3DS

[Clones]

I bought a 3DS XL a while ago. I can fit in my pockets.

 

I have huge pockets.

I don't get it. And the makers of this thing are the same guys who are saying "meh" to the greatest gaming launch lineup ever.

Art has tipped me off to the fact that they're making another rendition of the 3DS. So far it's only confirmed for Japan:

This time around it has a second stick (yay), which is unfortunately just a tiny nub above the ABYX buttons. I wish they would've moved the start/select buttons and made more room. On top of that, there's also two new back/shoulder buttons.

 

It has a better CPU, so it's going to get some exclusive games (as of this moment, Xenoblade Chronicles has been announced). The comparison being made is that this is like the jump from original Game Boy to GBC, or DS to DSi. Since it's a bit more major of a hardware revision, it seems like an awkward time to announce it to me. Also, I hope they make a point of making a greater distinction between the names of the devices because of all this.

 

Oh, and as it is, there will be a ~30 cent fee to remove a filter from the browser:

I'm still going to end up buying it because it'll make Mohan 4 much easier to deal with.
