personally, i think this is a pretty good idea. as long as the XL and the 2DS are still being sold, these are gonna be just like the 2DS- an alternative for a specific audience, but in this case, the hardcore audience. the OG XL will probably go down in price, and once the october update hits, all current 3DSes will have the same OS update. i doubt very many games'll support the added circle pad, at most it'll be optional.
