<p>Nintendo&#8217;s ringing in the new year with a New 3DS – <a href="https://bagogames.com/new-3ds-console-hardcore-gamers/">a New 3DS XL</a> to be precise. The bigger, more powerful handheld system will be releasing later this winter according to the latest <a href="https://bagogames.com/first-nintendo-direct-new-year-due-wednesday/">Nintendo Direct</a>.</p>
<p>It looks like we&#8217;re only getting the New Nintendo 3DS XL too. A smaller version of the system has yet to be announced.</p>
<p>In a video presentation all about the New 3DS, Nintendo America president Reggie Fils-Aime walked us through all of its latest features, including its new shoulder buttons and a revamped, &#8216;face-tracking&#8217; 3D function that keeps your game in 3D perspective no matter where you turn your head.</p>

<p>The New Nintendo 3DS launches in North America<strong> Feb. 13th</strong>, just a day shy of Valentine&#8217;s Day, and will set you back $200. It&#8217;ll come in both red and black when it launches. It also won&#8217;t include an AC adapter, so keep your old 3DS ones handy.</p>
<p>The system doesn&#8217;t have much in the way of exclusives quite yet, but <em>Xenoblade Chronicles&#8217;</em> 3DS rerelease will be coming to the New 3DS – and only the New 3DS – this coming April and will be available in North America to boot.</p>
