They've insisted they won't be putting their games on mobile or competitor consoles, though.

Well if it stays there then I will just keep playing PsOne games on my vita.
If they don't want my money that's fine.
I'm not gonna get all worked up over it

Looks like Nintendo ran out of ideas for their next handheld.

Defending what? New games only running on new hardware?
What is there to defend or be outraged about?
People will never understand! Confusion among the masses! Just look at the iPad situation!

I'm glad more people will be able to play this game, but it deserves an HD port, imo. Thank goodness Dolphin exists.
Anyone who would buy a WiiU for a Xenoblade remake will buy a WiiU for Xenoblade X.
On the other hand, some people will buy the New 3DS for this game. Seems like a pretty solid business decision.

It has *New* in big letters. It's a better distinction than U was, at least.
The next Nintendo console will be called *new* Wii U.
Let me get this straight. So, between "no game at all" and "yes game, but only for the revision that has more power"... you choose no game at all? If you can't play it, nobody can?
OK, I guess.
Explain? Since when is a hardware revision by Nintendo a marker that "they have run out of ideas"? If so, I guess the LCD Vita was a suicide letter, right?

Y'all motherfuckers should buy a new 3DS for MonHun4 anyways so this is a non-issue
I'm kidding, it is kinda baffling
Long RPGs do well on handhelds though. The various Dragon Quest ports, Final Fantasys, etc. all play well on the small screen and nearly all of them can go into the triple digits. Some of the best selling 3DS titles are RPGs people sink thousands of hours into.
Hey, it's called "New 3ds".
You need to make it rhyme. New 'U'.

It's not, it's a small update to the 3DS hardware likely to buy time for the next handheld. Also this is the best 3DS possible for playing all 3DS games going forward, which will be nice since the next handheld likely won't be backwards compatible.
It's just basically the DSi version of the 3DS. I don't know why people are having such a hard time with this.
I never should have bought my 3ds. Basically a 200$ fire emblem machine.
Off to craigslist I go.

Hey, don't stress. The *New* 3DS can use amiibo's so you needed that shit, xenoblade port or no.

I wonder if my 3DS will be able to play half the games that come out from now on then. I should probably get to selling it before a lot of people know about this.

Also, are the talking about the XL that is the new 3DS, or is this a whole new 3DS they are talking about? Talk about confusing.

any pics of this new 3ds???
FFX/X2 remastered was the best on the Vita. I put in well over 100 hours into each and loved being able to play it on the bus, metro, waiting for appointments and in bed.

Perhaps because the DSi never got a Xenoblade Chronicles exclusive port.
In any of the "new 3DS" topics on the front page?

I'm not sure I 100% understand your question, but there is both a *New* 3DS, and a *New* 3DS LL, both feature the processor improvements.

What?! NO! New 3DS only!? Damn it!
Looks like I will have to get it now for Xenoblade... god damn you Nintendo.
This is a pretty shitty move though... I understand why, but no other company does this. They usually stick with the specs until next gen, but this is like... 1.1 to next gen, they didn't need to make such a move until next gen
Edit: Oh wait Xenoblade "remake" for 3DS? Phew. Not so necessary after all... For now. I sadly feel a game will be announced that I can't ignore though for this only.

I've been reading a lot of the posts in this thread, and this is the most agreeable post I could find. It's as if people don't want a new, better 3DS, despite all of the complaints people have had about the system being underpowered. New improved hardware costs money to upgrade to for any system, this shouldn't be surprising and getting this much outrage, but okay, I guess?
I do wish Nintendo would stop posting New in front of things though. I really do.
On topic though, I'm looking forward to seeing how this version of Xenoblade actually runs on release. 3DS games tend to look much better when you actually play the game instead of watching video footage or still images.

So you can't run this game on an XL that is out currently? Whoa, well, let us hope the new XL can do some AA, but I doubt it.

Cool news!
Vita has a much higher resolution. Xenoblade was not playable on the Wii for me due to its already low resolution. Squishing it on to a 3DS screen now? No thanks.
I've done it before and it's super easy.

There is now a 2DS, 3DS, 3DS XL, New 3DS, and new 3DS XL. The latter 2 have improved processors.
LMAO.
...
LMAO.

LMAO. Oh, Nintendo... yeah, because I'm totally buying a third 3DS revision just for one title. Get the fuck out of here.
Ray Wonder said:
This is screwing with the 2DS as well. If they actually gave a 3DS that removed the 3D gimmick with this new processor, maybe I'd trade in my five month old in bought years 2DS. But nope. I've got Dolphin to play Xenoblade, Nintendo. No thank you.

I dunno, I can't really get mad. Seems like I'm in the minority, though. Yikes!
