But in addition, the big N is going to support the premiere of its renewed laptop with two powerful titles, highly anticipated by fans of the console, and we are talking about nothing more and nothing less than The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask 3D y Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate, which will also be sold in packs along with New Nintendo 3DS.
After the recent Nintendo Direct -the first of this newly released 2015-, we are going to review everything we know so far about this machine, which will come loaded with various new features, such as more powerful hardware or design improvements that will make a difference with 3DS.

New Nintendo 3DS will count a greatly improved stereoscopic 3D effect, with sharper images and that we will see doubles when moving the console; will have some 20% larger screens than those of the current model; the buttons have been redesigned and colored - matching those of the SNES pad -; there will be two new triggers, ZR and ZL; will have a second stick -of reduced dimensions and that will perform the functions of the Circle pad pro-; we will be able to enjoy clearer photos; and there will be the possibility of transferring images between the console and the PC via Wi-Fi connection.

There will be other significant developments, especially at the hardware level, since New 3DS It will have an expanded RAM memory as well as an improved CPU that will allow the console to handle exclusive functions or run games that it will not support. 3DS: Xenoblade Chronicles 3D It will be the first only for game New 3DS -bitter news for users of 3DS who hoped to be able to play this title on their consoles. Nintendo also announced that the technology NFC It will come standard with the machine and therefore there will be full compatibility with the figures Amiibo -In the case of old consoles, it seems that a peripheral will be launched to be able to use these figures-.

Personalization will come New Nintendo 3DS through interchangeable housings with motifs or characters of the big N -up to 12 different ones are expected-, although this possibility will only be real in the standard model and No. en 3DSXL. A detail that some gamers may not like is that The vital charger will not be included in the console package, an essential peripheral for the console. This has already happened in other laptop launches. Nintendo, who alleges that, since the chargers of 3DS and that many users will simply update the console, they do not see it necessary to include it. As for packs, two have been confirmed: one with Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate and another with The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask -the latter with its reserves exhausted in record time, but it is to be hoped that pre-purchases will reopen again-.

As an update 3DS, the next New Nintendo 3DS It is a full-blown update to the console. However, there may be a risk of fragmentation of the market of users of 3DS, when programs are launched that only run on the new machine, which although Nintendo has declared that there will be few, we will see if his words are reliable with the facts of the future, especially if those titles are of the caliber and importance of Xenoblade Chronicles 3D, which would undoubtedly push many users of 3DS to make the leap to New. Will this model replace the current one? It wouldn't be the first time Nintendo silently withdraws from the market versions of its consoles that it is no longer interested in placing on the shelves, occupying a place that can be filled by more modern, reinvented models that extend the life cycle of the product and are more profitable.
