Maybe the original controller's case will work? But probably not that great. I hope they release a case for the new one.

Not really, the New 3DS came after the 3DS but still shared the library

How will you refer to it if a followup gets released? Or you sell an old used one? Make sure to not cause potential confusion

Well they did, it's called switch. Otherwise they've could keep the gameboy for all their handheld devices.

Add the year it was made. E.g. Steam Controller (2016) [with or without parentheses], Steam Controller (2025), New 3DS (2015), New 3DS (2033)

Ehhh it’s kinda bad. I love my N3DSXL but even the abbreviation is a bit of a pain to type on a mobile device.

On eBay there is a

Used Japanese New Nintendo 3DS XL LL Pokemon Solgaleo Lunala console

which is pretty funny
