"New 3DS" is the latest 3DS console from Nintendo due for release in 2015. It was announced on 29 of August 2014. It will feature 3DSLL-specific titles that are not playable on older 3DS models, which probably implies new encryption keys.

According to official sources, the following changes have been made hardware-wise:

  • Faster CPU
  • Better 3D screen technology
  • MicroSD-slot instead of normal-sized SD-slot
  • NFC support
  • Two circle-pads instead of one
  • New buttons ZR and ZL

Based on disassembly of certain sysmodules in the 8.x update, it appears that the 3DSLL has the following changes:

  • They extended FCRAM from 128MB to 256MB.
  • They added another VRAM (?) of 4MB.
