I can see this model selling quite well over the summer and into the holiday season, especially with parents of younger gamers since it's so affordable.
The price is a bit too high for its limited capabilities. I gladly buy one for like $100.
It's likely to drop to $100 around next summer way I see it. They still want the spare change from those that never really bought in on 3DS but have their eyes set on a few select titles by now.
Nintendo is a very financially conservative company so they didn't price it at $100 cause their profit margin would have been way too low per unit plus they're not making much on 3DS software anymore since most new buyers will purchase a lot of their games used.
@SuperNintend0rk - I don't think Nintendo is that impacted by used sales. Many of their notable titles have great legs and used prices for their games are generally pretty high.
I think NIntendo just wants bigger profits and are keeping 3DS prices high because they can. Which is fine but I wouldn't buy this for $150.
That's true. Nintendo hardware is always a bit overpriced when it's released so they make more off the early adopters.

Seems like Nintendo's going to hold on to the 3DS a little longer than expected.
That makes sense if the Switch is going to become their one core platform. They'd want to support the fairly successful 3DS long enough so that the Switch doesn't isolate longtime handheld gamers who are intimidated by prices of over $200. The fact that there is a bit of steam left for the 3DS helps. Dragon Quest 11 alone can move some hardware.
I enjoy the 3D effect on my 3DS and use it frequently, but some people's eyes just can't handle stereoscopic 3D (like my younger brother). So this would be perfect for them. It's nice that they went back to the clam shell style. I didn't understand why they didn't make the original 2DS closeable.

I really do hope that in the future, if Nintendo is looking at making a new handheld (instead of using the Switch as the dual console/handheld) that they look into not only a second circle pad, but in making them more like joysticks. I see the nub on the right and so want it to be like an actual Joystick.
On topic, yay for this machine. I have a 3DSXL and 99.8% of the time never have the 3D on.
I wonder if it's gonna impact Switch sales
Will it be able to play New Nintendo 3DS Games? Also, SNES games from the Virtual Console? I presume the answer is yes with the new processor, but would love confirmation.
Yes. You are correct!
I'm pretty sure it will support both of those types of games since it has the same "new" logo. Nintendo probably would have name it something different if it didn't support all of the same games as the 3D version
Nintendo's gotten a lot better at designing their hardware lately.
