Because there's an accessory in wild created by Nintendo, whilst the PSP didn't have one.

No AC adapter

And why is a resolution upgrade not possible?
Matte is a good thing. Gloss all over is tacky.
The new design is still worse, though.

Hmmm, might nab the silver. Also: HOORAY FOR BETTER START/SELECT BUTTONS!
That would pretty much be a given now!
Games are hard-coded to display at 800x200 (3D mode).
Is a big 3DS, nothing more. And is not phasing out the OG 3DS.
Why isn't this choice available in America at launch?Silver X Black:
Looks like the backside of an iPad.
Do we have confirmation on "No AC Adapter" in the US? I hear only Europe and Japan right now will not have the AC Adapter's bundled.

The colours are kind of pointless if it's just the outer top plastic being changed.

To not include an AC adapter is one of the most pathetic things I've ever seen. It's totally incomprehensible and unacceptable. Is it really possible to be more greedy? just to save a couple of dollars.
You buy a 200 dollars machine and you can't even turn it on, there will be a lot of confusion between new buyers.

Battery life was not doubled for 3DS games. 3.5-6.5 hours

I paid good money for this Dynex!
Cool, we get our choice between an ugly shade of red, or an ugly shade of blue.
Would hope for a region free Japanese system, but that's obviously not fucking happening because... NINTENDO!

Same reason why people were hoping for dual analog sticks. If I recall it correctly, Nintendo never did that anyway. Also if it had dual analog sticks and future games were designed especially for this - which would have been a shitload of games - it would be a complete mess for original 3ds owners, since they would HAVE to use the additional analog stick accessory like ALL THE TIME.

I think it's time for all the "Circle Pad Pro means immanent revision!!!1" people need to eat some crow.
The Circle Pad Pro was analogous to the Classic Controller Pro on Wii: It was entirely a concession to Capcom to allow Monster Hunter to control on the platform. That's all it ever was!

The slide pad looks different...thicker? If it had more of a concave dip, it could be nice. Current slider is slippy.
bleh, barely

Won't games looks worse stretched on a larger screen and kept at the same res? Also, it's really odd that they didn't include a second stick. Especially since they have the franken-CPP add-on.
Meh will skip this version and wait for the next redesign. Hopefully we'll eventually get a 3DSLite.

Maybe he, like me, makes the distinction between a redesign and a new SKU to be sold alongside the current product.

white looks the least offensive. Red looks like a Virtual Boy tribute. Looks so cheap. Man Nintendo needs some fresher designers.

All the more reason I'm going to wait on the XL version. Those two colors don't do it for me, after my smexy purple 3DS.

Didn't get the memo regarding the 14th Amendment
Well, I was actually about to get a 3DS this week but I think my plans are changing. I just wish it came out sooner.
Although part of me just wants to get the original. Bigger screen + extra battery life isn't that big of a deal. I was mainly waiting to see if there were major changes to the system itself.

I can't *believe* these lazy developers keep making file sizes so damn large. Btw, how does technology work?
LMAO. I completely agree with you, and feel your pain. But for some reason your post cracked me up. It's amazing how (relatively) stupid shit like this can drive us so freaking mad.

Meh I don't like the insides much. Its obviously very Japanese in design but it looks a bit odd to me. The red matte looks nice though.

Matte plastic? That's a plus IMO. All that shiny plastic shit is made to look like crap after use.
Also, Nyko is going to make a KILLING off this line. They can push cheap A/C adapters out and add a line of Circle Plus Batter pack add ons. Sure it will look like a Sega Nomad, but the bigger the better on hands.

Pretty much how I'm feeling. While the lack of a second stick doesn't bother me, the lack of a resolution increase does.

Oh come the fuck on. What do they have against White?
Sony has pulled the same crap with not releasing white PS3/PS2/PSP's outside of Japan. I think the AC3 Vita White bundle is the first time ever possibly.

So specifically because of the 3D mode? Aren't all games hard-coded to display at a specific resolution?
I'm pretty certain Reggie in the video just said Red and Blue.

I didn't know you could do that. I really haven't played my 3DS that much, I guess that's good.

The games are designed for a specific resolution.
A higher resolution screen would literally do nothing to change the look of the games.
If you started re-rendering games in a new resolution, you'd need additional graphical hardware in there... and that's like talking about a new platform altogether.
No upgrade to a handheld platform has EVER had a resolution increase! No one should ever expect something like that! This is a crazy new meme or something, no basis in reality!
