I skipped the 3DS when it launched, due to the price. Once the XL came out and my desire for Mario Kart 7 came to a boil, I picked up an XL. Since then, it's been a fun ride. Mostly with 3DS games, but often also with Gameboy and NES VC titles. I've also played a few select games from my DS library on it.
I'm not a Smash Bros person, so the release of Smash Bros on the 3DS and the arrival of the New 3DS XL, really didn't compel me to trade up to a New 3DS XL.
Then... Nintendo released the SNES VC for New 3DS models only. Despite owning a real SNES and all the games I'm interested for it and can play it any time I want, the desire for portable SNES hits me in the GBA-era nostalgia. But is portable SNES worth the expense of a New 3DS XL at its current price? Not to me.
So if Nintendo was to reduce the price on the New 3DS XL.... I could see myself pulling the trigger on that.

Super Smash Bros on the 3DS isn't all that great anyway. As good as the circle pad is for analog input, it's no joystick, and SSB really needs a joystick. Do you have an android phone? RetroArch supports Android and will emulate most older systems, SNES included. It takes a bit of setup, but it can make for a good portable solution, especially with a bluetooth gamepad.
