Systems also can connect to LAN access points to access the Internet and allow people to enjoy games with others. Supports IEEE 802.11 with enhanced security (WPA/WPA2). Nintendo 3DS hardware is designed so that even when not in use, it can automatically exchange data with other Nintendo 3DS systems or receive data via the Internet while in sleep mode.
* Game controls: Touch screen, embedded microphone, A/B/X/Y face buttons, + Control Pad, L/R buttons, ZL/ZR buttons, Start and Select buttons, "Circle Pad" and "C Stick" that allows 360-degree analog input, one inner camera, two outer cameras, motion sensor and a gyro sensor, and a built in NFC reader/writer which can be used for reading and writing data to various amiibo products.
* Other input controls: 3D Depth Slider to adjust level of 3D effect (can be scaled back or turned off completely depending on the preference of the user), volume slider to change and mute the volume, Home button to call system function, Power button. The stylus is approximately 3 inches.
* Input/Output: A port that accepts Nintendo 3DS, Nintendo DSi, and Nintendo DS game cards, an SD memory card slot, an AC adapter connector, a charging cradle terminal, and a stereo headphone output jack.
* Sound: Stereo speakers positioned to the left and right of the top screen.
* Battery: Lithium ion battery.
* Parental controls: Included.
* Other: Two "Cover Plates" that can be removed and replaced with other ones that have designs on them (sold separately). One goes on the top of the system and can be removed using only the stylus. The other one goes on the bottom of the system and can only be removed using both a screwdriver and the stylus, acting as the battery compartment cover.

==Comparison to the original Nintendo 3DS==
*The New Nintendo 3DS (5.6 inches wide, 3.2 inches long, 0.8 inches tall) is larger than the original [[Nintendo 3DS]] (5.3 inches wide, 2.9 inches long, 0.8 inches tall).
*The New Nintendo 3DS uses face tracking to make 3D consistent even when it is tilted.
*The New Nintendo 3DS loads games and downloads software faster than the original 3DS.
*The New Nintendo 3DS has a built-in second Circle Pad (C-Stick). The original Nintendo 3DS and Nintendo 3DS XL require the Circle Pad Pro and Circle Pad Pro XL, respectively, to achieve the same functionality; these peripherals require their own batteries and occupy the Nintendo 3DS system's [[infrared]] port.
*The battery of the New Nintendo 3DS lasts longer than the battery of the original Nintendo 3DS.

====Patches====
Patches for various Pokémon games have been released on the Nintendo eShop. Additionally, Pokémon Shuffle can update itself when performing the daily check-in, but such updates cannot be downloaded through the Nintendo eShop. If an update is available on Nintendo eShop for a game the player has, the update has not been downloaded yet and there is an attempt to launch that game while connected to the internet, the system will inform the player of the update and offer to go straight to the update in Nintendo eShop to download it.
