===New Nintendo 3DS (XL)===
In late 2014/early 2015, the 3DS received a hardware upgrade in the form of the "New Nintendo 3DS", an iterative update comparable to the Nintendo DSi and DSi XL. Improvements on the original model include slightly larger screens, faster quad-core CPU, doubled RAM, and extra buttons to match the Circle Pad Pro accessory (a second analog nub and ZL/ZR buttons). Other new features include built-in amiibo support on the touch screen and an eye-tracking 3D feature that allows the console to adjust stereoscopic output based on the user's position. Much like the 2DS, the New 3DS and New 3DS XL lacks a wireless switch and can only be toggled in the HOME Menu. Several games can only be played on the New 3DS due to its upgraded hardware, although this does not include any ''Sonic'' games.

Like the original console, the New 3DS is also produced in regular and XL variants. The regular model features interchangeable face plates similar to the Game Boy Micro, and received a limited release in NTSC regions.
