Nintendo announced through a Direct video in Japan they will release a new 3DS console designed for hardcore gamers. The name of this console is New Nintendo 3DS. Yup that’s the official name… Nintendo loves to keep their console names. The New Nintendo 3DS will launch October 11, 2014 only in Japan.
This time, there is a second joystick, that is specifically for camera controls in games. Using the cumbersome second analog stick addition is now history for those who buy the latest Nintendo handheld. It appears that Nintendo wants to introduce this 3DS upgrade edition before Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate hits store shelves.
The New Nintendo 3DS will have better graphics, faster internet speeds and two more trigger buttons. Plus it will support Micro SD cards, have a longer battery life and accept Amiibo figures. And New Nintendo 3DS’s exclusive games that will be unplayable on the normal 3DS are coming too. One of these games has already been announced: Xenoblade Chronicles, originally on the Wii, is one of the first new NEW Nintendo 3DS games.
There will be two sizes, one regular and one in the XL or LL size and only 2 colors will be available at launch. The regular New Nintendo 3DS is white with SNES button colors and the XL/LL edition is a slate blue. The prices in US dollars are around $180 and $160.
