In the Japan-exclusive [[Nintendo Direct|Nintendo 3DS Direct]] on August 29, 2014, the fourth and fifth models (the '''New Nintendo 3DS''' and '''New Nintendo 3DS XL''') were announced, released in Japan on October 11, 2014 and in Australia on November 21, 2014, with Europe and North American getting the handhelds on February 13, 2015. However, in North America, only the New Nintendo 3DS XL has been released. Both models have [[ZL]] and [[ZR]] buttons, a [[C-Stick]], more powerful hardware, different positioning of some buttons, automatic brightness depending on surrounding light levels, and 3D visuals that can be seen from a wider range of angles. Custom faceplates are available for the New Nintendo 3DS, but not the XL version. The New 3DS also has built-in [[amiibo]] compatibility, whereas the original 3DS models require an adapter to interact with the figurines. A subsequent revision, the '''New Nintendo 2DS XL''', would be released in 2017 worldwide, featuring a slimmer, streamlined design without the 3D visuals of previous variants. | In the Japan-exclusive [[Nintendo Direct|Nintendo 3DS Direct]] on August 29, 2014, the fourth and fifth models (the '''New Nintendo 3DS''' and '''New Nintendo 3DS XL''') were announced, released in Japan on October 11, 2014 and in Australia on November 21, 2014, with Europe and North American getting the handhelds on February 13, 2015.
