The Official New 3DS Hype Train Thread! All Aboard!

January 30th 2015, 9:04 pm

The launch of the New 3DS has nearly arrived in North America so it's time to hop aboard the hype train! All aboard W00t! Wink

January 30th 2015, 9:40 pm

Getting mine soon! I hope this means the 3DS has a few more years in it before the handheld/home console hybrid comes out

January 31st 2015, 11:35 am

Too bad the investors want Nintendo to release the new handheld and console next year. Thank god they aren't the people in charge. victory

I already have the Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate limited edition New 3DS pre-ordered! =)
Is anyone else picking up the MH4U New 3DS Limited Edition?

January 31st 2015, 10:02 pm

Next day off I HAVE to order my 128GB micro SD Card so it can get here by the 14th... I bought a normal 128GB back in Aug. (2 weeks before Nintendo announced the NEW 3DS and it's micro SD cards only...)

January 31st 2015, 11:13 pm

Even though I'm in a country in which New 3DS consoles are already available, I have yet to be able to get one. Therefore, I would like one ticket to board the N3DS HypExpress!

Who purchased a New 3DS today?! I didn't because I can't afford one, but what about you guys? Wink

The Majora's Mask New 3DS looks awesome, too bad the scalpers are ruining a bunch of people's day. Neutral

Eh, I just ignore 'em. There's a reason why their consoles don't really sell too often, and it's a simple one: people generally have something called common sense. If resellers charge double or even triple for something rare, people won't buy. And if people don't buy...

When does the New 3DS launch in North America?

Really? Lol, yesterday.

February 14th 2015, 6:35 pm

Still not going to get it while my original 3DS is still working. Or a real killer app is coming exclusive to the New 3DS. Xenoblade isn't that for me, but I can't see them bring out Mario or other first party games exclusive to the New 3DS. Not with the huge originel 3DS and 2DS user base. Still feels like a DSi like for me.

Gamestop cancelled my pre order for my Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate limited edition New 3DS. Sad

Did they give you a reason or any type of compensation for your troubles because that's ridiculous!

No. They didn't even return my $5 that they charged me to pre order the game. Sad

The same thing has happened to me when dealing with them awhile back. I'd strongly urge Gamestop customers not to pre-order anything from them because you will lose your $5 pre-order charge if your pre-order gets cancelled. Twisted Evil

I have mine pre ordered from GAME, but its still not in stock. Sad

Is the New 3DS hard to find elsewhere?

As far as I can tell it's sold out just about everywhere.

Really? GameStop charges a $5 fee for preorders in the US?! Our version of GameStop (EB Games) doesn't charge any fees for preorders or laybys, though they do require a minimum deposit. But not refunding the fee because they cancelled it is downright (endless string of insults and mild swears aimed at GameStop removed) cinnamon toast! >: (

Wow, that's unfortunate. The New 3DS has been in abundance here since it launched, and that's even with the exports to Europe. I hope your preorder arrives soon, @Fox_McCloud. Sad

The $5 is the minimum deposit, but for some reason Gamestop won't give you back the $5 if your pre-order is cancelled. The Official New 3DS Hype Train Thread! All Aboard! 1625187496

I have a NEW 3DS, but can transfer anything over until my micro SD card comes fixed in the mail... Hopefuly by March

W00t I just got an Australian New 3DS for our coin shop courtesy of GAME! The price will be set at 50,000 Coins! Wink

Wow! Does anyone from Australia have that many coins?

February 16th 2015, 11:40 am

Nobody does, so if @GamerZack87 @Aussiegamer or any other member wants to get it they'll have to actively work for it! Technically with 50 friend requests accepted 20 posts per day and at least 100 liked posts 20 thanked posts and logging in everyday it's possible to obtain 50,000 coins from 0 coins in a single year, and some members already have 30,000+ coins, so...

I just noticed Aussiegamer's Coin count. It looks like he has me beat! A pre-emptive congratulations to you, sir. Wink

February 17th 2015, 8:40 am

I finally got my MH4U system yesterday. Love this thing as the 3d no longer is just there but it feels more like a solid image now. Like a standard thing that the graphics should always look this way.

February 17th 2015, 12:49 pm

I can't find a New 3DS anywhere. Sad

February 18th 2015, 6:01 pm

Drat. Between BurstDashV8's visit in a couple months' time, my trip to see him a few months after that and my studies in the second half of the year, I don't see any way that I could get myself a New 3DS this year. It's a real blow to the (insert sensitive body part here) since I was really pumped to try Xenoblade Chronicles for the first time. Oh well, I guess there's always next year... Neutral

February 18th 2015, 9:53 pm

Glad I pick mine up when I did, since it's very rare in the US now... I just have to wait till I get my SD Card repaired

February 19th 2015, 12:46 pm

There aren't any New 3DS consoles anywhere in my state! Prinny

I don't think that there are any in the country right now.

February 21st 2015, 12:28 pm

How's the 3D compared to the "old 3DS"?

February 21st 2015, 6:22 pm

I'm still 16,500 Coins away from being able to get the New 3DS. That's, what, 1,000 posts? 2,000?

February 21st 2015, 6:32 pm

@Rukia there's a little glare still, but it's a HUGE improvement for sure

February 21st 2015, 7:43 pm

So which model and colour do each of you have?

February 21st 2015, 7:56 pm

None, but I might try to get the Pearl White model for Christmas. Wink

You've already gained 142 coins in the past 12 hours. Wink

February 21st 2015, 7:58 pm

White is my first choice of colour, so I hope that I earn enough Coins to redeem for the one in the Coin Shop! Otherwise, I can forget about buying one this year.

February 21st 2015, 8:00 pm

I have red since its my favorite color... Also my SD card should be in the mail on Monday, so I might have everything on my NEW 3DS by Monday night

Indeed. In the end I didn't like the 3D effect on the traditional 3DS, so hopefully I find the New 3DS is much more to my tastes.
