I figure most New3DS games are going to be just updated regular 3DS games. Some games will work for both, but the New3DS copy will just be mildly updated. smoother FPS, graphics, etc. I don't think there'll be many New3DS exclusive titles.

Blue blue.
I see the "new" 3DS being slightly cheap than the original 3DS.
It is, 16000 yens equals 160 dollars (and the 3DS goes for about 170 new nowadays, not counting deals), and in Japan games are more expensive than in the US, so it could be even cheaper here (150 maybe ???)
Another reason Nintendo might be making the new 3DS model is to avoid giving anymore of their sales to Tomita Technologies http://www.theverge.com/2014/1/6/5279658/nintendo-ordered-to-...
Tomita is grabbing nearly 2% of the 3DS' system profits, because of the patent lawsuit, involving how the 3D in the old 3DS works
Because this new 3DS uses a new patent for 3D, Nintendo will no longer have to worry about the lawsuit.
If I remember correctly, wasn't that patent on issue on 3D screens that utilize head tracking? If that's the case, the New 3DS could be even worse off.
I highly doubt it, considering they have already said a number of times that the N3DS will have superior 3D viewing, I don't think they are trying to mislead customers here.......not to mention that the tech in the original 3DS is probably 5 years old or so already.
I have an off-topic question. What does the "NINTENDO DSi" cartridges look like. Everyone said the DSi had some exclusive cartridges games so I want to see what the look liked.
Relax, they won't go around making every single big game exclusive for these models.
They are not meant to completely eradicate the older models, they will be just the "newer, better option". Making every new 3DS game a "new" exclusive would only damage Nintendo.
Ok good i dont 1st party support to stop on normal 3ds's anytime soon.

To be fair, handheld consoles are really cheap, 150-200 dollars every 4 years its not a lot (quite cheap actually), i kinda agree on making a stopgap once every generation on its 4th year before the real deal comes a few years later.
Yes, it sucks for people that didnt buy their system early on, but thats not Nintendo's problem, thats like buying a PS3 4 years after its release and complain that you only used it for 2 years before its successor came in
