Xer 670 Posted August 30, 2014 I decided to drop by a visit btw! I was wondering since the new 3ds has been announced and will allow games that the "old" 3ds can't run, can Alpha Sapphire and Monster Hunter 4 work on the old one? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lol those games were announced before the new 3DS even existed heck there were demoed on old 3DS models So yes it works on the old 3DS Edited August 30, 2014 by Annoying D Waluigi Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hero of Winds 2,576 Posted August 30, 2014 All games announced within this year and next will be for the current model. At least outside of Japan, as the new model is releasing in Japan only this year. If you've only bought a regular 3DS or even the 2DS, it's well worth the upgrade if you've never upgraded yet. Consoles can be preordered though, so it's an easy upgrade when you dun have to pay for it all at once. It'll be years before they completely drop the 3DS.

Sorual 607 Posted August 30, 2014 Well the model is optional so you don't have to buy it well will there be games eventually that only work on the new 3ds? or are all 3ds game going to work on the old one and just enhanced with the new one? something to think about. i guess we can only wait and see.
