announced during the Nintendo Direct, only to Japan on 29 August last year, the new Nintendo 3DS will reach Europe on February 13, about four years after the release of model original and first brought the stereoscopic 3D for the portable experience and was at that time one of the main system flags, which continues to present itself in the form of dual screen, Nintendo’s portable heritage best-selling of all time, Nintendo DS. Although the New Nintendo 3DS system is positioned as a final model when compared to other versions released during this period, especially the 2DS which fell in terms dimensional effects but introduced a cheap model with this console Nintendo seems to make signs to fans of old guard and always in the company, being a clear manifestation that the resonant color image given to the front section with respect to the colorful buttons of the Super Nintendo command buttons.
Notwithstanding the question of the console name lend itself to some difficulty assimilation by the casual consumer, it is no less true that is a new entry in 3DS line format, to improve the gaming experience, especially more comfortable in the use of 3D as well as a CPU able to provide better playable experiences. The most important point is the potential fragmentation of the market. The New Nintendo 3DS works as a turbo version of the 3DS and a large part of the functionality is higher than the original model, highlighting immediately so that we have in hand, the c-stick, definitely away unsightly “circle pad pro”.
New 3DS Metallic Blue Box.
“The New Nintendo 3DS works as a turbo version of the 3DS.”
It is no accident that Nintendo first chose the Japanese market to launch the console. That’s where, weekly, 3DS on top the top consoles and more advanced 3DS, nothing like Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate dictating the transition to the new format, game that soon rose to the top of the preferences of Japanese. On the one hand the Nintendo looks globally with the new 3DS for their fans ever, Japan is the logical step to continue to play a very special market, with strong implementation of mobile. With New Nintendo 3DS Nintendo looking resume progression something in the decline of traditional models of 3DS and stir for players with a portable version of Xenoblade Chronicles, one of the best JRPG’s of recent years, exclusively for the new console.
Almost a month we enjoyed the capabilities of a New Nintendo 3DS and a good pair of games that very soon will be launched along with the console: The Legend of Zelda : Majora’s Mask, the cult classic designed by Yoshiaki Koizume, the worker of Super Mario Galaxy and big game hunting in Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate. Nintendo gave us a Nintendo 3DS XL New (Metallic Blue) and then from the observation of the box we find the intention of Nintendo in listing the main new features of the console, alluding to the stable super 3D XL screens (in this version, which in terms size is identical to the previous model 3DS XL), C stick (disappears the circle pad pro) and NFC function to receive the family of Nintendo figures, Amiibo.
Inside the New 3DS XL box contains the user manuals, a set of cards augmented reality and the console, but will have to purchase one additional name charger if the applicant has a charger of any 3DS or 2DS version.
In terms of appearance will not see any major difference in terms of “housing”, the XL model of 3DS and New 3DS is almost the same. However metallic blue New 3DS is bright, reflects light and is very soft to the touch. The entry of cartridges is now the front of the lower base, left side, a new position but that does not affect access. The stylus (pen to use the touch screen) went to the lower front part to the right of the entrance to the headphones. A pen is slightly smaller but slightly thicker. The button “power” also has a new location, right next to the cavity for the stylus. Interestingly is not as good as the previous position to turn on the console support involving the other hand to hold the terminal, since it is not a knurled knob and therefore require some more effort and balance.
In the lower back remain the R and L buttons on the same site, as well as the input to the charger (remember that the Nintendo 3DS New does not include charger, like the 3DS XL models but any charger one of the other consoles is compatible) but the two support buttons ZL and ZR, as second triggers which accede with great ease, forming the novelty in this section.
C stick is one of the big news in New 3DS.
In terms of cards for data storage, including games purchased in the eShop, Nintendo 3DS New only works with Micro SD cards (and not all are compatible), and factory is included a Micro SD card 4GB . Not being able to use the 3DS SD cards may however transfer the data to the new console, along with your Nintendo Network ID, 3D images and everything else, but make sure that have a card in the new console capable of receiving all data, otherwise you will only spend part of the data. Can not do the reverse, pass data from New 3DS to an older model. To access the Micro card entry will have to unscrew the two screws that connect the underside of the console and remove with some care from the side projections. In Japan the covers of the New Normal 3DS can be changed and customized, while for the XL model this option is not yet available.
Opening the console, the focus is on the placement of the C stick just above buttons diamond and something tilts down to the left. It is similar to the analog stick is small and hard, resembling a normal button (X or Y type) but with a rubber composition so that the finger does not easily release when pressure is exerted. However the reaction to the touch is very good and in games like Majora’s Mask or Monster Hunter worked perfectly. When strange a little its hardness but quickly got used to the principle that generates immediate response every time we exert pressure with your thumb.
section later in New 3DS, with the new ZR and ZL buttons.
Another point that immediately captures the attention is the color of the letters of the buttons. Unfortunately, the model 3DS Metallic Blue Nintendo chose not to paint the buttons with the colors in the exact SNES command model, and instead chose to leave the blue buttons, the same color of the console, and the colors refer to the letters . It is a discrete option, more sober, but eventually unsatisfactory for the fan of old guard who did not care to find that part of some more colorful console.
Next to the inner lens there is now a brightness detector space where they are. It is a device which adjusts the brightness of the panel in accordance with the light in the space where in order to safeguard any more and save battery power. But you can still manually select the intensity of light from the console. The “home” button is identical to the 2DS. It’s small, despite being built in the lower section of the base touchscreen, which originally stood, responds very well. Have the Select and Start buttons moved to the lower right side of the touch screen, like the DS Lite.
Majora’s Mask will be released on 13 February, together with the New 3DS and entitled pack console with a special edition.
Once connected a game (matter to note that the New Nintendo 3DS system is backward compatible with the games of the 3DS but also the entire list of published games for Nintendo DS and DSi) in terms of 3D effects can be observed that the stereoscopic effect has enhanced stability and does not cause (at least in frequency) starting something that image, gender glass clicked when we changed the position of the console. At the expense of the camera that detects your face and channels the effect toward these unpleasant effects and that led many people to turn off the 3D decreased dramatically. However and even to move the console the 3D effect is not lost easily. Personally, I never felt problems to play with 3D maximum in the previous model, so I continued to do it now, watching in fact greater stability. Interestingly, while playing Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate checked some flashes, while in Majora’s Mask that rarely happened.

Still in terms of buttons, disappeared the button to enable or disable the wireless feature, which means that they can only do so in the context of options, but the data transfer is faster. On the other hand, the controller of the 3D effects moved to the upper right side of the screen and adjusting the volume to the left side. Unlike the Wii U GamePad of which has a placeholder for the Amiibos in New 3DS can put them on the touch screen and transfer the data.

As respect the “turbo” on the CPU, it does not seem that any of these two games make full use of the additional capacity. The Majora’s Mask features a graphic pattern entirely in line Ocarina of Time and Monster Hunter Ultimate 4, despite some good effects, is still in the line of games for the 3DS. Nintendo has already said that the games that will take advantage of the additional CPU power will be exclusive to the portable version, and Xenoblade Chronicles is one of them, so it remains to be seen how will the Nintendo deal with the fragmentation that for this option will impose on your mobile segment. In any event, the console connection, access to the menus, the eShop and data transfer operating with great ease.
So far the contact with the New 3DS has been very positive, stressing particularly using the C stick, 3D improved and the higher speed transfers. The games that we used together can be played in another portable version but in both there is a natural gain in New 3DS, especially because they are more comfortable. The New Nintendo 3DS is a right decision on Nintendo’s plan to gradually evolve their handheld consoles, something that happens since the release of the Game Boy, but this evolution in performance will require some effort to avoid market fragmentation . It can be a great point to sell the new console but will the market for New 3DS enough be extended to justify more titles. Seeing the top weekly Japanese sales, Nintendo 3DS New is the new favorite of the Japanese laptop. Lack conquer the world.
