I wish it had the c-stick. I feel like this is just a way for Nintendo to push the Super Smash Bros 3DS on us and then make us buy the N3DS when that drops. Why they didn't release the N3DS as the original 3DS we will never know. I probably won't buy one until the N3DS hits North America.

Just the Smash Logo on the Red 3ds would've been epic,Similar to the Zelda 3ds's that have been released. This just seems cluttered.

I hate these special edition consoles. Anybody who actually HELPED OUT NINTENDO by buying these things when they first came out won't want to buy a new special edition thing that is just as if not more expensive. I like the new route they're taking with the new 3ds. Now people can customize their console without dropping 150 - 200 bucks.
DecalGirl has some pretty great options (including custom made decals) for $20 on a 3DS XL, here's a pic of mine

Just saying there is really no point in buying this if you already have a 3ds XL already might as well just wait until the new 3ds XL comes out that is what everyone is going to be buying including myself.

I WAS planning to get one, as my 3DS Shoulder Buttons are broken, but then they announced the New 3DS...until that comes out, I'll map shield to the X button or something like that.

I could probably make a Smash Bros 3DS Skin that would look just as good as these :facepalm: So glad the New 3DS has customizable options. I'd rather save up for that.

I'll hold off for the New 3DS, thanks.

That cover design is just excessive, it's basically the existing 3DS XL colors with a decal slapped on it.
Get a gelaskins if you want a fancy degin for the one you already have and BOOM now you have (insert favorite smash bros character here) on your 3ds and it only costs $20-$25 so i'll be saving my $200 thank you very much or atleasst my $180 :p

With MH4U launching next year as well as the upgraded 3DS, I see absolutely NO point in wasting money on a Smash 3DS XL. Upgraded RAM, more buttons, and better SD card support are much more appealing than a Smash cover. Sorry, Nintendo. You're too slow.

I've noticed something odd.

A 3DS XL coming for the next smash bros. when......Nintendo....releases the 3...D..S....LL...........Huh.

Wouldn't they want the new 3DS C-stick on the new 3DS for smash bros? Art is fancy yes, but with this in mind it just puzzles me.

Was this an actual trailer as well? If so, can someone show me the link?

Aw..
I thought it was EU only at first (which would have been nice), but now US gets it (okay with me) AND they get a blue version (While EU is stuck with the red one. I want a blue one but I already ordered a red one..)

If it's not the new C-stick one, there's not much point other than the skin. Should have just combined the skin and C-stick to make 1 great 3DS/XL

For real though, the white consoles are so much more pretty. They should make more white special editions. These just look like the XY editions that came out.

I feel bad for the people that buy this without any knowledge of the New 3DS. Heck, I feel bad for everybody that owns a current 3DS.

I don't get the point in upgrading to the Smash-themed 3DS XL when we know the "New 3DS" model will lead to "New 3DS" exclusive games in the future. Why would anyone want to upgrade now when they'll likely need to upgrade in the relatively near future?

I wish so bad that Smash3DSXL, I want it because I already had bad moments with my previous 3DSXL playing Kid Icarus Uprising, the Circle Pad didn't stand good after 1 year of careful playing. :ohwell:



Write these words,
If Sakurai don't put configurable/changeable D-PAD buttons (instead of C-Pad) a lot of users will report Circle Pads that threw out the portable.
I saw a homebrew of a youtuber using GameCube controller (like the Wii U version) in the 3DS, but he already said that won't release the app due to Nintendo suing him :luigi:

Think I'll stick with the new NEW 3DS or whatever the PR guy who comes up with naming these systems and should be fired calls it

Yeah I'm going to buy it mainly because my birthday is on the 14th, so it's very easy for me to obtain it and I mean I can just get the New 3DS after more games come out for it. I want Xenoblade, but I can hold off on it until more games utilizing the new features come out. That most likely won't happen until 2016, so I think I'm making a great choice with a console displaying some of my favorite Franchises :)

$200 for an ugly-*** decal on a flat 3DS XL? No thanks. Especially when it doesn't even come with the game, what's the point of that?

Not worth buying regular 3DS anymore anyway when the N3DS will be coming next year (even if there's no confirmation on it coming to the west just yet).
I'm sticking to my original purple 3DS with the gloss/sparkles on it, the 3DS will always be my favorite looking under the DS format all because of that. Here's hoping the N3DS doesn't do boring flat colors like with the 3DS XL, that's one of the things I hate about the 3DS XL, besides the top screen not looking sharp due to wrong scaling in resolution.
What if the N3DS is extremely expensive?

Then I will save up for it, or I'll wait for the inevitable price drop. I don't see the regular N3DS being worth over $300 at best. Maybe the XL, but not the normal one (which is the one I'd go for, unless the New XL no longer has that blurry resolution to it).

It'll probaby be $320 or something :T
