Yes, the plan is to move away from the old design. Components are becoming obsolete, I want to move to a smaller, cheaper, internal design on the old 3DS (matching the XL board design). It looks like I'll be doing one more small production run of the old boards (til the rest of the parts are used up, I have some cases & cables left over) but those won't last long.

Yes I know, everyone is anxious about pokemon. I'm sorry if I haven't gotten back to you, I get tired of responding to dozens of "When will you have (XYZ)????" every day. I try to keep up with normal support emails but these tend to get ignored. Sorry I haven't been involved in the forum for a long time. To be honest, I've been a little afraid, after being gone so long I figured it'd be in chaos by now.

XL and n3DSXL boards are being worked on (XL will probably be available first but n3DS should come soon after). I'm not going to try to guess a release date yet, but obviously it's in my best interest to have something done quickly with pokemon and end of the year coming up. I've focused on keeping up with orders, I've mostly been able to keep a 1-2 day turnaround time for months now but that doesn't leave me much time to work on new things. Now that orders have stopped I will be working on this full time now.

I need to go now, I'll be back tomorrow to follow up.
Thanks for the update. Many of us were just confused about what your plans for future boards were.

As for being afraid to get involved in these forums, don't be. Most of us were just wanted to hear an update from you, regardless of whether it was good or bad news.

I'm definitely looking forward to getting a New 3DS XL board in the future. I have enjoyed using your old 3DS board in the past and I am sure that your future boards are going to be amazing, especially since it sounds like there will be a lot less bulk on the outside of a modded 3DS in the future.

Thanks for letting us know Loopy. I especially have been lurking on the forums anticipating an announcement for your N3DS XL boards production. I suspect Merki will be restocked aswell when more come in and if we want to pay for a package with a N3DS XL?

I understand the controller port mods were not cost efficient, however would it be brought back for us to request the mod rather then the board itself (I suspect it would cost more to implement)?

Is there be a way to get notice when your new stock comes in?

Either way we appreciate you taking the time to let us know and we highly anticipate your new stock when it's ready. Thank you. :)

Thanks for the update! As much as I would rather have a New 3DS XL capture board ready before old 3DS XL capture boards (since both old 3DS and old 3DS XL are no longer being sold at retail due to the New 3DS XL [and few New 3DS regular] systems, I am glad to see that you are truly alive (even though you already told me) and will be able to focus more on perfecting the old XL and New XL capture boards!

Thank you so much for the update! If I am interpreting your update correctly, you will still be making boards for the original 3DS, right? (just with a more efficient design?) I would still like to order an original 3DS modded at some point.

Hello. I have been waiting for years for a new 3DS (small size) capture board, but I suppose you won't be getting to those any time in the next 2 years? :(
