Main points of the Direct
-NEW 3DS announced
Features:
C stick like the GameCube
ZR & ZL buttons added
Ability to view 3D at an angle
Faster download speeds
Upgraded CPU
Micro SD slot
NFC reader in the touch screen
Famicon colored buttons for the small model
Interchangeable face and back plates for the small model
Games were also announced. The big one for me was the Xenoblade port that I think is exclusive to the NEW 3DS since it has a better CPU.
Final Fantasy Explorers was announced which features a live battle style life Kingdom Hearts instead of a turn based.
Bravely Default for the Sequel was shown.
A new One Piece 2D fighting game was announced.

So excuse me if the format is wonky

What blows my mind about this Direct is the fact that no one saw this coming, there were no rumors or reports about s new SKU which makes me wonder how Smash was able to leak the way it did.
This company holds things to the chest so tight that is crazy when something leaks for them.
Nintendo sure knows how to attack my wallet though, now I'll have to buy a 3rd 3DS just for Xenoblade.

New 3DS’ Internet browser has a pre-installed filter, register credit card ($0.29 fee) to turn it off can be visited.
Users can immediately turn it off for 30 yen ($0.29) by registering a valid credit card.
Nintendo says that the filter will be used to “prevent children from looking at harmful websites” on the New 3DS. The fee, which goes hand in hand with credit card registration, is necessary so that children cannot disable the filter without their parents’ consent.

Exclusive software in development for New Nintendo 3DS
New Nintendo 3DS is already getting one exclusive game that won’t be on the original models – Xenoblade Chronicles. However, that’s just the beginning. Nintendo has confirmed that New Nintendo 3DS will be receiving exclusive and non-exclusive software that takes advantage of the system’s CPU and will have improved graphics and controls.
Exclusive titles will be announced in the future. Note that old games will not be getting a graphical boost.
So some games only the NEW 3ds can play and not the old
I just bought 4 3/2ds last holiday
Now I gotta cash out for 4 again

Nintendo is going hard for that mobile gaming market. Faster downloads, improved 3D, C-Stick button, custom skins, SD slots, Z-buttons, integrated NFC tech..... WOW
They are killing the handheld market right now. I think they should have an exchange program for those who currently have 3DS hardware to make it easier to transition to this new hardware.
Then the MSRP for the Amibo figures is also pretty good at $12.99. Not too cheap, not too expensive... somewhere in the middle.
