The New Nintendo 3DS is finally coming to North America.
The Japanese company announced during its latest Nintendo Direct that the updated version of the portable console is coming to the U.S. on Feb. 13. The new system includes additional shoulder buttons, a second analog nub, and face-tracking for the 3D effect. It costs $200.

It also includes enhanced processing power. Some games, including Xenoblade Chronicles 3D, will only work on the new system. It also includes a near-field communication sensor on the bottom touch screen that will work with the Amiibo figures.
It will come in two colors, New Red and New Black. Oddly, Nintendo said that the system won’t come with a charging cable. Instead, you have to buy one separately or use one from older 3DS consoles.
