I don't know what you're saying, so I'll respond to the 3DS LL instead.
Terrible.
-$200
Nintendo, no.
-90% larger screen than the regular 3DS, and 46% better battery life -- this new model has 6-10 hours of battery life.
Great for that demographic that has poor vision and huge pockets (the elderly), but not really something I'm interested in. Plus, it doesn't fit the Circle Pad Pro. I'll get to that in a moment, but all in all, handhelds shouldn't be getting bigger.
-Otherwise the same as the first version. No, no second analog stick, thankfully.
I assume that was sarcasm. All this waiting for the next model, and instead of being an actual remodel, it's just the grande size. They couldn't even fit in the extra analog stick and shoulder buttons on this gargantuan? There's really no excuse for charging this much extra and still forcing people to buy something that'll make the system even LARGER and more uncomfortable down the line. Bad call Nintendo.
-Will launch in all white, red cover with black inside, or blue cover with black inside. Japan gets silver cover with black inside instead of blue.
Okay?
-In Japan it won't come with an AC adapter, but in the US it will.
...What?
-Better Start/Select/Home buttons (see the below pic)
That's good. Those 3 buttons are really aweful on the current model. They're like microwave buttons.
This should NOT be Nintendo's first "remodel". It doesn't even count as one. They haven't improved the screen (aside from size). They didn't bother putting on the extra buttons and analog stick (the circle pad pro makes up for a poor design decision, but only barely since it makes the system so much bulkier, which a remodel could easily address). The larger size is an interesting alternative and that's the best I can say.
This one's a pass unless you want to dedicate half a purse or a massive jacket pocket or something to this thing and don't mind having to hold something that much heavier.

"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
