    There does not seem to be much new info other than the AUS/NZ (24/11/2014) new nintendo 3DS release date and how the new 3DS 3D works from different angles.

    The nice early release date for the New 3DS is great. Stunned to see us getting something earlier than most of the rest of the world. I'm still conflicted because of game releases though. I've been holding off on a 3DS purchase (was going to get one real soon, then they announced the new one) and I was considering importing from America simply because sometimes the wait for a game is fucking ridiculous.

    Basically, I want to play Shin Megami Tensei 4 and it's still not out here or in Europe and that is some garbage. Not Nintendo's fault though, to be fair.

    They have probably sold me an AU system with that early release.

    If I had to guess, they probably could make enough models to throw a country with a small population a bone, but not enough to release it in a 'real' region like the US or EU.

    I'm more excited for the new models than I thought I would be. I'll be checking them out at PAX for sure.

    Wait, we're getting the New 3DS this year? That wasn't a typo? That seems weirdly early.

    Since EU and AUS are using the same Region, couldn't anyone from EU just import it from Australia without region problems?

    @balrox_: Assuming they haven't gone with some even more draconian region lock down and cast AU as it's own region, then yes.

    Finally Australia doesn't get the short end of the stick for once.
