When the New 3DS was launching in Japan, we found out that the system couldn’t be registered on Club Nintendo. With the Australian release on the horizon, we’re now learning that the situation is the same in this region as well. The way things are going, the situation will probably end up being the same in North America and Europe!

This information comes from Nintendo president Satoru Iwata…

From this summer, we commenced public transport e-money payments, starting with JR East’s “Suica,” on Wii U.

By the introduction of this function, the barrier to make small payments has been lowered, and more consumers who had never purchased products digitally before are trying them. In other words, with the increase in the number of Wii U hardware, which has cleared the barrier for digital purchases, introduction of the Suica payment function has played a role in “lowering the payment barrier,” which is an important issue in the digital business.
In addition, one clear example of the increase in the usage rate for payments under 500 yen is the 24-hour karaoke ticket.

We are considering making Suica payments available also on New Nintendo 3DS. If this is made possible, since there is an abundance of under-500-yen digital content for Nintendo 3DS, we are expecting new possibilities and opportunities.

This information comes from Nintendo president Satoru Iwata…

Here I would like to tell you about the current situation of New Nintendo 3DS and New Nintendo 3DS XL (known as New Nintendo 3DS LL in Japan), launched on October 11 in Japan in advance of markets overseas.

The sell-through results of the two models combined was 234 thousand units, which is the largest first-week sales of remodeled devices we have ever released. New Nintendo 3DS XL has been more popular and was out of stock at many stores. We are sorry about the shortage of supply.

As you can see from the graph, the sales momentum was maintained in the second week

And third week. We feel that the new “super-stable 3D” function, new “C” stick, and accelerated CPU of the new models have been well-received by our consumers.
With the new models in addition to the consecutive release of games which could be double-million sellers, we are confident that Nintendo 3DS will establish a presence in the market in the year-end sales season in Japan.

A Japanese gamer who has experience in repairing iPhones recently decided to disassemble the New 3DS. You can view a few photos above.

Since there are metal cases on the main circuit, the main memory can’t be seen. Therefore rumors about the memory can’t be confirmed at this time. One thing that can be seen, however, is “SAMSUNG KLM4G1YEQC-B301”. That’s the same model number as chips used in smartphones. It’s more than possible then that 4GB eMMC NAND flash memory is included. To compare, the original 3DS features Toshiba’s 2GB NAND memory.
