The New Nintendo 3DS (Newニンテンドー3DS, Nyū Nintendō Surī Dī Esu^?) is a handheld game console developed by Nintendo in Japan. It is the fourth system in the Nintendo 3DS family of handheld consoles, following the original Nintendo 3DS, the Nintendo 3DS XL, and the Nintendo 2DS. The system was released in Japan on October 11, 2014, in Australia and New Zealand on November 21, 2014, on January 6, 2015 in Europe in a special Club Nintendo-exclusive "Ambassador Edition", and at retail in Europe on February 13, 2015. In North America, the New Nintendo 3DS XL was released on February 13, 2015, while the standard-sized New Nintendo 3DS bundled with Animal Crossing: Happy Home Designer game was released on September 25, 2015.

Improvements upon the previous models include upgraded processors and increased RAM, an analog pointing stick (C-Stick), two additional shoulder triggers (ZR and ZL), face detection for optimizing the auto stereoscopic 3D display, an included 4 GB microSD card and built-in NFC, as well as minor design changes (such as colored face buttons, and the availability of face plates for the smaller-size model). Like the original 3DS, the New Nintendo 3DS also has a larger variant, the New Nintendo 3DS XL (New Nintendo 3DS LL (Newニンテンドー3DS LL) in Japan).
