So What is the Best Option Financially for Upgrading From an OG 3DS?

[Livingskeletons_v1legacy]

Looking to upgrade my OG 3DS to a New 3DS and not spend that much money.
Should I wait another year for the NX reveal etc. in the event prices go down ( I know its Nintendo).

 

[WeepingAngels]

It appears that you are in no hurry, yes you should wait, there may be a price drop. For all we know the NX will be backward compatible with 3DS games.

I thought rumors suggested otherwise about backwards compatibility.

In any event I can definitely afford to wait.

Well, the rumors were saying that it wouldn't be backward compatible with the Wii U. The rumors also said that it would use carts/cards instead of discs which opens the door for DS/3DS compatibility.

Except multiple Wii U games will also be on the NX.

We really don't know what the hell it is yet. I suppose that does still mean it might be best to wait. Who knows, maybe it will be some sort of Nintendo Ultra system and can play every Nintendo game ever!

Probably not...but again, no one actually knows.

Why would a device made to be able to play Wii U games allow you to play 3DS games?

The new Zelda game will be on Wii U and NX. I think a couple others were announced for both, but I know that one for certain.

The new Zelda game will be on Wii U and NX. I think a couple others were announced for both, but I know that one for certain.

That's not backward compatibility, that's a port. There will be two versions, a Wii U version and an NX version.

So?

You're basing your own speculation on unconfirmed rumors. That the new Zelda is going to be on the NX is one of the few confirmed facts. Maybe it will play 3DS games...maybe it wont. We really don't know, because Nintendo is being painfully tightlipped on the issue.

Yes, I am basing my SPECULATION on RUMORS and I make no secret about that.

That Zelda will be on the NX is not proof of backward compatibility so why do you think it will be backward compatible besides the fact that Zelda will be PORTED to it?

You do remember that Gamecube had ports of several Zelda games from the NES to the N64 and Wii had a port of Twilight Princess. These things are not related to backward compatibility.

Wii had a port of a Zelda game also released on Gamecube. Wii could (originally) play Gamecube games. Sure, I could be wrong, but there is precedent here.

True, I am hoping NX does use carts/cards. Always liked them more than discs.

 

[Dreiko_v1legacy]

NX is confirmed to use cartridges and if you have a 3DS already upgrading isn't that big a deal. If you never had a 3ds then sure but I'd just get more games. Unless you really wanna play a portable inferior xeboblade port.

 

[Saelune]

Why would a device made to be able to play Wii U games allow you to play 3DS games?

If it could, then why would it not? The Gamecube let you play GBA games. And the Wii U plays everything except 3DS games via virtual console.

Chances are it won't. Just because the console uses cartridges does not mean that it'll use the same cartridges as the 3DS. It'll probably play 3DS ports. But there's nothing to suggest that it'll be backwards compatible with ANY console other than speculation.

Rumored*

OT: If you already have a 3DS, then wait till you see what the NX actually is. Unless there's something specific to the New 3DS that you really want. In which case you choose the regular size if you want custom faceplates, and the XL if you want a bigger screen.

Gamecube required a Gameboy adaptor, and the Wii U doesn't let you pop in your Gameboy games.

Not saying it doesn't have the power to play them, but doesn't mean it will, even if it uses cartridges. The NX may use cartridges, but it doesn't guarantee it will play 3DS games, or DS games, or anything but whatever is made for the NX.
