Smash fans bought the New 3ds XL/LL (the LL is the Japanese variant of the same console) because of the additional joystick nub thing. There weren't many titles that required the New one and of those the Xenoblade game is the only one worth playing on original hardware. There was also some Nintendo bullshit about locking some of their retro virtual machine games to the New one even though the old 3ds was also completely capable of playing them too.

Of course, modders love the New 3ds, it's more powerful than the old 3ds and can kinda play some PS1 games badly, lol. I just bought a New 3ds LL a couple weeks ago and it's great. It's really easy to mod a 3ds, anybody can do it!

Edit: I really like the device, but the name of the New 3ds is absolutely awful. I still think the WiiU was worse because the name alone definitely hurt their sales.
