Get A Good Look At The New 3DS With Its First Japanese Commercial
A Japanese commercial for the New 3DS offers a good close-up look at the handheld, and also includes some brief Xenoblade Chronicles gameplay footage.
You can check out the commercial below which shows the system and its second control-stick nub in action with the help of some ethereal ghost hands. You also get to see the handheld using an Amiibo and gameplay for both Monster Hunter and Xenoblade Chronicles.

Our Take
I'm an admitted sucker for new models of Nintendo handhelds. I always say I don't need to upgrade, but always seem to find a reason to at the last second. With this one, the justification is easier than usual thanks to the second control stick and Xenoblade Chronicles – a game I skipped when it released for Wii.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
