Tech Talk's Guide to the "NEW" 3DS (2015) and you

Hello and Welcome to the "NEW" 3DS (2015) Guide, for the purposes of this guide I will often refer to the NEW 3DS as the 3DS 2015.
This guide should cover the regular sized 3DS 2015 as well as the 3DS 2015 XL/LL. Although this is written from the perspective of my US 3DS 2015 XL.

I try to cover as many guides and tutorials for the "NEW" 3DS (2015).

Introductions
I am sure by now you already read about the 3DS 2015 from various websites on the internet,
read about it in gaming magazines and such so I going to be brief.

Clik here to view.
The "NEW" 3DS (2015) now comes with a C-stick or Circle Pad Pro stick built in.
This C-stick will take over the functions of the Circle Pad Pro in games that support it, like Kid Icarus, Majora's mask and Monster Hunter 4.
There also a a LZ and RZ buttons similar to the Circle Pad Pro

The NEW 3DS (2015) and fricking Chargers:

Nintendo expects you to ether hold on to your old 3DS charger or buy a new Nintendo brand 3DS Charger (sold separately)
So in other words, make sure you buy a extra charger, as when you trade your old 3DS to Gamestop they will not accept the trade without a charger.
Also their (GameStop's) store brand USB charger is cheaper than the official Nintendo charger (at GameStop)
