Here's what a New Nintendo 3DS-exclusive game case looks like
Xenoblade Chronicles

Nintendo has revealed that you'll be able to identify whether a 3DS game is exclusive to the New Nintendo 3DS by a band along the top of its case.

The band quite clearly states "Only for New Nintendo 3DS" so you'll know to not purchase that game if you have an older model of 3DS.

This was revealed today with the first image of the case that Xenoblade Chronicles 3D will ship in. As you can see in that image above, the European case is entirely black (3DS game cases are usually white) and there is a black band along the top.

Additionally, Nintendo of Japan's YouTube account uploaded a new video of Xenoblade Chronicles 3D yesterday. It shows how the game looks running on the New Nintendo 3DS. You can watch it below.
