In addition to having a more powerful CPU, the New Nintendo 3DS features an improved 3D effect, using the system's gyroscope and cameras to track the location of the player's eyes to sustain the 3D effect. An NFC sensor is built-in under the bottom screen, allowing compatibility with the [[amiibo]] line of products without needing the stand peripheral. Two additional shoulder buttons ({{button|3ds|ZL}} and {{button|3ds|ZR}}) have been added, alongside the {{button|3ds|cstick}}-Stick, a second smaller Circle Pad positioned above the {{button|3ds|A}}{{button|3ds|B}}{{button|3ds|X}}{{button|3ds|Y}}, which shares a similar function with the Circle Pad Pro when added to the original Nintendo 3DS or 3DS XL. These controls are used in games such as ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS]]'', ''[[Luigi's Mansion (Nintendo 3DS)|Luigi's Mansion]]'' and ''[[Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker (Nintendo Switch / Nintendo 3DS)|Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker]]''. The {{button|3ds|START}} and {{button|3ds|SELECT}} buttons have been moved under the {{button|3ds|A}}{{button|3ds|B}}{{button|3ds|X}}{{button|3ds|Y}} buttons, similar to the [[Nintendo DS#Nintendo DS Lite|DS Lite]] and DSi. In addition, the cartridge and stylus slots have been moved to the bottom of the handheld, and the SD card slot has been replaced by a microSD slot on the back of the system which can be accessed by removing the bottom cover where the battery is located.
