-the controller actually will feature a six-inch screen
- in addition to a controller it will function as its own portable console

The 2nd one sounds AWESOME, but really makes the 3DS pointless than

i don't mind the screen and other features so much if somehow it isn't too expensive, but to make a controller compete with their own true handheld is just asinine awdood;

[spoiler]on second though, it's not like the 3ds was doing very well in the first place goowan[/spoiler]

what would be awesome is if the 3ds could wirelessly link up and perform as a controller.kind of like with the gba and the gcn. but without a cord/with games that actually support that feature.

wait does this make it so we wouldn't have to deal with the kind of shit they pulled with four swords adventures and crystal chronicles

i think that's what they're hoping to achieve with this

which i think is perfectly acceptable, but i highly object to making the controller itself a standalone console smithicide;

HOLY FUCK DREAMCAST 2 AWWWW YEAH

>implying Dreamcast 2 would be a good thing

Giant controllers are always a pain. The Dreamcast was no exception, nor was the original Xbox, and the same will go for Cafe. But the Dreamcast in particular had a rather convoluted organization of buttons on its controllers and were actually bigger than they even needed to be, even with the VMU inputs.

Of course, the worst part about the Dreamcast was that there were no fucking games for it beyond about 15 or so good ones, but that was more the fault of there being no third-party support.

I'm guessing this thing won't have any buttons aside from power, so a 6-inch screen will not be very big for a game controller.

In the sense that it's being released far too early in its generation, the other hardware manufacturers will release significantly more powerful competitors much later on, and its developer could lose its position as a hardware manufacturer as a result?

Agreed. bassir;
