Following the company’s announcement of a new Nintendo 3DS, aptly named New Nintendo 3DS, Nintendo also announced that Xenoblade Chronicles will be released on the 3DS. But unfortunately the game will not work on old 3DS handhelds as it will require the New Nintendo 3DS’ stronger processor to run.

Iwata went on to say that there are also a number of other titles currently being developed for the New Nintendo 3DS. This means that some new Nintendo 3DS games will not work on your 3DS/3DSXL/2DS but only the New 3DS, meaning new New Nintendo 3DS exclusive games may be announced soon.
