Nintendo has  shown off a new redesigned look for the 3DS and 3DS XL. The new models includes additional buttons, a directional and trigger, and new NFC support.

The new models will also include better screen support, enabling 3D effects to be displayed from more angles.

The new 3DS models will not be released before 2015, but it is expected to come to Japan first. Nintendo is also releasing a new set of face plates with the handhelds. Now you can decorate your 3DS to be Mario or Animal Crossing themed.

A new 3DS firmware update was also announced. This update will enable users to change your handheld’s OS theme. A classic Mario and a Zelda A Link Between Worlds theme was shown.

    I would not trade my old one in for another 3ds. If I traded my old one in for anything it would be for a 2ds. I very rarely use the 3d on my current ds. The only advantage for the 3ds for me is the fact that it folds and can fit into my pocket.

      True. It makes me upset that they release so many iterations that makes early adopters end up regretting their quick purchase
