This new 3DS has to be a fake

[xan_racketBOY_fan]

It's real. Watch the newest Nintendo Direct.

was it really hard for them to add the circle pad? or will they ever do?

The CPP not only added a second circle pad, but additional shoulder buttons. Hm, what could they do to the system without making it fat? Even the PSV lacks a L2/R2 (but has a rear touch panel).

I'm glad, i was thinking of buying a 3DS but it looks so small for my hands. A second stick would be necessary for some games (FPS all i can think about).

So now all of a sudden you guys don't want a second stick?...

Kotaku says the no AC Adapter thing is JPN only, but that it will ship with one in the US.

I am glad I waited - it might finally be time to buy a 3DS...

Seeing that there is an issue with the 3DS XL charger, on a slight tangent a few years ago I bought a charger with these 3 plugs on it - as you can see (from the bottom), a DS plug, a PSP plug and finally one which I thought was useless but has been charging my 3DS quite nicely!

At the time I bought it there was no 3DS even rumoured and it doesn't fit my GBA Micro - could anyone confirm that this is a GBA SP plug perhaps and therefore the SP plug can be used generally for the 3DS?

No doubt, I've enjoyed my time with it but for $199? That black one is pretty slick.

It looks big. Worst part about this design is the lack of the 2nd circle pad.

second circle pad would have been nice. Though I think about god dame time. I did not buy a 3DS even though I really wanted one because I know they would pull something like this. I am just happy it is the XL version instead of a light version. After how they handled the DS I know they would release a new version. I am just happy it is the version I wanted. XL looks sweet. Can't wait to play Star Fox on it.

OMG, my long wait for a redesign 3DS has paid off, unlike when i bought a Phat Titanium DS and few months later here comes the DSLite, oh no, you dont pull shit like that on your customers!

Here's the games i plan on getting:

The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D
Mario Kart 7
Heroes of Ruin
Pilotwings Resort
Pokemon Rumble Blast 3DS
Tales of the Abyss

That's about it for now, i havent read any reviews i just have interest in these titles.
