The New Nintendo 3DS and New Nintendo 3DS XL will be available on February 13th.

A price was not announced for Europe but it'll be selling for $199 in the US.

The New Nintendo 3DS will be available in black and white, while you can get the 3DS XL in metallic blue and metallic black.

Both handheld consoles have a new C-button that allow for dual analogue control (acting like a right analogue stick on a gamepad).

They also have more stable 3D due to new head-tracking technology, a better CPU for faster downloads and smoother gameplay, and Amiibo support through NFC (near-field communication).

They can also both play 3DS and DS games, and will also get titles exclusive to them, such as Xenoblade Chronicles.

You'll be able to change the look of your New Nintendo 3DS with custom front and back plates. There will be 12 different plates available at launch.

Charging docks will also be available at launch in black and white.
