Better Controls
ZL and ZR buttons have been added next to the L and R buttons, and a new C stick can be found near the A, B, X and Y buttons, expanding your control options.
Controls that were previously only available on the separate circle pad pro are integrated into the console
Surfing on the internet is made easy by using the ZL/ZR buttons to switch between tabs, and you can zoom into the page by using the C stick.
Amiibo compatibility
Power up your gameplay with amiibo, interactive figures that utilise near-field communication (NFC) to enhance your games in surprising new ways!
New Nintendo 3DS and New Nintendo 3DS XL have an area on the bottom screen with NFC reading and writing functions built-in, so you can enjoy playing with amiibo in compatible software.
Enhanced processing power
Improved CPU performance also allows for faster loading of applications such as Miiverse.
Dedicated software will be released for New Nintendo 3DS and New Nintendo 3DS XL that utilises the improved performance of the new CPU. Some upcoming New Nintendo 3DS software will enable improved graphics and gameplay on New Nintendo 3DS.
More comfortable 3D viewing
The super-stable 3D function allows the system to recognise your face using the inner camera, automatically adjusting the angle – even if you move a lot during gameplay – to give the best possible 3D experience.
