North America is currently the only major region where the standard, smaller New 3DS model hasn’t been released. Perhaps this will change at some point in the future, however.

Speaking with Kotaku, Nintendo of America president Reggie Fils-Aime teased the regular New 3DS for North America, and explained why it didn’t originally launch in the territory.

He said:

“So we’ve got nothing to announce here. We’ve certainly taken note of all of the readers and consumers that expressed desire for the base model.”

“We analyzed the results in Japan and saw the lion’s share of the volume was on the XL model, and that’s with no 2DS existing in the Japanese market. And so as we thought about what’s the best line-up for us we thought the new XL and 2DS would be our best line-up. Not going to make any promises but, you know, I would suggest to your readers that they stay tuned and maybe some special SKUs might show up.”

Reggie also commented on games that can only be played on New 3DS systems. He reveals that there are digital games in the works that are exclusive to the portable.

GungHo Online Entertainment had one goal in mind when making Puzzle & Dragons: Super Mario Bros. Edition: to reach a broader audience.

CEO Kazuki Morishita told GamesBeat:

Back in 2011, we were coming up with a new concept for Puzzle & Dragons. I came to the conclusion that our target audience for the 3DS version—I wanted it to be kids, kids who don’t have smartphones. I’ve always wanted to release the game for 3DS and reach more of that audience. The target audience for PZD Mario is definitely much younger than the smartphone crowd. Going back to your question, Gung Ho’s goal with that title is to reach out to a broader audience with the core gameplay of the series.

Puzzle & Dragons: Super Mario Bros. Edition launched for 3DS in May. It came packaged with GungHo’s first Puzzle & Dragons effort for the handheld, Puzzle & Dragons Z.

SEGA has included a couple of new modes in 3D Gunstar Heroes. There’s Full Spec mode, which provides players with any of the game’s fourteen weapons. 3D Gunstar Heroes also has the Mega Life mode that doubles the amount of lives players would usually have.

Aside from the new modes, 3D Gunstar Heroes contains elements from other SEGA 3D Classics. That means local multiplayer, the ability to choose between the Japanese or American version of the game, a tube TV filter that can be toggled on or off, and stereoscopic 3D.
