I've been meaning to get into Monster Hunter, but I hear it's really hard for newer players to learn it. You think it's worth me getting MH4 and just winging it, or nah?
The new one has better graphics and they aren't shoving 3D in your face. All of my games on the 3DS lag, so being able to play the games smoothly is a big draw for me.

Sure it's worth it. The newer MH games are exceptionally easier than their older counterparts. If you're willing I'd even play with ya and show/teach you everything you need to know.
Arty, dude. In MH the need to adjust your camera view on the fly while still moving is a necessity. Prior to the new DS the only way to do that was to either hold your hand in some weird bird-talon form, or take your finger off the stick to get to the d-pad. Now with two sticks, you can continue to move and adjust your view. For any Monster Hunter fan, that alone makes the price increase worth it.
Just buy the circle pad pro, its infinitely cheaper.
It just feels way too soon for Nintendo to be throwing out a new handheld, especially with the way they've done it. Instead of making something new, they've just slapped the word "new" to the name because it's the same thing right? They're going into Apple iphone territory and I'm not sure I like it.
I'd love to, Kris! (as soon as I get the money for both of them)
That's a fair argument, Arty. I really can't find a way to go against it, but I'll probably still get the system since they're already planning for exclusives.

It's cheaper because you get what you pay for. I got it less than a month ago with one of the other MH games for the 3DS. In that time, it's sensitivity has decreased and I'm repeatedly disconnected it. There's also the fact that it goes haywire from time to time, and thinks I'm adjusting it when I'm not. It's no fun when your camera suddenly looks down and starts spinning out of control just when Tigrex enters rage.
For me, the price hike for the newer 3DS model is worth it.
Edit: I'm not saying people should buy the newer model simply because it's "new". That's an awful idea.
With how soon this is happening I'd like some kind of "Trade in your old 3DS for a huge discount on the new 3DS because it's basically the same thing anyway" but I know they're not gonna do that because money.
As it is, I don't like it. I don't want to spend money for what I already have, I do not feel like the 3DS's life cycle has ended naturally. This isn't going from 1 to 2, it feels like going from 1 to 1.3 but I'm spending the same amount of money as I spent to get from 1 to 2 and it's not enough for me. Making games New 3DS exclusive just adds insult to injury. If the exclusives weren't a thing, I'd honestly be ok with it because at that point it's an option and options are always nice.
You buy it, that's your prerogative. I'll just sit here and hope that this doesn't tell Nintendo that this is ok to do.

I was entertaining the idea of getting a new 3DS at first, but not so much anymore. I just don't see the reason to. While I may miss out on a few exclusives most developers are going to continue developing games that run on both the old and new 3DS systems. Focusing on just that new 3DS means losing out on a ton of revenue.
Also, it's important to note that North America will not be getting the new 3DS. We're only getting the new 3DS XL. I think that's also going to be a huge turnoff when it comes to possibly upgrading.

I'm still on the fence about getting a 3DS I already have a Vita but I might still get it for the Zelda game, though I have never really been a Pokemon fan. Not that I hate it I just never played it >.<
Kris is on that try hard life, I just used the on screen d-pad. Plus there's the lock on, and L targeting that helps. Not as good as a stick don't get me wrong, but it helps.
