I actually think it should be called the NEWB (Nothing Exciting Worth Buying) 3DS. That second analog button is just terrible.

Just solved everyone's problems ;)

wow wtf I just got the XL about a month ago

Dam it...Not like ill use the internet anyways. I don't think that will raise how many people will buy your new stuff nintendo. Beware, for new pokemon games..I remember when surfing the internet was free..

Wow they couldn't implement another way to block children from the internet that doesnt require credit card info? Nintendo has their head firmly up their ass on this one.
Or maybe its just a ploy to get younger owners to have a payment method on their device, whether its their own money or their parents....

Agreed. Why pay to access the internet?? Whatever happened to parental control?? They have options to block the internet from younger kids..They couldn't just stick to that?

They need their money. Other than that, they are probably later going to release a pokemon game but i would check if they are and buy it the time when they announce the pokemon games. no one would buy the system if they could play it on their 3ds, right?
