    Hi all! I have searched high and low for an answer to this, and I can't seem to find one. Is the Metroid game any better on the New 3DS? Does it look any better? Does it load faster? Does it use the weird little nub for anything?

    Thanks in advance for your input!

    I don't know about performance vs the regular 3ds but you can use the "nub" to scroll the map when paused. That's the only use it has that I know of

    @slag: Hmmm... That doesn't sound particularly useful.

    @buttle826: it isn't. I usually just swiped with my finger because I kept forgetting about the nub was there.

    Again I though I don't know if there is a performance difference. I played on new 3ds and it seemed to run great there. If there is any difference I'm going to guess it's in load times, as there are frequent elevators loading sections between the zones.

    @slag: Thanks for your input! I was thinking this game might be a good excuse to upgrade, but looks like I'll just stick with my old 3DS.
