronicles remake, which they say couldn't be done without a stronger model)
