Nintendo announced its New Nintendo 3DS last August, although at the time, it would only be available in Japan. Just recently, we saw the New 3DS make its way to Europe, and today, Nintendo has announced their latest handheld will be making its way to North America on Februay 13, 2015 for $199.99.

The New Nintendo 3DS XL will come in New Red and New Black and features a small analog nub, called the C-Stick, above its face buttons, two additional shoulder buttons, an upgraded CPU, improved 3D technology, and supports custom covers. The upgraded processor means you should expect a much more responsive feel to the 3DS’ software, as well as upcoming software being made available only on this new piece of hardware. Fortunately, all previously released 3DS games shouldn't have a problem running on the New 3DS.

The New Nintendo 3DS XL will use microSD card instead of using the standard SD card that has been used on the Nintendo 3DS up until now. Those purchasing the New 3DS should know an AC adapter will not be made available in the retail packaging. Instead, Nintendo is hoping you've got a couple of AC adapters lying around in your home in order to charge the New 3DS. Don't have one? Well, that's what eBay is for, I guess.
