3ds Xl or quotnewquot 3ds Xl

Since i just saw the new NES Edition 3ds xl and the limited edition super smash bros 3ds xl, i thought about getting one but then i was kind of planning to get the "new" once it came out in the US. Which one would you guys get? Should i wait or should i just get the limited edition 3ds xl? broom broom...

I already have an XL but my brother wants a 3DS for smash bros so I told him to wait for the new 3ds because it is better. As for the special designs on the gaming systems, I would only buy those if you are a collector. Collectors usually never open the box.

If you are excited for SSB, for $100 more you can get a wii u instead or probably black friday's deals will have wii u at the price of an XL.

Waiting for the New 3DS. Doesn't come out till next year, its only coming out in October in japan I believe.

But that means I'll have to play SSB and Pokemon ORAS on the poopy first gen 3DS ):

The NES edition of the 3DS is a joke. It looks like a sticker has been pasted onto the top. The inside isn't all that bad though. The box it comes in is amazing though. Really though, it's entirely up to you. Our taste shouldn't matter. The only problem with the N3DS is that it's supposedly not backwards compatible? Not quite sure.

Do you already have a 3DS?
Are you just looking to get the limited editions because they look cool?
Or is this your first 3DS?

The smash 3DS edition looks cool but I personally think the NES edition looks half assed especially compared to their last [url=http://i1376.photobucket.com/albums/ah12/g0lds1lverbron2e/gbasp_nes_classic_zpsda986a91.jpg]NES edition for the GBA.[/url]
The NES edition box looks cool, but the system itself looks like they slapped a NES controller sticker on the front.

If this is your first 3DS I would personally recomend that you hold off for the new 3DS as the new one will have exclusive games for it that will [b]NOT[/b] [url=http://www.dualshockers.com/2014/08/29/nintendo-confirms-new-3ds-coming-in-2015-will-have-exclusive-games-from-the-3ds/]be backwards compatible with previous 3DS/2DS models such as the Xenoblade Chronicles.[/url]

personally don't like the ssb edition 3ds cus i'm more of the minimalist type. like i don't play animal crossing but that is a rly cute design
NES one is meh considering there's already decal to that

maybe get the new one? idk too much about it
otherwise black friday (if you're in the us) is good cus i got my 3ds xl for like $145

New 3DS has better hardware and a better 3d screen adjuster thingy I believe which makes playing in 3d easier on the eyes.

The Nes 3ds is just an ugly 3ds.

So my choice is New 3ds or a 3ds that is not the NES design.

Get a N3DS

For one, it doesn't even come with the game. On top of that, the design is worse than the NES version.

Seriously, they could have made something that looked much nicer than slapping characters and the logo on the front.[/quote]

I would just get the Pokemon one, but out of the two stated above I would go for the smash bros limited edition one.
