@jjmesa16 If I want to turn it on, I have to make the top part half way less than halfway closed to turn it on. I tried to take it out to order a replacement, but I gave up because it was too complicated. I ended up disconnecting the camera. So I decided to back up all photos and music from the SD card to my computer and format the data if I am never going to use it again. I also deleted all the data of my games (although I only bought Super Mario 3D Land and Sonic Generations) but Super Mario 3D Land won't take long to complete. 1 week I guess. I am waiting to get New 3DS next year when it gets cheaper at Big W. I bought my DSi there 19 days after the release (when it was $299) and I got mine for $288. What a bargain (I used the remaining $11 to buy Subway).
We are lucky to get these new 3DS systems early because North America DID get Photos With Mario and us Australians don't. I want Photos With Mario. I want the Mario theme faceplate and Mario themed Home Menu.
And make Pokémon Z for Wii U. And a new Nintendogs + Cats for Wii U too, with realistic HD graphics and the feel of having a virtual pet on the big screen in your living room.
I would like this especially if Nintendo made a complete remake of Super Mario 3D World for New Nintendo 3DS with the same graphics as Super Mario 3D Land. They could get the bottom screen to display silhouettes of touchable objects in the levels like Nintendogs + Cats. And the controls are exactly like Wii U. It should be called 'Super Mario 3D World for New Nintendo 3DS'. If the 3D is super stable and can be viewed from any angle, it would be cool to use the gyroscope to control the in-game camera. The game could be an exact remake if they can put it in at least a 3GB game card, since New 3DS is faster and more powerful.
@GamerZack87 Cool. I want to play the demos at EB Games when they release. I would go to PAX, but I live in Brisbane, so I just ought to wait. Besides, I will be waiting to get mine next year when it gets cheaper or has a special bundle. It would be great if Pokémon Omega Ruby or Alpha Sapphire bundled with New 3DS with Ruby or Sapphire faceplates.
@jjmesa16 That sucks. Mine is broken too. It has been since 20th June 2013. I still have in in my drawer and nobody in my family knows what I did with it. I flipped it WAY too much and the ribbon cable snaps. New 3DS would be better than 3DS so my top screen won't get scratched from the bottom screen
@GamerZack87 If you live in Europe, you can demand your friend to buy a New 3DS or New 3DS system for you (just kidding, although now you'll have to buy Japanese games to play), so you can buy any European game you want and play it. And unluckily for you, faceplates are region locked. They have a different screw hole in the shape of circle D:
@cfgk24 Does the 3D only work better when looking on a side-to-side view, or also an up-and-down view? I guess I will have to wait when the demos come out to EB games (which I believe is the Australian version of Gamestop, but I never went to Gamestop in America), and they said that it should have demos at the time of release. They also allow pre-orders now too. But I want to wait until next year to get mine when they become cheaper at other retail store like Big W.
@Spaceboy40 Probably not. If so, Nintendo would announce it by now since the New 3DS and New 3DS XL are almost released in Japan. But maybe they might have an update to this for all 3DS systems, like how they removed the 5 data transfer maximum.
@jjmesa16 If you buy the New 3DS, you can customise it any way you want with all the cool faceplates. If you buy New 3DS XL, you can enjoy games on a bigger screen. My opinion is, buy the New 3DS. I would because I always like customising my Nintendo systems, but I do not like putting stickers that are hard to remove. Besides, I prefer a smaller 3D screen because the 3D focus looks more accurate and the pixels of most games don't look stretched. I owned a Nintendo 3DS (I still have it, but I broke it's ribbon cable from flipping it so hard in the AR fishing game) and I played demos on the 3DS XL, but I think when it comes to display, it is better to play games on a screen that the game was originally developed for. I saw Diddy Kong racing on Nintendo 64 as a demo on a flatscreen in Gametraders (an Australian merchandise and retro games and consoles store), and the display was so blurry, I could rarely recognise any character in what I think was the character selection screen. So New 3DS is my recommendation to you. Hope this helps.

@OneBagTravel 0.0% chance that Tom will release a black version in Australia. Unknown chance that Satoru will release a 2DS in Japan.
