New Nintendo 3DS: Now with Improved 2DS Functionality

[Robertfb]

YES! As a speedrnner of LBW, this makes me so happy since it means I won't have to spend $900+ to record speedruns of it! Now to get a Switch down the road lol.

Really hope its a port and they don't fix major glitches (can navigate OOB and skip most dark world dungeons to get paintings).

Edit: oh its just a rumor... Well it better come true! 3DS speed runs are so notoriously expensive to do since you have to go 3rd party for a capture card

Nintendo Teases the Possibility of a New Handheld to Succeed the 3DS/2DS

My prediction: They will make a set of AR glasses that let you see a game no one else can see projected against any flat surface while pushing virtual buttons connected to two Power Glove 2.0s that go around the wrist and connect to your thumbs and forefingers. The project codename will be "Infinite" and when it releases they'll call it the "Poo."

If it's not a cheaper-to-build hardware revision of the 3ds as they sunset the device, most I'd expect is a stripped down Switch that's smaller, joyconless, and handheld-only to get a cheaper Switch unit out, even though that'll bring about the problem of devs not supporting anything but traditional inputs in future Switch games for compatibility reasons.

Technically, in Japan they've begun releasing a cheaper Switch that comes without a Dock.

I've seen pictures floating around of a new $150 model of 2ds that has a hinge and is significantly thinner. They also seem to come in many different designs.




I think these already exist in Japan? In any case hopefully the build quality is incredible to justify the $50-70 markup over a normal new 2ds. Wouldn't be surprised if this is their successor because competing with their own Switch with an entirely new platform would be unbelievably stupid.

I think if Nintendo wants to do anything with a continued DS line it will be a clamshell type add-on with a built in half dock/battery that attaches to the Switch. The other concept I can see working is to release a Switch redesign that can be placed into portrait mode (w/ Joycons) that will display 1 or 2 screens depending on the game card inserted. This fixes their hardware exploit issue at the same time.

The only other thing I can conceive of them doing is going Gameboy Micro here and keeping the DS line alive just enough as a half supported 2DS XL like above that can also somehow run Switch carts at drastically downscaled resolution.

Whatever PR speak they want to throw out there, a full on 3DS successor will pull from Switch's business. I don't see them doing that.

I'm telling you guys, glasses and gloves, they'll call the gloves "Poo Fingers."

Uh, new 2DS XL has been a thing for a while now. Those designs are japan only though. There's only blue-green and creamsicle orange in NA. It has the faster processor and camera nub of the new 3DS XL only it doesn't have 3D and is therefore cheaper.

They're kind of shitty to use without headphones thou, because they moved the speakers to the bottom corners, which is awkward not to block with your hands. Loud sounds also cause the thing to vibrate.
