[[File:New Nintendo 3DS.svg|175px|left]]The '''New Nintendo 3DS''' is the fourth model of the [[Nintendo 3DS]] family, produced by [[Nintendo]]. One of the console's primary features is an NFC sensor is built-in under the bottom screen, allowing compatibility with the [[amiibo]] line of products without needing the stand peripheral. It was released in Japan on October 11, 2014, Australia and New Zealand on November 21, 2014, Europe on February 13, 2015, and the United States on September 25, 2015. On January 6, 2015, selected European [[Club Nintendo]] owners were invited to buy New Nintendo 3DS Ambassador Edition, a special pre-release bundle of New Nintendo 3DS, for €199.99, with orders shipped as early as January 7, 2015.<ref>[http://www.nintendolife.com/news/2015/01/new_nintendo_3ds_ambassador_editions_already_in_the_hands_of_lucky_buyers New Nintendo 3DS Ambassador Editions Already In The Hands Of Lucky Buyers].

==Features==
The New Nintendo 3DS<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N1cwg6mUhAg</ref> was announced on August 28, 2014. In addition to having a more powerful CPU, the New Nintendo 3DS features an improved 3D effect, using the system's gyroscope and cameras to track the location of the player's eyes to sustain the 3D effect. An NFC sensor is built-in under the bottom screen, allowing compatibility with the [[amiibo]] line of products without needing the stand peripheral. Two additional shoulder buttons (ZL and ZR) have been added, alongside a second smaller circle pad above the {{button|3ds|A}}{{button|3ds|B}}{{button|3ds|X}}{{button|3ds|Y}}, the same features added to a standard Nintendo 3DS or 3DS XL with the Circle Pad Pro. The {{button|3ds|START}} and {{button|3ds|SELECT}} buttons have been moved under the {{button|3ds|A}}{{button|3ds|B}}{{button|3ds|X}}{{button|3ds|Y}} buttons, similar to the Nintendo DS Lite and DSi. In addition, the cartridge and stylus slots have been moved to the bottom of the handheld, and the SD card slot has been replaced by a microSD slot on the back of the system which can be accessed by removing the bottom cover.
 
The New Nintendo 3DS models also feature removable back covers on the backs of the top and bottom screens, which can be replaced with custom covers purchased separately. The New Nintendo 3DS also features some changes to the Internet application in that it can now play HTML5 videos. Japanese New Nintendo 3DS models have a web filter pre-activated which can only be removed by paying 30 yen, but the preactivated filter is absent on models released outside of Japan.<ref>[http://www.vooks.net/no-internet-browser-filter-in-australian-new-nintendo-3ds-models/ No Internet Browser ‘filter’ in Australian New Nintendo 3DS models]. Vooks. Retrieved January 7, 2015.</ref> Certain titles, such as the port of ''{{wp|Xenoblade Chronicles}}'', are exclusive to the New 3DS systems, and are incompatible with any of the older models.<ref>http://www.nintendo.co.jp/nintendo_direct/20140829/index.html</ref> [[Super Nintendo Entertainment System|SNES]] games including ''[[Super Mario World]]'' have also been released exclusively on the New 3DS's Virtual Console service.
 
===SD Card===
A ''New Nintendo 3DS'' or ''New Nintendo 3DS XL'' comes with a 4 GB Micro SDHC Card. However, any SD or SDHC card can be used and with appropriate adaptors, if necessary and compatible.
 
===Battery Life===
The package includes a charging cradle along with the standard charging cable (which is the same as that of the DSi, and consequently is compatible with the DSi as well). The battery lasts three to five hours (calculated with minimum settings) while playing standard 3DS or New 3DS games; battery life is affected by brightness, 3D level, and wireless connectivity. To fully charge the battery, it takes approximately three and a half hours, so there is an energy saving mode that can be activated to slightly increase the battery life. When playing DS or DSi games, the battery lasts about 5-8 hours due to some hardware being disabled like the pedometer and HOME Menu.
 
===Multitasking===
The New Nintendo 3DS features limited multitasking. Software in use can be suspended with the {{button|3ds|home}} button any time the software is open (except occasionally during online play) in order to change the screen brightness, switch to another software, check the Friend List if friends are online, browse the Internet, post to Miiverse, organize the HOME menu and check notifications from StreetPass and SpotPass.
 
===StreetPass and SpotPass===
StreetPass allows the console to send and receive title data with other consoles within a certain range when it is in sleep mode. Up to twelve titles can have StreetPass activated at once. A notification light on the New 3DS turns green to indicate when StreetPass data has been exchanged. The ''StreetPass Relay'' update allows for StreetPass data to be exchanged near official Nintendo Zone hotspots. One New 3DS can StreetPass the same spot or same other New 3DS once every eight hours. SpotPass also allows data exchange but differs from StreetPass in that it requires an Internet connection to be used. A notification light on the New 3DS turns blue to indicate when such data has been downloaded.
 
===Backwards Compatibility===
Like the 3DS systems, the system is backwards compatible with both DS and DSi games. When in DS mode, the New 3DS simulates a DSi rather than an original DS so any [[Nintendo DSi#DSi Enhanced Games|DSi enhanced games]] will be given additional features for them to utilize. As with the DSi and 3DS, Nintendo DS games that used the original DS's [[Game Boy Advance]] slot cannot make use of extensions, which the New 3DS lacks.
 
===Language Support===
The New 3DS also features enhanced language accessibility. All these languages are included on the European and Australian version of the New 3DS, and the Portuguese language is also included on the American version. ''Mario'' games also began including Dutch, Portuguese and Russian settings. However, these languages are available only in European and Australian versions of the games.
 
===Step Counter===
The '''Step Counter''' works by using the New 3DS's motion sensor to count the player's steps when the New 3DS is closed. Every 100 steps gives the player one Play Coin, which can be used in the AR Games, StreetPass Mii Plaza, and compatible games. Players can receive a maximum of ten Play Coins per day and can hold a maximum of 300 on the New 3DS system. Additionally, every step is logged in the Activity Log.

The resolution, however, is the same. Additionally, it is packaged with a 4 GB Micro SDHC card, and the battery has been optimized to last longer. The handheld was released in Japan on October 11, 2014, in Australia on November 21, 2014, and in Europe and the Americas on February 13, 2015.

The new Nintendo 3DS logo.

The New Nintendo 3DS is the fourth model of the Nintendo 3DS family, produced by Nintendo. One of the console's primary features is an NFC sensor is built-in under the bottom screen, allowing compatibility with the amiibo line of products without needing the stand peripheral. It was released in Japan on October 11, 2014, Australia and New Zealand on November 21, 2014, Europe on February 13, 2015, and the United States on September 25, 2015. On January 6, 2015, selected European Club Nintendo owners were invited to buy New Nintendo 3DS Ambassador Edition, a special pre-release bundle of New Nintendo 3DS, for €199.99, with orders shipped as early as January 7, 2015.[1] The graphical capabilities are likened to that of the Wii U.

Features

The New Nintendo 3DS[2] was announced on August 28, 2014. In addition to having a more powerful CPU, the New Nintendo 3DS features an improved 3D effect, using the system's gyroscope and cameras to track the location of the player's eyes to sustain the 3D effect. An NFC sensor is built-in under the bottom screen, allowing compatibility with the amiibo line of products without needing the stand peripheral. Two additional shoulder buttons (ZL and ZR) have been added, alongside a second smaller circle pad above the A ButtonB ButtonX ButtonY Button, the same features added to a standard Nintendo 3DS or 3DS XL with the Circle Pad Pro. The Start Button and Select Button buttons have been moved under the A ButtonB ButtonX ButtonY Button buttons, similar to the Nintendo DS Lite and DSi. In addition, the cartridge and stylus slots have been moved to the bottom of the handheld, and the SD card slot has been replaced by a microSD slot on the back of the system which can be accessed by removing the bottom cover.

The New Nintendo 3DS models also feature removable back covers on the backs of the top and bottom screens, which can be replaced with custom covers purchased separately. The New Nintendo 3DS also features some changes to the Internet application in that it can now play HTML5 videos. Japanese New Nintendo 3DS models have a web filter pre-activated which can only be removed by paying 30 yen, but the preactivated filter is absent on models released outside of Japan.[3] Certain titles, such as the port of Xenoblade Chronicles, are exclusive to the New 3DS systems, and are incompatible with any of the older models.[4] SNES games including Super Mario World have also been released exclusively on the New 3DS's Virtual Console service.

SD Card

A New Nintendo 3DS or New Nintendo 3DS XL comes with a 4 GB Micro SDHC Card. However, any SD or SDHC card can be used and with appropriate adaptors, if necessary and compatible.

Battery Life

The package includes a charging cradle along with the standard charging cable (which is the same as that of the DSi, and consequently is compatible with the DSi as well). The battery lasts three to five hours (calculated with minimum settings) while playing standard 3DS or New 3DS games; battery life is affected by brightness, 3D level, and wireless connectivity. To fully charge the battery, it takes approximately three and a half hours, so there is an energy saving mode that can be activated to slightly increase the battery life. When playing DS or DSi games, the battery lasts about 5-8 hours due to some hardware being disabled like the pedometer and HOME Menu.

Multitasking

The New Nintendo 3DS features limited multitasking. Software in use can be suspended with the HOME Button button any time the software is open (except occasionally during online play) in order to change the screen brightness, switch to another software, check the Friend List if friends are online, browse the Internet, post to Miiverse, organize the HOME menu and check notifications from StreetPass and SpotPass.

StreetPass and SpotPass

StreetPass allows the console to send and receive title data with other consoles within a certain range when it is in sleep mode. Up to twelve titles can have StreetPass activated at once. A notification light on the New 3DS turns green to indicate when StreetPass data has been exchanged. The StreetPass Relay update allows for StreetPass data to be exchanged near official Nintendo Zone hotspots. One New 3DS can StreetPass the same spot or same other New 3DS once every eight hours. SpotPass also allows data exchange but differs from StreetPass in that it requires an Internet connection to be used. A notification light on the New 3DS turns blue to indicate when such data has been downloaded.

Backwards Compatibility

Like the 3DS systems, the system is backwards compatible with both DS and DSi games. When in DS mode, the New 3DS simulates a DSi rather than an original DS so any DSi enhanced games will be given additional features for them to utilize. As with the DSi and 3DS, Nintendo DS games that used the original DS's Game Boy Advance slot cannot make use of extensions, which the New 3DS lacks.

Language Support

The New 3DS also features enhanced language accessibility. All these languages are included on the European and Australian version of the New 3DS, and the Portuguese language is also included on the American version. Mario games also began including Dutch, Portuguese and Russian settings. However, these languages are available only in European and Australian versions of the games.

Step Counter

The Step Counter works by using the New 3DS's motion sensor to count the player's steps when the New 3DS is closed. Every 100 steps gives the player one Play Coin, which can be used in the AR Games, StreetPass Mii Plaza, and compatible games. Players can receive a maximum of ten Play Coins per day and can hold a maximum of 300 on the New 3DS system. Additionally, every step is logged in the Activity Log.
