"New 3DS" is the latest 3DS console from Nintendo, 3DS and XL models of this will be available. It will launch on October 11th in Japan, 2015 for EUR/USA. It was announced on 29 of August 2014. It will feature "New 3DS"-specific titles that are not playable on older 3DS models, which may imply new encryption keys(though blocking title-launch of those titles on old hw could be done other ways too as well).

~~According~~ to ~~official sources~~, the ~~following changes have been made~~ hardware~~-wise:~~

“New 3DS” refers to the updated lineup of Nintendo 3DS systems, released between 2014 and 2017. The “New 3DS” line includes the New Nintendo 3DS, New Nintendo 3DS XL, and New Nintendo 2DS XL. The systems feature improved internal hardware, an additional analog “nub” (called the “C-Stick”), ZL and ZR buttons, NFC support for amiibo compatibility, a MicroSD card slot (replacing the previous versions’ standard-size SD slot), and on models other than the New 2DS XL, the ability to use the internal camera to track the user’s head to adjust the systems’ stereoscopic 3D effect. A number of 3DS games utilized the improved hardware while retaining compatibility with older systems, but a few titles have been released that are exclusive to the new systems.

* Faster CPU

* Better 3D screen technology (~~including head~~-~~tracking via camera for the stereoscopy~~)

* IR LED next to the the camera above the top-screen, ~~used with the above head-tracking~~ for ~~better camera-video brightness.~~

* MicroSD-slot ~~instead of normal~~-~~sized~~ SD-slot, ~~moved under~~ the ~~bottom cover(which covers~~ the ~~battery as well)~~

* Easily removable plates for 3DS ~~bottom(same cover mentioned above) / back of top-screen (for~~ the ~~regular New 3DS at least)~~

* NFC support

* Two circle-pads instead of one (new one is a ~~small pad)~~

* New buttons ZR and ZL

* Automatic screen brightness adjustment "depending on the ~~surroundings"~~

Based on disassembly of certain sysmodules for code added/changed with in the [[8.0.0-18]] update, it appears that the "New 3DS" has the following changes:

Based on disassembly of certain sysmodules for code added/changed with in the [[8.0.0-18]] update, it appears that the "New 3DS" has the following internal hardware changes:

* ~~They extended~~ FCRAM from 128MB to 256MB.

* Extended FCRAM from 128MB to 256MB.
