In addition to the mandatory AC adaptor, one will likely pick up a new case and maybe some accessories.

The only "official" case I've seen so far is one by Hori--the hardcase with the NES controller on it. Looks serviceable and quite like the PDP(I believe) blue/grey/black case I got at 3ds launch. My issue with it is it only holds 8 games. Does anybody know of, or seen, any other cases that might be worth a look?

I'm also wondering if Nintendo will release a dock for the New 3DS. I have got to say that I've grown so accustomed to simply sitting the console in there to charge.

If they release a Majora's Mask case I'll buy it. I'd want a case that matches my system. If not hopefully my Persona Q case will do the trick.

Im going to warn you, I wouldnt buy Hori's New 3DS XL case, I imported mine from Japan and its not a complete fit. It can easily come off with just a small push from your finger

I thought that the N3DS and the old 3DS were around the same size? shouldn't they be a pretty close fit?

I actually ended up purchasing a waterfield 3ds XL case. I seen this on Kotaku, and like how it's more for adult's than a kiddy case. Kotaku had great things to say about the materials and the fit so I decided to pay the extra and get one in black. I want to protect my new Majora's Mask 3DS XL, so the little extra money is fine. Now I just need to find where they got the 3 game case holders. Everywhere seems to have the 24 game case holders, but I want the ones that will fit in this case's pocket.

I remember someone mentioning those a while back. How do you like it as far as protection? I ask because I cycle most of the year in the city. I have a Pelican for my ipad. I don't see many cases that reinforce the shape that much. I've also got a lot of 3ds games.

what kind of case are you talking about here? Do you mean like protection case like the clear protectors or Nerf Protectors? If so, I would not recommend Hori, they will come off very easily with a tiny push from your finger. Trust me, if you buy it, you will regret it. I bought it as a temporary case and I changed it as soon as a better one came out.

the pink color is to tell you how the case is fitted,

Now if you are talking about cases, like Hard pouch, then Hori I can recommend.

The type of pouches Hori has are these

The top pouch is a soft pouch and it is a little big, enough to fit in 2 3DS. The bottom one is a hard pouch and can hold up to 3 games.

I'll be able to tell you probably this week. I actually just ordered one the day before this post after I seen the review on Kotaku when searching for good 3ds xl cases.

Alright, I have been using it for a bit now and I gotta say it's really nice. The materials seem tough, theirs a spot for 3 games in the front, but theirs also a zip pocket in the back that you could put more carts in too. It's not that hard to bring around 10 games without bulging in the back if you line them 2 high and 5 across plus the 3 in the front. It does feel very nice and has lots of padding too.

Thanks.

You already have the new 3ds?

Right now I'm between getting a hori(not much protection), the one you have, or buying a smaller pelican and self cutting the foam.
