RAM is expensive nowadays (lol)

at least u have the new

That's double the amount of RAM then the OG model. It's a good amount if the games are designed FOR the 3DS, it's much more limited if you're trying to port a game (like MC), though. Look at Resident Evil Revelations. That game insane for an OG 3DS game!

Also, while Minecraft was impressive on the New 3DS, lt actually could have run much better if it was completely remade for the New 3DS rather then being a port of Pocket Edition, and could've even had 3D.
