It looks like the regular New 3DS is left out

Nintendo has announced a July 09, 2025 release date and $199.99 price tag for the New 3DS XL in North America. All of the previously announced features are in, including the extra C-Stick control, speedier boot-up times, enhanced processing power, extra shoulder buttons, slightly longer battery life, a switch to micro-SD memory cards, NFC (for amiibo), and the face-tracking 3D system, to ensure “stable viewing at a wider angle.”

It will launch with both a red and black model, and will still work with every previous 3DS game. Sadly, there is no word of a “smaller” 3DS model — just the XL.
