Did you honestly believe there wouldn't be a 3DS revision?

...honestly?

The bet wasn't about a whether there is a revision, it was about when it was coming

Edit: not directed at you, but more people need to read threads instead of running around like chickens with their heads cut off.

Fucking shit. I want to throw my new 3DS out of a window now.

What's the surprise about? Since the GAMEBOY ADVANCE Nintendo is releasing a new portable like every year or year and a half. At this point, a 3DS redesign should have been expected. Wait, there will be AT LEAST 2 redesigns. Welcome to reality --- that works like that since 10 years or more.
 
So this isn't even a rumor; it's a speculation? Perhaps a title change is in order

A thread lock would be better. We come up with our own speculation daily, why we needed to misinterpret foreign speculation as a legit rumour and make a thread is beyond me...

this is like posting "Michael Pachter predicts Wii HD for Fall 2010" (from 2 years ago or so) as "<x publication> reports Wii HD is coming, will have blu-ray and swirling nipples on the remote condom"

Even if this specific report is bullshit, a 3DS revision is absolutely coming and probably by year end.

MOAR speculation!

I'd buy the revision if it had the 2nd stick and if it was cheaper, like around 120-130 (I want 100 but that's not happening yet). Even if it came in December I'd be ok with that as I still don't see anything that's out now or coming out soon that I absolutely have to play.

Can someone who reads Japanese translate this new post from Esuteru? Seems to be casting doubt on both this and the MH Vita rumor, but I might have it wrong.

It's a note at the bottom of the page of Nikkei Trendy saying this and Monster Hunter Vita story are predictions.

Exluding gb micro, has a Nintendo revision ever been cheaper than its predecessor model?

"thickness improved" if that means a thinner 3DS, then I don't want it.

Also if it's thinner I find it hard to believe the battery life could be improved much, if at all.


As someone who can read the print...this isnt even a rumor. Its noting a "possibility". Pure speculation.

that being said, of course it is true.

OK, good.

I honestly really don't care about any 3DS revision rumor that doesn't mention XL... or I guess LL in Japan.

Two copies sold? That's not a bomb guys, stop trolling!!!
It seems Gaf mods enjoy seeing the overreactions at things like this, where all we have are only two PREDICTIONS.
They think it's funny...and it's not that they're completely wrong XD

Well, that settles it.

this show is not Breaking Bad why is it not Breaking Bad? it should be Breaking Bad dammit Breaking Bad
I don't want a lite, I want an XL, I thought we covered this last summer.
If there is no extra numb, and an increase in screen size, along with a better viewing angle, and video-out, this technology does not warrant an extra purchase. :/

makes good threads.
Why are people AT ALL surprised about this? Everyone, including early adopters like me, knew that there was a high chance that a revision of the 3DS was coming in a year's time.
 
fhdjkkfdsfkhjldfsfhjd fuckers i just bought it a week ago :(

Sorry, I like the sound of both rumors speculations predictions, so I'll continue believing them.

Let's discuss form factor. I'm working on a mock up.

What makes you think it's coming next month? It hasn't even been officially announced. I've never known Nintendo to launch a new model of their handheld less then a month after it's announced, it typically takes this six months or more. As you said, there are special edition models coming in March; definitely not coming any time soon.

DS Lite was announced January 26th, and released March 2nd in Japan.

The 'H' stands for hentai.
At the very least I expect models in fall of this year to sport less chips and smaller chips to have better battery life. There may not be a redesign, but new 3DS version should have better battery life over what we have now.

Also, the PS Vita will probably get a chip revision within its first year considering that they are using smartphone internals.
