I'm really worried about the lifespan of the 3DS.........like is the 3DS ending so soon? I mean that didn't happen for the DS and GB as well as GCN and wii but why now for the 3DS?
You think its possible to assume that the new 3DS games are most likely gonna go with digital since they have to figure out to somehow make new 3ds exclusive boxarts and all......
Actually, I think the New 3DS is intended to extend its own lifespan, just like the DSi. There may be a couple exclusive games to make you pick up the system, and, most likely, some eShop games only playable on the New 3DS.
What'll probably happen is that most games will be compatible with all 3DSes, but there will be an enhanced version for the New 3DS.
Making new box art won't be that hard. Just slap ONLY PLAYABLE ON THE NEW 3DS, and they're good.

@brewsky well that's the real problem gamers are gonna have. To me, even if the new 3ds doesn't have much of exclusives, I'll be fine with it seeing that its got faceplates and all. But if those exclusives are made that force you to save extra cash just to get either so little or a lot after having a short lifespan for the 3DS family, its really gonna get frustrating. Atleast Dsi made a lot of sense because it had digital games that really weren't all that great for the most part except Risky's revenge.
I got a problem here and I want your opinions in this. Should I get the new 3DS at its launch year or wait after a year longer to see how it goes. The reason is well I usually play the waiting game because of how easily manufacturing defects happen so easily early at launch so if I'm one of those unlucky numbers, well I've been wasted. Then to see that this is rather the extension of the 3DS and that I'm really eager to get it myself is another problem as I've still yet to get the Wii U (YES ITS STILL YET TO BE STANDING IN MY ROOM!!!!!!!! XD).
I am getting it as soon as it comes out provided I have the money for it. I'm hoping to save whatever money I get for Christmas for this system and whatever faceplates I want. But stuff always seems to come up, what with three kids and all other responsibilities I have so we will see what happens. Otherwise I might have wait until my birthday next year. I hope they announce this in a January Direct or something cuz the wait is killing me. 😄
Want: Harvest Moon: One World, Story of Seasons: Pioneering Town, Super Mario 3D World + Bowser’s Fury
Finished the Alola Dex.
Now playing New Horizons, Wrath of White Witch and Sword
Quick question: Does anyone know how many slots it will have for WiFi connections? One big reason my 3DS XL isn't my "main" portable device is because it's limited to three connections (the DSi technically had six connections, albeit three of those were limited to WEP security). It's kind of a hassle to switch WiFi settings when I'm visiting a friend or going to a public WiFi spot.

So people have to buy a 3DS only to have it be replaced? Wonderful logic. -_-

I'm glad that I decided to get a good used 3DS XL instead of waiting for the new hardware, it should keep me busy till the New 3DS releases~

Then why is Australia getting it too, this year. That doesn't apply to them at all. What are they getting this year, game wise, that we aren't? Australia, I mean.
The new 3ds comes out in Australia Nov 21st. I have a blue Xl on order. Cannot wait to get my hands on it.I owned the original gamboy when they first came out, years later got a gba and now years later again will get the n3ds
lets admit it... the 3DS was weak from the start and Nintendo should have released this as the original model just with a slight higher price. Then it would have great games from the start and sold even more and no one would be amgry about this new 3DS! You have to learn from Sony Nintendo. Power=games=units sold, not low hardware=low price=many units sold

You seem to ignore the Vita in your argument
