Not a whole lot has changed
When the New 3DS was announced, we held a poll asking you if you wanted to pick it up. 36% of you said “yes,” 29% said “no,” and 34% said “it depends on the exclusives.” Now that Nintendo has debuted a bunch of news with its recent Nintendo Direct, did you switch your view?
So what’s changed? Slight improvements for upcoming games like Majora’s Mask and Monster Hunter 4 — which basically involve faster boot times and a c-stick to control the camera. Also, Xenoblade Chronicles on 3DS actually has a release window, and the on-board amiibo functionality has been highlighted with games like Code Name S.T.E.A.M. Keep in mind though that an amiibo adapter is still planned for “non-New” 3DS units at some point (the current rumor is between amiibo waves 3 and 4).
On the negative side, the prospect has gotten worse for some, as it has been announced that there will be no AC adapter included, and the XL is the only model that’s going to be released in the US.
With all this in mind, do you still want it, still hate it, or have you come around to it by now?
