nintendo 3DS

New Nintendo 3DS and New Nintendo 3DS XL come full of innovations in several aspects: options of personalization, speed, handling and visualization of 3D. In short: a gaming experience never seen!

Better control system
Lever C
Now you have more options to manage the console: the buttons ZL and ZR, next to the L and R, as well as the new lever C, have been added next to the buttons A, B, X and Y.

Thanks to these new features, it is easier than ever to surf the internet on your portable console or control a whole series of games to the maximum.

ZR button ZL button
The control system that previously was only possible thanks to a separate accessory like the sliding button Pro is now integrated into the console. Ideal for playing Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate anywhere!
Internet browsing has been simplified with the addition of the ZL / ZR buttons, used to change the tab, while the C lever allows you to enlarge the page.
Improved processing power


Enjoy faster speeds when downloading programs *

Improved performance of the main processor (CPU) also allows faster loading of applications such as Miiverse *.

Our plans include the launch of exclusive programs for New Nintendo 3DS and New Nintendo 3DS XL, which take advantage of the best performance of the new CPU. Some of the upcoming programs for New Nintendo 3DS will bring improvements in graphics and gameplay.

NFC function for amiibo compatible programs
Exponentially enhances game dynamics with amiibo: interactive figures that take advantage of the short-range communication (NFC) system to make your games win whole in surprisingly surprising ways.

New Nintendo 3DS and New Nintendo 3DS XL have an area on the lower screen with built-in NFC writing and reading functions, so you can play with amiibo in compatible programs.

More comfortable 3D visualization

The super-stable 3D function allows the console to recognize the position of your face using the inner camera, which automatically adjusts the angle (even if you move a lot during the game) to give you the best possible three-dimensional experience.

Warning: The three-dimensional effect may vary depending on the user. It may also cause potential vision damage for children 6 years of age or younger. Restricts the 3D function to 2D mode through the parental control function.
