Shadow Mir Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 (edited) Well, dammit. I had just gotten a Hyrule 3DS this past Christmas... Of course, I'm much more concerned about wanting the Special Edition (or the Limited Edition, failing that)...

Orion5487 Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 I think the design looks good, it looks a lot better than the other god awful designs they've come out with. I still prefer my n3DS (non-XL) with the imported Fates cover plates. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elieson Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 WAY better than the Japanese version Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Giga Man Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 Not a New 3DS standard, so not interested. Would've placed an order in a heartbeat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarthanta Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 Might as well. My XL's Y button is broken, anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shinshia Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 WAY better than the Japanese version Agreed, now I want to get this new one as well, I really like the design. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Radiance Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 (edited) Hey look it's another new 3ds xl that I won't buy...... I am good with my black new 3ds xl. Design is whatever, but it looks nice. Edited January 20, 2016 by Radiance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loki Laufeyson Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 its pretty but i want the pokemon (or Isabelle) one more. Pokemon one mostly because its NORMAL sized. Sorry, but not everyone has huge meaty claws they use to grip things. XLs are too big. If i get an XL, that one with Happy Home Designer is screaming at me. It would be neat to have an FE one but alas....that beast is gonna sell out really fast. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NekoKnight Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 Looks like the DLC is cheaper in America, if you buy the bundle. In Japan it's 2900 yen to get everything, which is about 25USD compared to the 18USD here. Since they only mentioned 11 maps, I wonder if we won't see any more Fates DLC. We haven't had anything since October. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Solkia Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 I'm severely disappointed by the lack of retro Charizard faceplates for this Fire Emblem 3DS I already pre-ordered the Pokemon New 3DS, I wish I could say this gets me as hyped as that did.

We haven't had anything since October. As the main site says, its labeled "Map Pack 1", and with many skill scrolls unreleased, we're most likely going to see more DLC. We'll get there eventually.

Kurrin Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 Ahhh! I just pre-ordered the Pokemon 20th Anniversary New 3DS today and a couple hours later I find out about this. I feel like this is the universe throwing one more curveball right at the Fire Emblem fanatics' faces. Universe: "There's only 1 month left until Fates is officially out. Aren't you excited! Know what would make your struggle even better. How about a brand new New 3DS with a bunch of swirls and other silly designs on it that the fans will eat right up, apparently? Oh, do you already own a New 3DS or have a different one on pre-order that you don't want to cancel because losing that $25 minimum isn't worth it? * trollface * Well, too bad."

ckc22 Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 So. Why do we need to pre-order DLC. Can't uhh. Can't we just buy it like we did in Awakening? Is it cheaper? I really don't know. Maybe as a bundle there's a discount. I looked to see if it qualified for the amazon prime 20% bonus and then decided to wait when it didn't.

stahl_gaius_fan Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 I've been putting off upgrading and this might make me finally get it...I actually like it's non-gaudy design with both the white and black. But I can't find it anywhere. Is it on amazon yet? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nah, you made the right choice. Judging by Fates's success, FE will keep going and going. There'll be more 3DSes. Pokemon will only have a 20th Anniversary once. That's ample reason to pick the RB 3DS over the Fates XL. Always remember, anniversaries mean everything, such as last year being Thomas's 70th Anniversary. It's actually really sad to know that it's over. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cinnamon Bun Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 Tbh I was stoked when I saw the announcement for this buuut IMO it's really plain. I was hoping for something with the fam jams or what have you. Ehhh I'm disappointed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Viberum Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 mmm i prefer the jp n3ds faceplates. I thought they'd just be bringing it here but now i'll just have to buy the faceplates online. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PKL Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 Quick question to those that have played the dlc in the jp version: how good is the dlc this time around? Is it worth it like fe13? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anomalocaris Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 Damnit, it's only the XL version. I'd like to upgrade to a N3DS, but I would much prefer the standard size. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhubarb Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 Damnit, it's only the XL version. I'd like to upgrade to a N3DS, but I would much prefer the standard size. This. At first I did seriously consider getting it (because "oooo shiny" and I don't have a n3ds), but after about an hour I came back to my original get-a-standard-eventually decision over it. Does anyone even know if there is any significant performance increases with a n3ds over a regular? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatsuoki Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 I'm surprised it seems like so many people don't like the design. I love it much more than the JPN one with the overused artwork. I actually would have preferred it to be plainer with just the crests on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tacticianwhite Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 Eh, I've warmed up to its design. It's simplistic, but nice. Not gonna get it, though. I'm happy with my regular 3DS XL. But it's nice that NoA is even giving it to us in the first place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
