GUYS GUESS WHAT NINTENDO ANNOUNCED

[klappa]

nintendo should stop making handhelds and sell their shit on smartphones

oh hell no

As a consumer, you should be glad if this were to happen. Why don't you want it?

[don't let's]

No. It will be a refined version of the new 3ds in less than a year called the new 3ds WiiH8U

Well I mean, this is basically on track with what they did with the ds. More or less.

I can't believe Jojo is so pissed over this.

yes but at least every ds version was essentially the same console. The only exclusive games were for dsi and they were barely games.

because i don't want to have to play the next handheld castlevania by dragging ___ belmont across a touch screen with my index finger

the smartphone is not the smart answer to all handheld gaming, it's a different platform for certain games and many games would not fit said platform well

i guess i shouldnt be, as i do want to upgrade my 3ds, but i bemoan nintendos marketing tactics

plus those dsi exclusives were only available on their eshop so you didn't have the potential to buy a physical game only to realize shit's not gonna work without a new system (or circle pad pro)

Why are the face buttons coloured??? Why does Nintendo have no foresight?  Why does Nintendo like to cause more fragmentation than Google?

no there were some physical games to buy, but pretty much they were AR games to use the cameras

Yeah, except for the dsi (that did have quite a few differences compared to the rest of the ds line) which this sort of revision would be more akin too.

why no colored buttons till now?
Lol, theyre ok i guess

[Hiro]

seriously nintendo should just have held off for like 2 more years and just released a totally new system
this update would just be great and without shitty implications if they just didn't put that c-stick and 2 extra shoulder buttons on it

Oh, I forgot about buttons.  Guess you have a point.

They would benefit a lot from making games for smartphones though. There's probably huge demand, and it's also the fastest growing platform.

eeehhhh... this is a bit more drastic than that. Not hardware wise mind you, software wise

I think the colored face buttons look nice, it's a throwback to the Super Famicom controller

[spoiler]also i think android's fragmentation is getting reasonably under control lately[/spoiler]
