However, it should be noted that only the new Nintendo 3DS XL will be released in North America, and not its regular-sized counterpart. The updated handheld will feature near-field communication with Amiibos, a faster processing speed, eye-tracking for better 3D usage, as well as the addition of the analog C-Stick.

The new Nintendo 3DS XL will be available in red and black on February 13 in North America.
