My outrage over Nintendo's 'New 3DS' console

I totally agree it's a backhanded jab to all current 3DS owners and what's worse the past year for the 3DS has been nearly as bad as it has been for the Wii U in-terms of new game releases although third party support is much better, it's almost been abandoned by Nintendo... So the 3DS only had two good years of first party support before Nintendo stepped away and started preparing for their next handheld system.

I'm not took mad yet, I'll see where this goes first before I can judge

Hope Nintendo keep support standard 3DS.

Besides Majora's Mask 3D and Project S.T.E.A.M. there doesn't appear to be any first party support for the 3DS which is sad since one of those games is just a remaster and not a completely new game.

I'm sure that Nintendo has a number of fun 3DS game projects in the works. They're probably just waiting for the next Nintendo Direct, which should be due any time now.

But what happens if most of the newly announced titles are New 3DS exclusive? Either way we should know very soon whether or not the New 3DS is an enhanced system like the DSi was for the DS or a full-blown replacement for the original 3DS systems.

I'm sure Nintendo stated that support for the original 3DS wouldn't be entirely dropped, and that there would be plenty of games which can be played on traditional models. Given that Xenoblade Chronicles 3D, an enhanced remake of a Wii title, is currently the only game revealed to be New 3DS-exclusive, I would hope that (nearly) all first-party New 3DS exclusives would be remakes. Frankly, I'm a little surprised that Majora 3D is only New 3DS-enhanced, especially given that the original needed the Expansion Pak to run on the N64.

If I can avoid getting a New 3DS until a must-have title comes along, then I'm more than happy to have fun with my 2DS. Until Nintendo completely drops first-party support for the classic 3DS, I'll give them the benefit of the doubt.
