Nintendo unveils 'new' 3DS, 3DS XL
The new devices also have revised dimensions, as shown below the break. Unlike the old models they have NFC-tech built in, meaning they can communicate with Amiibo figurines (like the ones coming for Super Smash Bros.) without need of an extra device. Nintendo's also introduced a Micro SD slot underneath the base cover.
Meanwhile, the 3DS cartridge slot has been moved to the front, leaving more space on the back for extra buttons. The handheld's back now features R, ZR, L and ZL buttons, with the power adapter slot moved to the center.
The new models will be available in Japan starting October 11, with the new 3DS priced 16,000 yen (around $154) and the new 3DS XL 18,800 yen ($181). The new 3DS XL will be available in Metallic Blue and Metallic Black, and the new 3DS in White and Black.
