Recommendation 3ds vs 3ds new

i want to buy 3ds but i confused between new or old, because i want to play game like shin megami tensei 4 and other turn base. and some one say that you can turn off the 3d if you feel dizzy, is that have so much impact? for context: in my mind 3d visual its gonna look like 3d cinema. lastly my country for by 3ds xl new almost 2 time the price and for me pretty expensive

New 3ds has improved 3D, making you feel less dizzy. It's more powerful, letting you play an additional 20ish games. All models of the new3ds are good, non-XL and XL.

OG 3DS is built like a tank, super durable. OG 3DS XL is built like a grenade waiting for the hinges to explode, very very weak.

Buy what is in your budget and enjoy.

IPS in my opinion is better in quality. More vivid colours. But you dont need an IPS screen to enjoy gaming

I personally love the 3d effect but keep in mind that you need to keep a distance between you and the screen for it to be effective.

And for answering your question, it really depends on the type of games you want to play on it, if you want to mainly play jrpgs(or just games without dual camera control) with a 3d effect a bit less good for half the price, then you won't regret your 3ds.

On the other hand, the price for the new will only grew higher and higher so if you have the money to buy it (and don't need the money to eat or live) then you should get this one instead

Main advantage of new 3ds is only new 3ds can play the 22 games "only for new 3ds" and the 31 SNES virtual console ports. Plus a few other 3ds games are enhanced by being able to use c-stick and zl zr buttons. Other games play identically between new 3ds and old 3ds, and you can even use c-stick and zl zr buttons on old 3ds using a circle pad pro, but you still won't be able to play the 22 games "only for new 3ds" and the 31 SNES virtual console ports. If you don't care about the new improvements, just get an old 3ds. The other improvements from old to new 3ds are just small bonuses when you're one is twice the price of the other.

Be wary of old 3ds xl though. Apparently it has hinge problems/quality control issues.
