I really wish NOA would stop with these Limited Editions that only have a Steelbook and no regular game case. I'd maybe import the European one, but it has one of those godawful music USB sticks like Xenoblade Chronicles X. I guess I'm going standard on this, unless Japan's LE looks good.
This is an amazing idea, I hope it comes to the US! When the Joycon concept was announced I was excited that it would make collecting variant consoles a lot easier and cheaper, but then I realized that it would mean I wouldn't have the whole box if I just bought new Joycons. As long as this has all of the inserts and stuff like that, I'd absolutely get one for each bundle that comes out.
I just bought another New 3DS secondhand, but this is good news either way. Hopefully these will actually stick around on shelves throughout the rest of the 3DS' life as a normal product. I had to pay way more than $150 dollars to get a system that didn't even have it's box.
@whitemaskedhero Those might be a long way off, and they would probably be 2d 16-bit-esque games. The Dreamcast community has plenty of releases, but very few of them (I'm only aware of one) has any 3d graphics, and it's a point and click game that looks like Myst.
I've been interested in the basic AnalogueNt for a while now, but its on the expensive side for not including the HDMI upgrade and also not supporting SCART at all.
@River3636 I'm a physical media person, and I use one of those "great gadgets", but only because I can rip the CDs I buy and then put them on the device.
@Nintendian The number at the back is the browser version included in the update. It's been increasing recently because Nintendo is really trying to get rid of all of the exploits in the browser.
I was interested until they looked really bad... they show fingerprints a ton. And then I noticed that they also don't mention any sort of UV protection or anything. Sorry, but I'm not paying for little actual protection.
I've said it since the eShop started on the 3DS, but Nintendo really needs to organize the shop better. When I go into the eShop on 3DS or Wii U, I see a a smattering of temporary collections of games, individual games, and a lower section that I honestly have no clue as to the purpose of. The Wii Shop Channel, DSi shop, and PlayStation stores on the other hand have neat, permanent sections that allow you to easily view all items of a certain type. If the eShop just had sections for retail games, Virtual Console, 3D Classics, Apps, download only titles, etc., it would be easy to find everything on offer. With the way the shops are set up right now, most items are hard to find or inaccessible without a search for the title, which severely limits discovery of new items.

Re: The Nintendo DSi Shop Shuts Down Next Year
The beauty of digital only games: collecting has a time limit. Time to buy a bunch of points and try to fill out the catalog...

Re: Futuridium EP Deluxe Approaches Wii U Release, Though the New 3DS Will Need to Wait Longer
This game has a lot of promise, especially with a physical release on PS4 and Vita on the horizon!

Re: Site News: Welcome To The Brand New Nintendo Life!
It looks nice, and now it's easier to block the featured article section from getting in the way of the chronological content!

@rjejr Didn't we already see the trophy in the broadcast?
Re: New Fire Emblem on 3DS Takes Shape as Two Separate Releases in Japan

Re: Latest 3DS Update Adds HOME Menu Layouts And Prepares Older Systems For amiibo Support
@Kawaiipikachu New 3DS is a 3DS model... It's a hardware revision, not a new line.
Re: New Nintendo 3DS Exploit Makes Japanese Systems Region-Free
@retro_player_22 The whole point is playing NA games on the New 3DS.

Re: Card Format amiibo Confirmed to be Heading our Way This Year
Now I regret opening my figure collection... Cards would have made it pointless...
Re: Talking Point: The New Nintendo 3DS Could Be a Huge Success, But Its Route to Release Has Been Rocky
@KillScottKill You aren't skipping a generation if you skip the New 3DS. I imagine we'll see the next generation hardware in 2-3 years.
