I think you're right...
...and I think if you listen to podcasts, read GAF posts, etc, circa late 2011, you will laugh your ass off about how many people thought it was the indication of a total 3DS refresh, revision, admission of hardware failure, etc.
It wasn't shit!

Isn't that identical to the old 3ds?
That was one of the reasons.
Now, seems that because of the bigger size of the screens it may not be as needed.
If anything ,the smaller/regular 3DS would be a better sign of that. If units of that size or smaller don't have said black borders; then it was indeed bull.
US gets AC cable too.

They got 2/3 right. Bigger screen? Cool. Longer battery? Much needed. No second stick? Ridiculous. So are they saving it for the next re-vision? : /
I’ll stick with my original. I went through the whole DS gen with my original phat, and I’ll be doing the same here. I think I’m over my 3DS anyway

Posted already.
Man the OP really needs to be updated or people throughout the day tomorrow are going to be asking the same questions again and again.

So why is the bottom limit only improved a half hour but the upper limit improved by 90 minutes? Also, I never figured it out, what DOES cause the extra battery drain. More demanding games? Or is it just having 3d turned on?

salsashark you are Bad At OPs
Now that I dig up those old stories, it's not that he lied: it's that some news sites put words in his mouth. He never actually said there wasn't going to be a revision, he just said some non committal stuff about being satisfied with how the 3DS is now and they're thinking about the future.MIYAMOTO THE LIAR!!!!
hahaha, good I waited
Though that bit about the gyroscope making up for a lack of a right stick definitely was a hint we wouldn't be seeing that added here.

Both. No 3D gets you the upper limit, with 3D your most likely under the lower limit of 3 hours. (on the original). Plus power saving options ofc.

The 'H' stands for hentai.
People talking doubling the pixel resolution to increase the pixel count really didn't think it through. Regardless of whether the console has a resolution increase, the software is programmed to use the resolution of the 3DS. Regardless of whether the hardware has a resolution increase or not, the pixel resolution of games will still be the same, except now one pixel is made up of four pixels. There will be nothing that Nintendo will make that will take advantage of a resolution increase.
With that said, this hardware does look interesting. I wish that the battery life increases were better since I am assuming that this uses a much larger battery.
I will likely buy this bad boy this fall since it does look like the 3DS I always wanted

Nice, the 3DS was uncomfortably small for me. Plus the rounded edges are a nice touch
Will get it in black

People's outrage over the lack of a second stick is ridiculous.

Is it still region locked?
of course it is. It'll be running the same firmware as the 3DS standard units.

To be honest I'd probably be all over this system if it came out in a decent color. NoA needs to fire whoever decided those colors were good.
Exactly. It's the only thing stopping me from getting one.
This. So much.

I'm actually really excited on this one.... I dont really like anything about my 3ds.... Always felt it paled in comparison to my xl.... Really looking forward to this one. I'll probably wait til there's other colors or some cool LEs though as I'll probably be getting a wiiu this year.

Has anybody figured out whether or not the size increase corresponds to a proportional increase of the pixels? It'd be incredibly shitty if it didn't scale quite right and games would look all janked out.

Sigh, still no second stick? What the hell nintendo?
I'm also guessing the current CPP won't be compatible with this new revision? Typical Nintendo. :/
Wretched behavior from Nintendo. Release an add on that is all but required to play certain games properly, release new revision of handheld that makes said add on unusable...until they release new one for the same price.

Might have bit if there had been a second analog stick.
Nope.
That's why I don't get why people are jumping up and down for this.

no second stick is a bummer, but beside it, it's excellent:
1. 'Large' screen
2. Very good Better battery life
3. No shiny border
4. Round corners
5. only $30 more
Really good purchase; I just hope the screen quality is better like DS revisions too; think soon we will have hands-on impressions.
