The New Nintendo 3DS and is the newest hardware revision of Nintendo’s 3DS handheld gaming platform. The New 3DS integrates a number of new features and innovations, most notably a new analog control stick, more computing power, two new buttons, Amiibo integration, and changeable cover plates.

The New 3DS is available in both standard-sized and XL form factors. Both designs feature revised controls and faster processing.

The right analog knob is located above the right-hand face buttons. Because of its placement it appears that users will be expected to rely on shoulder buttons for quick input when utilizing the second stick.

In addition to the new controller, the new 3DS incorporates third and fourth back trigger buttons, the ZR and ZL buttons, conveniently located for use with the new analog stick.

Nintendo also promises a wider 3D viewing angle than previous DS models, resulting in less image blurring when viewed from ths side.

The computing power of the 3DS has also been expanded by new internal hardware.

The New 3DS integrates NFC connectivity into the bottom touchscreen, allowing Nintendo’s Amiibo figurines to be placed directly on the display to interact with the software. Amiibo toys are already slated for integration with a variety of Nintendo game products, including Super Smash Brothers.
