Nintendo New 3DS Black +1 Game

New Nintendo 3DS and New Nintendo 3DS XL offer new customisation options, new speed, new controls, new 3D viewing and a whole new experience!

Better controls

ZL and ZR Buttons have been added next to the L and R Buttons, and a new C Stick can be found near the A, B, X and Y Buttons, expanding your control options.

With these additions, it's easier than ever to surf the internet on your handheld, or take total control in a range of games.

Controls that were previously only available on the separate Circle Pad Pro are integrated into the console - perfect for playing Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate on-the-go!

Surfing on the internet is made easy by using the ZL/ZR Buttons to switch between tabs, and you can zoom into the page by using the C Stick.

Enhanced processing power

Enjoy faster speeds for downloading software

Improved CPU performance also allows for faster loading of applications such as Miiverse.

We're planning to release dedicated software for New Nintendo 3DS and New Nintendo 3DS XL that utilises the improved performance of the new CPU. Some upcoming New Nintendo 3DS software will enable improved graphics and gameplay on New Nintendo 3DS.

NFC function for amiibo-compatible software

Power up your gameplay with amiibo: interactive figures that utilise near-field communication (NFC) to enhance your games in surprising new ways!

New Nintendo 3DS and New Nintendo 3DS XL have an area on the bottom screen with NFC reading and writing functions built-in, so you can enjoy playing with amiibo in compatible software!

More comfortable 3D viewing

The super-stable 3D function allows the system to recognise your face using the inner camera, automatically adjusting the angle - even if you move a lot during gameplay - to give the best possible 3D experience.

Upgraded camera functionality

You can take better pictures under dim lighting conditions.

microSD card data transfer

Using wireless LAN, you can transfer data directly to and from your PC.

If you have a PC that is connected to the same wireless LAN as the New Nintendo 3DS or New Nintendo 3DS XL, you can transfer your pictures and music without removing the microSD card.

Automatic brightness adjustment

Automatic brightness adjustment optimises your settings to offer the best view for your current surroundings. This offers extended battery life compared to the original Nintendo 3DS systems.

Watch videos online

Enjoy videos online using the Internet Browser installed on the console.

Customise your system

Just like on other Nintendo 3DS family systems, on New Nintendo 3DS and New Nintendo 3DS XL you can customise the interior of your system with HOME Menu themes!

There are lots of designs available to purchase from the Theme Shop, including designs featuring Mario, Zelda and more. Some themes even have unique background music and sound effects!

Change cover plates

On New Nintendo 3DS only, you can customise the exterior design of your system with replaceable cover plates!

Cover plates come as sets of front and back plates, in a variety of different designs and fun textures. Swap them out whenever you please, and combine different front and back plates for a totally unique look!
