when do the rumours about the 3ds's full successor start?  will nintendo be forced to reveal it by the japanese media before e3 again?

lmao a couple of years?  that's some wishful thinking there.  the 3ds is dead officially now.

A small step up just seems counter productive, they have a few years before they release another portable console which is ultimately going to be another beefed up 3DS unless some actual bendable displays start making consumer appearances.

The 3DS is fine and dandy, why confuse consumers and waste R&D on a half step up

There's a Nintendo Direct tomorrow morning, so they'll probably officially announce the N3DS release during that.
And maybe the release date of Majora's Mask 3D.

Also, I expect the next main handheld system from Nintendo will release by the end of 2016. Patterns say that there hasn't been a gap of more than two years between hardware releases ever since the original GBA, I don't expect any other revisions for the 3DS line, and Nintendo has recently slowed down on its releases for 3DS.

That's what Nintendo always does. It's exactly the same situation as DSi, or maybe also comparable to all the other revisions like DSiXL, GB Micro, GB Pocket, Game Boy Light

The biggest reason I want this one is the form factor. I feel like regular 3DS is too small and 3DSXL is too big, while the new small model is great. Extra inputs, better 3D, faster speeds, and potential exclusives help it too.

sony releases good designed handheld and only fixes it to make it chaper
nitnedo on the other hand designs junk and then expects you to buy eight revisions until the 'definitive' one comes out, right before the next'gen' comes out

Yeah but Nintendo's handhelds are portable and usually have a huge game catalog that offers games not directly inferior to their console counterpart.

some more color options would sure be nice

nintendo must be determined to not ever release a white 3ds console in north america

[Kalahari Inkantation]

three releases in a span of four years just isn't enough

and we still have the """new""" 2ds to look forward to
