Xenoblade Chronicles 3DS

The redesign of the Nintendo handheld consoles is something that comes from the days of Game Boy, and nobody is surprised, however is very different a major change in the hardware and the New Nintendo 3DS, far beyond a size or different color. But what has preoccupied the community is the emergence of exclusive games that could create a gap between the holders of the "New" and the "Old".

This summer Nintendo has surprised us with a new model of Nintendo 3DS, dubbed "New Nintendo 3DS" (easier impossible), which is a gap between current holders of the notebook and those who purchase new when it goes on sale .

From my perspective Nintendo has ventured into dangerous territory, it is true that it is not the first time a console adds features, see your DSi shop online games. But in the case of the DSi everyone knew that was not going to launch a new 'Mario' and 'Zelda' in this new game channel (at least the main series). It was aimed at small playable works and was an experiment to what is now the eShop.

New Nintendo 3DS: support in the form of exclusive?

The first exclusive game announced for New Nintendo 3DS is nothing less than a port of 'Xenoblade Chronicles' Wii, a game of it more palatable for holders of laptop, especially if you could not enjoy it in the desktop. I say it is dangerous ground because it is also a double-edged sword: on one side if many exclusive advertise, or resonated as could join, holders of old Nintendo 3DS could put the outcry; and if on the contrary, the exclusive carrier for the "New" is low, with the same right could complain those who have paid the money in the new consoles ...

The use of NFC technology will be one of the great innovations
Please everyone dividing the 3DS seems kind of complicated, especially because it seems clear that Nintendo can not resist throwing some of its key franchises leveraging the power of the new Nintendo 3DS. And all this in a console that satisfaction levels and favoritism are currently high, which makes you wonder if that really was needed updating and adding potential hardware (side and stick C buttons). Nintendo has always created redesigns for their laptops, that have never cheated on anyone, but one thing to make a smaller console, with larger screens or with bright colors, and quite another to divide the life of a console with two lines pitches.

Nintendo and reviews on laptops

We could put on the table for Game Boy Color, which meant the abandonment of the developments of the Game Classic Boy to focus on a new, more powerful and colored laptop, but keep in mind that had been nine years since the launch of the first Game Boy, and played a change. By contrast, New Nintendo 3DS was announced just three years after the launch of Nintendo 3DS, a not reasonable time to start talking about a system change or diversification software. (Although yet to see the release date in the West of this console, so far confirmed for Japan in 2015).

All these opinions pivot between the following questions do you really launch Nintendo games A unique triple for New ?, will only ports ?, if New Nintendo 3DS triumphs lose steam developments for 3DS "normal" ?. Could perfectly understand the inclusion of a second stick, as in previous models continue to have that possibility thanks to the circle pad pro, would continue to have the option of upgrading the console or simply add an add-on.

A gap between generations difficult to deal

All this does not mean that the idea of the "New" I do not like, on the contrary, who could resist a console that could accommodate many of the gems we saw on Wii with added 3D ?, well with a second stick integrated 3D interchangeable covers and more advanced, NFC technology amiibo ... sounds great.

If Nintendo has developed a more powerful console exclusive games will be to use it and start new developments.
The problem is that, first, the handheld Nintendo left with an open gap, the consoles we always provide backward compatibility with previous generation, providing support for an impressive number of years ... this could be truncated if not handled properly Nintendo the situation. The technological world is so not to, you know to buy what will soon be the new model, but with some game consoles continuity demand. So far Nintendo has just announced the port of 'Xenoblade' but has devised a more powerful console exclusive games will be to use and start new developments.

The regional block will remain in the new consoles
If the great sagas of Nintendo required to change a console with only three years in the market could be a shot that backfires for Nintendo, losing prestige as a brand of portable consoles, hopefully this is not so and that users Nintendo 3DS can enjoy their consoles with new butt for years.
