@Kaze_Memaryu Yeah, you're completely right. Main reason I wanted the regular New 3DS was because of its smaller size. But I also wanted it because of the faceplates and the colored buttons as well. If somebody wants the New 3DS over the XL simply because of the colored buttons, there's nothing wrong with that. And I also find that most people that tell others to quit complaining about the regular New 3DS are usually people that prefer the XL. Kind of biased. XP
The one thing that's really good about these New 3DS's is the stable 3D. It's just really impossible to play games like Smash Bros without moving out of the sweet spot. But now the head tracking can fix that! Anyways, due to the smaller version skipping NA, I decided not to get it yet and instead just keep my current XL and buy more games for it before I upgrade. I don't really care about the black one cause I have a black XL already. Red is nice but ehh.... I think I'll wait till they come out with some more special editions. Hopefully, one for the new Fire Emblem!
Club Nintendo was never really that good anyways. Every time they actually did come out with something great (like the Smash demo codes) it was only for "select members". Nintendo should really just give everyone fair treatment. I hope they do with this new program. And please put up rewards that are actually worth the hassle of building up points.
@invictus4000 I think that would be a nice idea. But I'm not really sure if that would be worth it considering how much amiibo cost. I may not even be able to find the easter egg then it might just be wasted money.
Personally, I am not really liking the whole amiibo thing. They are a bit pricey to me and they don't really do enough to be worth a purchase. It's kind of like physical DLC to me. And these things are so darn difficult to find. It's just not worth it in my opinion.
@KillScottKill I've had an XL for about 10 months now and I like the big screen but I don't like the blown up pixels and I'm kind of getting sick of its big size. It sucks. I really wanted the new standard one cause it was smaller and for the faceplates.
@Bazly Sorry you feel that way. But I can understand. It is really annoying when these things happen. To be honest, only real reason I still stick around with Nintendo is because of their games. But yeah, they've really got on my nerves with their decisions in the last past few years. sigh Like I almost actually sold my Wii U because they kept upsetting me but then I saw their 2015 line up and I kind of decided to keep it... Not sure how much longer I can keep dealing with it though.
@iPWNoobs Just because you prefer the XL doesn't mean that people don't have the right to complain. How would you feel if it was the XL not coming to NA? The XL is fine and I own one but I wanted the regular New 3DS. It isn't fair that everyone else gets to have it.
Nintendo, please! Just release the regular New 3DS over here. It's not fair to just exclude us. I really want one. And so do a lot of other people. I doubt they're gonna change their minds, but whatever. sigh Well, they'd better at least have more of the Majora's Mask XL available by the time it releases... >_>
@JaxonH Haha that sounds awesome. I think one of the main reasons I didn't really like the MH3U demo is because I didn't understand it. I fought and beat the Lagombi multiple times and I did enjoy that. But I got completely obliterated by the Plesioth. I don't understand. I chose many different weapons and I even restored my health multiple times but that thing will not die! I remember hitting it countless times and I spent like an hour fighting it and it won't give up. So that's where I kind of thought "If I can't beat this thing, I probably won't stand a chance against harder enemies in the real game."
@JaxonH Yeah, I've heard people say before that I need to play the full game to fully understand it. I don't think playing another demo would really convince me so I guess it's better to just buy it to see what it's like!
Interesting. I think I might consider getting this. But I'm not sure though because I really didn't like the MH3U demo and that kind of made me avoid getting it. :/
Never really understood Hatsune Miku. Why are the only games she ever gets are singing games? I always thought she was interesting but seriously. I wish she could have some other type of game. Lol.
@electrolite77 Exactly. I wanted a regular New 3DS instead of the XL. All these people saying "there is no real reason to get it over the XL" don't know what they're talking about. I OWN an XL but I wanted the regular new one due to the faceplates, colorful buttons, and it's smaller size. This is disappointing. I honestly can't believe some people are actually defending this.
