-In addition to having a more powerful CPU, the New Nintendo 3DS features an improved 3D effect, using the system's gyroscope and cameras to track the location of the player's eyes to sustain the 3D effect. An NFC sensor is built-in under the bottom screen, allowing compatibility with the [[amiibo]] line of products without needing the stand peripheral. Two additional shoulder buttons (ZL and ZR) have been added, alongside a second smaller circle pad above the {{button|3ds|A}}{{button|3ds|B}}{{button|3ds|X}}{{button|3ds|Y}}, the same features added to a standard Nintendo 3DS or 3DS XL with the Circle Pad Pro. The {{button|3ds|START}} and {{button|3ds|SELECT}} buttons have been moved under the {{button|3ds|A}}{{button|3ds|B}}{{button|3ds|X}}{{button|3ds|Y}} buttons, similar to the Nintendo DS Lite and DSi. In addition, the cartridge and stylus slots have been moved to the bottom of the handheld, and the SD card slot has been replaced by a microSD slot on the back of the system which can be accessed by removing the bottom cover.

 The New Nintendo 3DS models also feature removable back covers on the backs of the top and bottom screens, which can be replaced with custom covers purchased separately. The New Nintendo 3DS also features some changes to the Internet application in that it can now play HTML5 videos. Japanese New Nintendo 3DS models have a web filter pre-activated which can only be removed by paying 30 yen, but the preactivated filter is absent on non-Japanese models.<ref>[http://www.vooks.net/no-internet-browser-filter-in-australian-new-nintendo-3ds-models/ No Internet Browser ‘filter’ in Australian New Nintendo 3DS models].

+The '''New Nintendo 2DS XL''' ('''New Nintendo 2DS LL''' in Japan), announced on 27 April, 2017, is an upcoming revision of the Nintendo 3DS set for release in Japan on June 13, 2017<ref>Nintendo.

As the name implies, it shares the same clamshell design, size and enhanced CPU capabilities as the New Nintendo 3DS XL, but like the Nintendo 2DS, cannot display games in 3D. The New Nintendo 2DS XL also includes the C-stick, ZL and ZR shoulder buttons in the same button layout; however, unlike the New Nintendo 3DS XL, the front-facing camera and microphone are now positioned on the hinge of the New Nintendo 2DS XL. The New Nintendo 2DS XL will be released in two color themes: Black + Turquoise, and White + Orange.
